Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 7, 2015, the Registrant, its wholly owned subsidiaries Innophos Investments Holdings, Inc. and Innophos, Inc., as Subsidiary Borrowers, and its wholly owned subsidiaries Innophos Nutrition, Inc., and Woody IV, LLC, as Guarantors (each a “Company” and collectively, the “Companies”), entered into a Second Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with a group of lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”) including Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent. The Second Amendment amends that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2012 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), between the Companies and the Lenders.

The Second Amendment deletes certain financial requirements that the Companies previously had to satisfy in order to make certain Restricted Payments (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Specifically, the Second Amendment eliminates the Companies’ need to comply with a specified pro forma Senior Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in order to make certain Restricted Payments, while still retaining the requirement that the Companies comply with a specified Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as the sole debt ratio tests with regard to certain Restricted Payments. The Second Amendment also eliminates the requirement that the Companies maintain a pro forma $25 million Accessible Borrowing Availability (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (after giving effect to certain dividend payments to shareholders) for certain Restricted Payments, provided that the Companies do not pay more than $60 million in regular quarterly dividend payments each year.
               
As of the close of the last reporting period under the Credit Agreement (June 30, 2015), the Registrant’s Total Leverage Ratio calculated in accordance with the Credit Agreement was 1.89 which satisfied the 3.0:1.0 limit for the Total Leverage Ratio in the Credit Agreement.

The above summary description is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference in response to this item.
