Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

8.25% Senior Notes due 2021

On January 18, 2017, Navistar International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), completed the sale (the “Offering”) of $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 8.25% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Notes”), pursuant to the terms of the underwriting agreement dated January 12, 2017 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among the Company, Navistar, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Guarantor”), and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”). The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company sold the Notes at a price to public equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, from November 1, 2016 to, but excluding, the closing date, and has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Notes were issued as additional notes pursuant to an indenture, dated October 28, 2009 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), under which the Company previously issued $1.3 billion in aggregate principal amount of 8.25% senior notes due 2021 (the “Existing Senior Notes”), of which $1.2 billion remains outstanding. The Notes will be treated together with the Existing Senior Notes as a single series of debt securities and will have the same terms as and be fungible with the Existing Senior Notes. The Company expects to use the net proceeds of the Offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures. The Indenture was previously filed as Exhibit 4.1 to Current Report on Form 8-K filed October 28, 2009 (Commission File Number 001-09618).

The Notes are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-213745) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 22, 2016 and which was subsequently declared effective on October 5, 2016.
