Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations
Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 On April 27, 2020, International Seaways Operating Corporation (the “Borrower”), a subsidiary of International Seaways, Inc. (the “Company”), and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a first amendment (the “First Amendment”) to a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) comprising $390 million of secured debt facilities with Nordea Bank Abp, New York Branch, ABN AMRO Capital USA LLC, Crédit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank, DNB Capital LLC, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (PUBL), BNP Paribas and Danish Ship Finance A/S.
 
 The First Amendment, among other things, (i) corrects the definition of “Adjusted LIBOR Rate” to reflect the zero percent LIBOR floor previously agreed among the parties; (ii) clarifies the definition of “Permitted Charter” by noting that the time period specified therein does not include any specified or actual redelivery period extending past the initial charter term, and (iii) permits electronic execution of documents relating to the Credit Agreement.
 The description of the First Amendment set forth in this Item 1.01 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the First Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and which is incorporated herein by reference.
