Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On May 16, 2018, InfraREIT, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiary, InfraREIT Partners, LP, entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Management Agreement, dated January 29, 2015 (the “Management Agreement”), with Hunt Utility Services, LLC (“Hunt Manager”). The Amendment modifies certain notice periods required by the Management Agreement in connection with the expiration of the initial term of the Management Agreement on December 31, 2019, including extending the date by which notice must be given of any decision on behalf of the Company to terminate the Management Agreement upon its expiration. As amended, if the Company’s independent directors decide to terminate the Management Agreement upon the expiration of the initial term, the Company must give Hunt Manager notice of the termination no later than June 30, 2019 and otherwise comply with the existing termination provisions of the Management Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
