On April 10, 2012, Edgen Murray II, L.P. and its subsidiaries, Edgen Murray Corporation (“EMC”), Edgen Murray Europe Limited (“EM Europe”), Edgen Murray Canada Inc. (“EM Canada”), Edgen Murray Pte. Ltd. (“EM Pte”) and the other Loan Parties (as defined in the Seventh Amendment) party thereto (collectively, “the Company”), entered into a consent and seventh amendment (the “Seventh Amendment”) to the Company’s senior secured revolving credit facility (the “EM revolving credit facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Toronto Branch, J.P. Morgan Europe Limited, The HongKong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited and the Lenders (as defined in the Seventh Amendment).

The Seventh Amendment permits EM Pte to incur $10 million of additional indebtedness secured by a warehouse facility owned by EM Pte in Singapore and increases the unused line fee payable to The HongKong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, the Singapore Administrative Agent and the Singapore Collateral Agent under the EM revolving credit facility, from 0.50% to 0.65%.

Additionally, the Seventh Amendment permits the Company to effect certain restructuring transactions to facilitate the proposed initial public offering of Edgen Group Inc., to release Edgen Murray II, L.P. from its obligations under the EM revolving credit facility and to provide for certain other conforming and definitional changes. The effectiveness of these amendments is subject to the completion of the proposed initial public offering of Edgen Group Inc. and customary closing conditions.

There is no material relationship between the Company or any of its affiliates and any of the parties to the Seventh Amendment, other than in respect of the Seventh Amendment and the EM revolving credit facility. Certain of such parties or their affiliates have in the past performed, and may in the future from time to time perform, investment banking, financial advisory, lending or commercial banking or trustee services for the Company and its affiliates, for which they have received, and may in the future receive, customary compensation and reimbursement of expenses.

The foregoing summary of the Seventh Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Seventh Amendment, a copy of which is attached to this Report as Exhibit 10.1.
