Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 8, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), EnerSys (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Amendment amends the Credit Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2017 (as amended, restated, supplanted or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the Effective Date, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, the other borrowers from time to time party thereto, the guarantors from time to time party thereto, Bank of America, N.A., administrative agent, swingline lender and letter of credit issuer, and the lenders from time to time party thereto, and provides for, among other things, (i) a new incremental delayed-draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300 million (the “Term A-3 Facility”), which shall be available to draw at any time from the Effective Date until March 15, 2023 (the “Term A-3 Facility Availability Period”), and (ii) amending the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio financial covenant to be no greater than 4.25 to 1.00 during the period from the Effective Date to the last day of the second quarter of the Company’s 2024 fiscal year and stepping down to 4.00 to 1.00 thereafter and (iii) certain other modifications to the Existing Credit Agreement as further set forth in the Amendment. Upon the issuance by the Company or certain of its subsidiaries of senior notes during the availability period of the Term A-3 Facility, the commitments by the Term A-3 Lenders shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis based on the principal amount of such notes.
Borrowings under the Term A-3 Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum based on the Company’s Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio according to the pricing grid set forth below. Initially, the applicable rate shall be determined based upon Pricing Level 4. A ticking fee of a percentage per annum of the actual daily unused portion of the Term A-3 Facility during the Term A-3 Facility Availability Period shall be payable quarterly in arrears for the account of each lender under the Term A-3 Facility. Expand Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio rows and include the full description.

Pricing Level | Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio | Term SOFR Loans | Base Rate Loans | Ticking Fee
1 | < 1.25 to 1.00 | 1.375% | 0.375% | 0.175%
2 | > 1.25 to 1.00 but < 2.00 to 1.00 | 1.500% | 0.500% | 0.200%
