Amendment to Credit Agreement

On April 3, 2017, The Chemours Company (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 4 (the “Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement dated May 12, 2015 (the “Credit Agreement”) among The Chemours Company, the lenders and issuing banks party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent.

The Amendment provides for a new class of term loans, denominated in Euros, in an aggregate principal amount of €400,000,000 (the “Euro Tranche”), and a new class of term loans, denominated in dollars, in an aggregate principal amount of $940,000,000 (the “Dollar Tranche”, and, collectively with the Euro Tranche, the “New Term Loans”). The proceeds of the New Term Loans will be used to prepay in full the term loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement (the “Existing Term Loans”). No incremental debt was incurred as a result of the Amendment. The New Term Loans mature on May 12, 2022 which is the same maturity date of the Existing Term Loans. The Euro Tranche bears a variable interest rate equal to EURIBOR plus 2.25% subject to a EURIBOR floor of 0.75% and the Dollar Tranche bears a variable interest rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.50% subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.00%. The Amendment also modifies certain provisions of the Credit Agreement, including certain negative covenants to allow further flexibility for the Company.  

The foregoing summary of the Amendment is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Amendment that is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
