Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 29, 2016, Technical Consumer Products, Inc., Technical Consumer Products Canada, Inc. and Bowman Lamps, LLC (collectively "Loan Parties"), subsidiaries of TCP International Holdings Ltd., entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with the lenders referenced therein and PNC Bank, National Association, as agent for the lenders. The Amended Credit Agreement amends and restates the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement dated as of December 11, 2009, as amended. The Amended Credit Agreement, among other things:

increases the maximum availability under the revolving line of credit agreement to $50.0 million from $40.0 million;
extends the term to September 29, 2020;
eliminates the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant;
reduces the minimum aggregate intercompany payable from the Loan Parties to TCP Asia to never be less than $30.0 million;
institutes a new covenant that the Loan Parties must maintain a minimum undrawn availability under the revolving line of credit of $5.0 million at all times;
provides for springing cash dominion so long as the undrawn availability under the revolving line of credit is greater than $7.5 million, whereby the Loan Parties shall retain the right to direct the disposition of funds collected in the accounts receivable lockbox account outside of a cash dominion period;
permits distributions to TCP International Holdings Ltd. of up to $5.0 million annually provided certain availability requirements are met; and
waives each event of default arising from the failure of the Loan Parties to comply with the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant for each fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2015 up to June 30, 2016.


The description of the Amended Credit Agreement set forth above is qualified entirely by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
