Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amendment to DIP Credit Agreement

On September 15, 2016, Horsehead Holding Corp. (the “Company”) and certain of its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (together with the Company, the “Debtors”) entered into Amendment No. 5 and Waiver (the “DIP Amendment”) to the Senior Secured Superpriority Debtor-in-Possession Credit, Security and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of February 8, 2016, as amended, with the lenders party thereto (the “DIP Lenders”) and Cantor Fitzgerald Securities, as administrative agent.

Pursuant to the DIP Amendment, the DIP Lenders waived certain events of default including the Debtors’ failure to meet certain milestones. The DIP Amendment updated the milestones that the Debtors are required to comply with in the Chapter 11 proceedings as follows:

 

    On or prior to September 9, 2016, entry by the Bankruptcy Court of an order approving a plan of reorganization that is acceptable to certain parties, including the Debtors and the DIP Lenders (an “Acceptable Plan”), which deadline has been met;

 

    On or prior to September 12, 2016, entry by the Canadian Court of an order recognizing such order by the Bankruptcy Court approving the Acceptable Plan, which deadline has been met; and

 

    On or prior to September 30, 2016, the consummation date of the Acceptable Plan.

The DIP Amendment also allowed the Debtors to deliver consolidated and consolidating balance sheets of the Company and its subsidiaries for the month ending August 31, 2016 on or prior to September 16, 2016 instead of on or prior to September 15, 2016, which deadline has been met.

Amendment to Unit Purchase and Support Agreement

The Debtors executed Amendment No. 1, effective as of August 30, 2016 (the “UPA Amendment”), to the Unit Purchase and Support Agreement, dated as of July 11, 2016 (as amended, the “UPA”), with certain holders of claims against the Debtors that are listed therein as plan sponsors (collectively, the “Plan Sponsors”).

The UPA Amendment, among other things, (i) adds an additional Plan Sponsor as a signatory to the UPA and correspondingly amends the respective schedules and purchase commitments to reflect such addition, (ii) allows the reorganized Company to call up to $15 million of Additional Capital Commitment Units for working capital needs and other general purposes, and (iii) amends various provisions of the UPA to reflect the above milestones, including that the effective date of the plan of reorganization shall occur by 5:00 PM, New York City time, on September 30, 2016.

The foregoing descriptions of the DIP Amendment and the UPA Amendment do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the DIP Amendment and the UPA Amendment, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, hereto, and are incorporated by reference herein.
