Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Credit Agreement

On August 7, 2014, Gentherm Incorporated (“Gentherm”), together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries Gentherm GmbH (the “German Borrower”), Gentherm (Texas), Inc. (“Gentherm Texas”), Gentherm Canada Ltd. (“Gentherm Canada”) and Global Thermoelectric Inc. (“Global” and, together with Gentherm Canada, the “Canadian Borrowers”, and collectively with Gentherm, the German Borrower and Gentherm Texas, the “Borrowers”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Agent”).

The Credit Agreement provides for a $100 million secured revolving credit facility for the Borrowers, with a $10 million sublimit for the Canadian Borrowers and a $25 million sublimit for the German Borrower, a $50 million secured term loan facility for Gentherm, and a €20 million secured term loan facility for the German Borrower.  Subject to specified conditions, Gentherm can increase the revolving credit facility or incur additional secured term loans in an aggregate amount of $50 million.  A portion of the proceeds of the term loans and borrowings under the revolving credit facility will be used to refinance existing indebtedness of certain Borrowers (see Item 1.02 below).

All obligations under the Credit Agreement (including all the obligations of any U.S. or non-U.S. loan party) are unconditionally guaranteed by Gentherm, Gentherm Texas and Gentherm’s subsidiary, Westridge Haggerty LLC (“Westridge”). Additionally, the German Borrower, the Canadian Borrowers and Gentherm’s indirect subsidiaries, Gentherm Holding (Malta) Limited, Gentherm Automotive Systems (Malta) Ltd. and Gentherm Hungary Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság guarantee all obligations of the non-U.S. loan parties under the Credit Agreement

Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at either Base Rate, for U.S. Dollar denominated loans to Gentherm or Gentherm Texas, or the Eurocurrency Rate (each as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus a margin for Base Rate loans ranging from 0.50% to 1.00% or a margin for Eurocurrency Rate loans ranging from 1.50% to 2.00% based upon the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of Gentherm and its subsidiaries. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a security interest in substantially all personal property of Gentherm, Gentherm Texas and Westridge, including the stock and membership interests of Gentherm’s and Gentherm Texas’ subsidiaries (limited to 66% of the stock in the case of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries).

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants that will prohibit or limit the ability of the Borrowers and any material subsidiary to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, create liens, pay dividends, make certain types of investments, including acquisitions, enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates, prepay other indebtedness, sell assets, merge with other companies or enter into certain other transactions outside the ordinary course of business. The Credit Agreement also requires compliance with certain financial covenants. The Credit Agreement additionally contains customary events of default, including, but not limited to: (a) non-payment of amounts due; (b) material breach of representations, warranties or covenants under the Credit Agreement or the documents pertaining thereto; (c) cross-default provisions relating to other indebtedness obligations; (d) judgments or attachments against property; (e) bankruptcy or similar proceedings or insolvency; or (f) certain changes in control. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the amounts outstanding under the credit facility may be accelerated and may become immediately due and payable.

A copy of the Credit Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and the above description of the material terms of the Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Security Agreement

On August 7, 2014, Gentherm, Gentherm Texas and Westridge entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) in favor of the Agent for the Secured Parties (each as defined in the Security Agreement). Pursuant to the Security Agreement, each of Gentherm, Gentherm Texas and Westridge granted the Agent a security interest in substantially all of their personal property to secure their respective obligations under the Credit Agreement. The Security Agreement is subject to customary covenants regulating or restricting, among other things, preservation and use of collateral and changes of name or other corporate information, and grants the Agent customary rights and remedies following the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Agreement.
