Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 10, 2015 Rentech, Inc. and Drax Power Limited (“Drax”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Agreement for the Sale and Purchase of Biomass, dated May 1, 2013 (as has been amended, modified or supplemented, the “Supply Agreement”), to move up the commencement of Delivery Year 3 (as is defined in the Supply Agreement) from January 1, 2016 to the earlier date of December 15, 2015 and to divide the first supra-max size shipment under the Supply Agreement into two smaller shipments. The Amendment gives the parties more flexibility on the timing and amount of the initial shipments of wood pellets to Drax, but does not modify the total amount of wood pellets that we will provide to Drax under the Supply Agreement in Delivery Year 3.
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains only a summary of the Amendment. The summary does not purport to be a complete summary of the Amendment and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
