Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 19, 2007, Huntsman International LLC (the Company), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huntsman Corporation, entered into a Third Amendment to Credit Agreement (the Amendment) with Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and the other financial institutions party thereto, amending certain terms of the Companys existing senior secured credit facilities (the Senior Secured Facilities). The amended Senior Secured Facilities consist of (i) a $650 million revolving facility due 2010 (the Revolving Facility) and (ii) a $1,640 million Dollar denominated term loan due 2014 (the Term Loan).
Borrowings under the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.75%, subject to reduction upon achieving certain leverage ratio thresholds, and with respect to the Term Loan, upon the occurrence of certain events. The Amendment contains one financial covenant, which is applicable only to the Revolving Facility and only so long as any loans or letters of credit are outstanding under the Revolving Facility. The Amendment also contains customary restrictions and limitations on the Companys ability to incur liens, incur additional debt, merge or sell assets, make certain restricted payments, prepay other indebtedness, make investments or engage in transactions with affiliates and other customary default provisions.
The foregoing does not constitute a complete summary of the terms of the Amendment. The description of the terms of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the related press release issued by the Company on April 19, 2007 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
