| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On September 30, 2016, REG Services Group, LLC and REG Marketing & Logistics, LLC (collectively, the “Borrowers”), wholly-owned subsidiaries of Renewable Energy Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Joinder and Amendment No. 11 to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) to that certain Credit Agreement originally dated as of December 23, 2011, by and among Borrowers, the lenders party thereto (“Lenders”) and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, as the agent, and Fifth Third Bank, as a new lender (as amended, the “Revolving Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amendment, the maximum commitment of the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Agreement to make revolving loans was increased from $60.0 million to $150.0 million, and an accordion feature was added to the Revolving Credit Agreement, which allows the Company to request commitments for additional revolving loans in aggregate amount not to exceed to $50.0 million, subject to customary conditions, including the consent of Lenders providing such additional commitments. The Amendment extends the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Agreement to September 30, 2021. In addition, the interest rate under the Revolving Credit Agreement was modified so that loans advanced thereunder will now bear interest based on a one-month LIBOR rate (which shall not be less than zero), plus a margin based on Quarterly Average Excess Availability (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement), which may range from 1.75% per annum to 2.25% per annum. Certain financial covenants applicable to the Borrowers under the Revolving Credit Agreement were also modified.
