Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 30, 2015, Hasbro, Inc.

(“Bank of America”), as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender, L/C Issuer and a Lender, and (ii) the other Lenders party thereto.

 

The Amended Agreement provided for a $700 million revolving credit facility through March 30, 2020.

 

Section 2.16 of the Amended Agreement sets forth a procedure pursuant to which the Company can request that the Lenders under the Amended Agreement increase the committed facility available to the Company from $700 million to $1 billion in aggregate.  Pursuant to Section 2.16 the Company has proposed to increase the aggregate size of the committed facility to $1 billion. The Lenders party to the Increase Supplement, dated August 24, 2017 (the “Increase Supplement”), a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, were invited by the Company to participate, and agreed to participate, in the increase in the aggregate borrowing commitment to $1 billion. 

 

Effective as of August 24, 2017 the Amended Agreement now provides for a $1 billion committed revolving credit facility through March 30, 2020. The current Lenders under the Amended Agreement, and their respective commitments, are set forth in the Increase Supplement filed with this report.
