Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On May 13, 2011, Twin Disc, Incorporated ("Twin Disc") entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with M&I Marshall & Ilsley Bank ("M&I").
 
Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Twin Disc may, from time to time, enter into revolving credit loans in amounts not to exceed, in the aggregate, M&I’s revolving credit commitment of $40,000,000.  Outstanding revolving credit loans will bear interest at LIBOR, plus an “Add-On” between 1.5% and 2.5% depending on Twin Disc’s total funded debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined in the Loan Agreement). In addition to principal and interest payments, Twin Disc will be responsible for paying quarterly commitment fees on the unused revolving credit commitment of between .25% and .375%, depending on Twin Disc’s total funded debt to EBITDA ratio.  Twin Disc has the option of making additional prepayments subject to certain limitations.
 
The Loan Agreement includes financial covenants regarding minimum net worth, minimum EBITDA for the most recent four fiscal quarters of $11,000,000, and a maximum total funded debt to EBITDA ratio of 3.0:1. The Loan Agreement also includes certain restrictive covenants that limit, among other things, certain investments, acquisitions and indebtedness.  The Loan Agreement provides that it shall automatically include any covenants or events of default not previously included in the Loan Agreement to the extent such covenants or events of default are granted to any other lender of an amount in excess of $1,000,000.  Following an event of default, M&I may accelerate all amounts outstanding under any revolving credit notes or the Loan Agreement.  The Loan Agreement is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2015.
 
A copy of the Loan Agreement is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The description of the Loan Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.1.
