On May 29, 2015, Masco Corporation (the “Company”) amended its Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) dated as of March 28, 2013 among the Company and Masco Europe S.à r.l., as borrowers, the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Citibank, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and Royal Bank of Canada, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., PNC Bank, National Association, and SunTrust Bank, as Co-Documentation Agents. The amendment was entered into in connection with the proposed spin-off of the Company’s subsidiary TopBuild Corp.
The amendment reduces the aggregate commitment of the lenders to $750 million, reduces certain pricing levels, and extends the Credit Agreement maturity date to May 29, 2020. The debt to capitalization ratio covenant of the Credit Agreement is replaced with a maximum net leverage ratio covenant that prohibits the Company’s ratio of net consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA from exceeding 4.0 to 1.0. The aggregate thresholds for permitted consolidated subsidiary indebtedness, liens securing debt not otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement and certain specified investments were adjusted to reflect the spin-off of TopBuild Corp.
