Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01. Entry into Material Definitive Agreement

On March 30, 2011, X-Rite, Incorporated (the “Company”) and certain of its domestic subsidiaries entered into a new $225 million senior secured credit agreement, with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Fifth Third Bank and General Electric Capital Corporation, as Co-Syndication Agents, and the other lenders party thereto, consisting of a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $55 million and a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $170 million (the “Credit Facility”).

Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR or Prime interest rate, plus initial spreads of 350 and 250 basis points, respectively (subject to adjustment based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio), payable in arrears on the last day of the applicable interest period but in no event less frequently than every three months. In addition, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Company will have the right to raise additional funds to increase the amounts available under the Credit Facility up to an aggregate of $300 million. The Credit Facility matures on March 30, 2016.

The new credit agreement contains various customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company, including, without limitation, (i) covenants regarding maximum leverage and minimum fixed charge coverage; (ii) limitations on the amount of capital expenditures; (iii) limitations on fundamental changes involving the Company or its subsidiaries, (iv) limitations on the disposition of assets and (v) limitations on indebtedness, investments, restricted payments and liens.

The obligations of the Company under the Credit Facility are secured on a senior basis by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its material United States subsidiaries and guaranteed by Company’s material United States subsidiaries.

The Company initially borrowed approximately $185 million under the Credit Facility. The Company used the proceeds from the Credit Facility and cash on hand to refinance the outstanding indebtedness under its prior credit facility and to redeem all of its outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock having an aggregate redemption amount of $49.4 million. The Company will incur charges of approximately $14 million associated with this refinancing transaction primarily related to the early redemption fee and unamortized discount on the Series A Preferred Stock.

The descriptions of the Credit Facility set forth above are qualified in their entirety by reference to the credit agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.

In addition, on March 30, 2011, all of the Company’s outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock were redeemed.
