Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 20, 2020, Chart Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Chart”), entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to its existing Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among Chart, Chart Industries Luxembourg S.à.r.l. (“Chart Lux”), Chart Asia Investment Company Limited (“Chart Asia”, together with Chart Lux and Chart, the “Borrowers”), the other foreign borrowers from time to time party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. A copy of the Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

The Amendment, among other things, (i) adjusts the pricing grid in order to accommodate potentially higher leverage ratios, (ii) adjusts factoring related definitions and other related provisions to provide Chart with greater flexibility to enter into such arrangements in the future, (iii) incorporates a “cash hoarding” prevention covenant and (iv) incorporates various amendments to reflect interest rate floor and other changes to the Loan Syndications and Trading Association and Loan Market Association market standards for credit agreements. The terms and conditions under the Credit Agreement are otherwise substantially the same as those prior to the Amendment.

The description of the Amendment set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 2.02 | Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On April 23, 2020, Chart Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a news release announcing the Company’s financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, as well as supplemental information for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020. A copy of the news release is furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1, and a copy of the supplemental information is furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.2. All information in the news release and the supplemental information is furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” with the Securities and Exchange Commission for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise be subject to the liability of that Section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporated it by reference.

The news release and supplemental information furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K include measures of which exclude certain items required to be presented under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These measures are not recognized under GAAP and are referred to as “non-GAAP financial measures” in Regulation G under the Exchange Act. The Company believes these measures are of interest to investors and facilitate useful period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s financial results, and this information

is used by the Company in evaluating internal performance. The non-GAAP measures are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure in tables at the end of the news release and in the supplemental information.
