On March 1, 2013, in connection with the cash tender offer and consent solicitation (the "Tender Offer") by American Axle & Manufacturing, Inc. (the "Company") for any and all of its outstanding $300 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Notes due March 1, 2017 (the "Notes"), the Company accepted for payment and paid for $172,581,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes, and the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to BNY Midwest Trust Company), as trustee (the "Trustee"), entered into a first supplemental indenture dated as of February 28, 2013 (the "First Supplemental Indenture"). The First Supplemental Indenture amends and supplements the indenture, dated as of February 27, 2007 (the "Indenture"), among the Company, American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings, Inc., as guarantor, and the Trustee, pursuant to which the Notes were issued. The First Supplemental Indenture became operative on March 1, 2013 upon the acceptance and payment by the Company of all Notes tendered in the Tender Offer before 5:00 p.m., February 28, 2013. The First Supplemental Indenture amends the Indenture to, among other things, eliminate most of the restrictive covenants and certain default provisions applicable to the Notes and shorten the notice required to be given to holders in the case of redemption of the notes. A copy of the First Supplemental Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
