Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On October 26, 2012, Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") entered into Amendment No. 1 (the "Amendment") to its senior secured Credit Agreement, dated as of April 18, 2012, among Spirit AeroSystems, Inc., as borrower (the "Borrower"), the Company, as parent guarantor, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other agents named therein (the "Credit Agreement"). The Amendment adjusts the senior secured leverage ratio through the first quarter of 2013 and the other financial covenant ratios through the second quarter of 2013, after which times the respective financial covenant ratios will revert back to pre-amended ratios.

Certain of the lenders under the Credit Agreement and their affiliates have provided certain commercial banking, financial advisory and investment banking services to the Company and its affiliates in the past and may do so in the future. In addition, The Bank of New York Mellon, one of the lenders under the Credit Agreement, and its affiliates act as the trustee, paying agent and registrar for the Borrower's senior notes and the investment manager for the Company's U.S. defined benefit pension plan. Such parties received, and expect to receive, customary fees and commissions for these services.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
