Item 1.01     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 13, 2014, GSE Holding, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its affiliates, including GSE Environmental, Inc. (collectively with the Company, the “Credit Parties”), entered into a limited waiver and third amendment (the “Priming Facility Amendment”) to their secured revolving super priority credit facility with General Electric Capital Corporation (the “Agent”) and the other financial institutions party thereto (as amended from time to time, the “Priming Facility”).  On March 13, 2014, the Credit Parties entered into a tenth amendment (the “First Lien Credit Facility Amendment”) to their first lien senior secured credit facility with the Agent and the other financial institutions party thereto (as amended from time to time, the “First Lien Credit Facility”).

Pursuant to the Priming Facility Amendment, the lenders have agreed to eliminate the Priming Facility’s requirement of an interest reserve, the result of which provides an additional $1.3 million of liquidity for the Company.

As previously disclosed and pursuant to the Priming Facility and the First Lien Credit Facility, the Company has agreed to pursue a sale process to sell the Company and use the proceeds to repay its indebtedness. Among other things, the Priming Facility Amendment extends the deadline for the completion of an acceptable sale from March 30, 2014 to April 30, 2014, while the First Lien Credit Facility Amendment extends the deadline for the completion of an acceptable sale from March 30, 2014 to April 21, 2014. The failure to meet these deadlines would result in an event of default under one or both of the Priming Facility and the First Lien Credit Facility. 

There can be no assurance that the Company can conclude an acceptable sale and that, if a sale is completed, the Company’s creditors will receive payment in full or the Company’s stockholders will receive any recovery in connection with the sale process.

The foregoing descriptions of the Priming Facility Amendment and the First Lien Credit Facility Amendment are summaries of the terms of such amendments and are qualified in their entirety by the text of the Priming Facility Amendment and the First Lien Credit Facility Amendment, copies of which are being filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

On March 14, 2014, the Company issued a press release announcing the Priming Facility Amendment and the First Lien Credit Facility Amendment. A copy of this press release is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
