Form 8-K for KENNAMETAL INC


6-Jul-2009

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement


Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 6, 2009, we entered into an amendment (the Amendment) to our existing $500 million Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) which expires on March 21, 2011. A copy of the Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and the following summary is not a complete description of all of the provisions of the Amendment and is qualified by reference to the Amendment.
The Amendment changes certain operational covenants with which we must comply including our consolidated leverage ratio. We are currently required to have a consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) which does not exceed 3.50 to 1.00. The Amendment permits our consolidated leverage ratio to be up to 4.25 to 1.00 on September 30, 2009, 4.95 to 1.00 on December 31, 2009 and 4.00 to 1.00 on March 31, 2010. Thereafter, it returns to 3.50 to 1.00. The Amendment also changes the manner in which we compute the consolidated leverage ratio by permitting us to exclude cash restructuring charges up to a cumulative aggregate of $134 million over the remainder of the Credit Agreement term. Although the Amendment permits our consolidated leverage ratio to exceed 3.50 to 1.00 at the times set forth above, it also imposes additional restrictions if our consolidated leverage ratio exceeds that amount: (a) if the ratio exceeds 3.50 to 1.00, we are prohibited from (i) share repurchases and securitizations,
(ii) making cash acquisitions in excess of $25 million (and after giving effect to any acquisition our pro forma consolidated leverage ratio may not exceed levels specified in the Amendment) and (iii) entering into capital leases in excess of $5 million; (b) if the ratio exceeds 4.00 to 1.00 at any time on or after September 30, 2009, we are required to grant security interests in our domestic accounts receivable, inventory and related general intangibles to secure a portion of the Credit Agreement. The Amendment also changes our lien covenant and off-balance sheet financing covenant. Lastly, the Amendment makes the pricing grid used to determine the applicable interest rates that we must pay dependent solely on our debt ratings and increases our interest rates by approximately 190 basis points as well as increasing other fees. Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
(d) Exhibits.

Exhibit 10.1    Amendment Number 1 to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
                dated as of July 6, 2009.
