Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.



On July 19, 2016, Intersil Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Intersil”), entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by and among Intersil, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender, and letter of credit issuer, and certain other lenders (the “Amended Credit Agreement”).  The Amended Credit Agreement amends and restates the senior secured credit facility Intersil entered into on September 1, 2011, which was set to expire on September 1, 2016.

The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $225 million revolving loan facility.  Amounts repaid under the Amended Credit Agreement may be re-borrowed.  No amounts were drawn on at closing.  The Amended Credit Agreement matures on the fifth anniversary of its closing and is payable in full upon maturity.

The Amended Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority lien and security interest in (a) all equity interests of and intercompany debt of Intersil’s direct and indirect subsidiaries (other than immaterial subsidiaries), except, in the case of foreign subsidiaries, to the extent that such pledge would be prohibited by applicable law or would result in adverse tax consequences, (b) substantially all present and future tangible and intangible assets (other than real property) of Intersil and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (other than immaterial subsidiaries and foreign subsidiaries), and (c) all proceeds and products of the property and assets described in clauses (a) and (b) above.  Intersil’s obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Intersil’s direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (other than immaterial subsidiaries and foreign subsidiaries).

The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default.

The foregoing is a summary of certain provisions of the Amended Credit Agreement, is not intended to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended Credit Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and the terms of which are incorporated by reference.
