In connection with the closing of the Vitro Acquisition (as defined below in Item 2.01), on September 1, 2015, Owens-Illinois Group, Inc. (“OI Group”), a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Owens-Illinois, Inc. (“OI Inc.”), and certain of OI Group’s direct and indirect subsidiaries entered into Amendment No. 2  (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) in respect of its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Syndicated Facility Agreement, dated April 22, 2015, by and among OI Group and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, as Administrative Agent, Owens-Illinois General Inc., as Borrowers’ Agent and the other Agents, Arrangers and Lenders named therein (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement Amendment provides for additional incremental availability under the dollar cap in the Credit Agreement of up to $1,250 million.

In addition, in connection with the closing of the Vitro Acquisition, on September 1, 2015, OI Group and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries entered into the First Incremental Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Incremental Amendment”). The Incremental Amendment included $1,250 million of senior secured incremental term loan facilities, comprised of (i) a $675 million term loan A facility (the “incremental term loan A facility”) subject to substantially the same terms and conditions (including as to maturity) as the term loan A facility in the Credit Agreement and (ii) a $575 million term loan B facility maturing seven years after the closing of the Vitro Acquisition using capacity under the Credit Agreement. The interest rate on the incremental term loan B facility is, at OI Group’s option, the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for the term loan B facility is 2.75% for Eurocurrency Rate loans and 1.75% for Base Rate loans. The incremental term loan B facility is subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.75%. The Incremental Amendment obliges OI Group to make mandatory prepayments with excess cash flow, on an annual basis commencing with excess cash flow for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement.

The foregoing summary descriptions of the Credit Agreement Amendment and the Incremental Amendment are not intended to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by the complete text of the Credit Agreement Amendment and the Incremental Amendment, which are filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and is incorporated herein by reference.
