Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 5, 2015, PMC-Sierra, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PMC” or the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary PMC-Sierra US, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), Wintegra, Inc. and Bank of America, N.A. along with certain lenders entered into an  amendment (the “Amendment”) to the credit agreement dated as of August 2, 2013 by and among the Borrowers, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and a lender, and a syndicate of other lenders (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).   The Amendment revises clause (b) of the definition of “Change of Control” in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement to narrow the definition of “Change of Control” to provide that it will not qualify as a change of control in a situation where a majority of the members of the incumbent board or equivalent governing body approves new directors who were initially nominated or assumed office as a member of the board or equivalent governing body as a result of an actual or threatened proxy contest.

 

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