Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 16, 2015, Donaldson Company, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a First Supplement to Note Purchase Agreement, dated April 16, 2015, with a group of institutional investors (the “First Supplement”), which supplements a Note Purchase Agreement, dated March 27, 2014 (as amended by a First Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement dated as of March 9, 2015, the “Note Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the First Supplement, the Company, on April 16, 2015, sold $25 million aggregate principal amount of 2.93% Senior Notes, Series 2015-A, due April 16, 2025, to certain of the institutional investors. Subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, the First Supplement also provides for the issuance and sale, on June 25, 2015, of $125 million aggregate principal amount of 3.18% Senior Notes, Series 2015-B, due June 17, 2030, to certain of the institutional investors. Both series of notes are, or will be, guaranteed by one of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. The primary purpose of the issuance of the notes is to refinance existing indebtedness.
The First Supplement through incorporation of the Note Purchase Agreement contains certain covenants on the part of the Company, including a debt to EBTIDA covenant, priority debt to consolidated total capitalization covenant and covenants relating to liens, asset sales and mergers, among others. The Agreement also specifies certain events of default, upon the occurrence of which the maturity of the notes may be accelerated, including the failure to pay principal and interest, violation of covenants or default on other indebtedness, among others.
The foregoing description of the First Supplement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the First Supplement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
