Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 27, 2014, Oceaneering International, Inc. ("Oceaneering"or "we") entered into a new credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), as administrative agent and swingline lender, and certain other financial institutions, as lenders. The Credit Agreement provides for a $300 million three-year delayed-draw term loan (the "Term Loan Facility") and a $500 million five-year revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the "Facility"). The Credit Agreement replaces the Prior Credit Agreement (as defined in Item 1.02 below) that was scheduled to mature on January 6, 2017. Subject to certain conditions, the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility may be increased to up to $800 million at any time upon the agreement of Oceaneering and existing or additional lenders. Borrowings under the Facility may be used (1) to refinance our outstanding obligations under the Prior Credit Agreement and (2) for general corporate purposes. Simultaneously with the execution of the Credit Agreement and pursuant to its terms, we repaid all amounts outstanding under, and terminated, the Prior Credit Agreement.
Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, DNB Markets, Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, and HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. acted as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners for the Facility. Wells Fargo is the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement, DNB Bank ASA is the Syndication Agent, and HSBC Bank USA, National Association and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. are Documentation Agents.
The Term Loan Facility is scheduled to mature on October 27, 2017, and the Revolving Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on October 25, 2019. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at an Adjusted Base Rate or the Eurodollar Rate (both as defined in the Credit Agreement), at our option, plus an applicable margin to be initially based on our Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and, at our election, should we obtain ratings of our senior unsecured debt by both Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, thereafter to be based on such debt ratings. The applicable margin varies: (1) in the case of advances bearing interest at the Adjusted Base Rate, from 0.125% to 0.750% for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and from 0% to 0.500% for borrowings under the Term Loan Facility; and (2) in the case of advances bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, from 1.125% to 1.750% for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and from 1.000% to 1.500% for borrowings under the Term Loan Facility. The Adjusted Base Rate is the highest of (1) the per annum rate established by the administrative agent as its prime rate, (2) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (3) daily one-month LIBOR plus 1%.
The Credit Agreement contains various covenants that we believe are customary for agreements of this nature, including, but not limited to, restrictions on our ability and the ability of each of our subsidiaries to incur debt, grant liens, make certain investments, make distributions, merge or consolidate, sell assets, enter into transactions with affiliates and enter into certain restrictive agreements. We are also subject to a maximum Leverage Ratio of 4.00 to 1.00. The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default and associated remedies.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.

A portion of the proceeds of the borrowings under the Facility were used to repay the outstanding indebtedness under the Prior Credit Agreement.
