Item 1.01
Entry Into Material Definitive Agreement

On August 3, 2015, Twin Disc, Incorporated (“Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Twin Disc International, S.P.R.L., amended their multi-currency, revolving Credit Agreement (the “Wells Fargo Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”).  On the same date, the Company also amended its Amended and Restated Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement (the “Prudential Agreement”) with the following entities (collectively, “Prudential”): (a) Prudential Investment Management, Inc., (b) The Prudential Insurance Company of America, (c) Pruco Life Insurance Company, (d) Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey, (e) Security Benefit Life Insurance Company, Inc., (f) Prudential Annuities Life Assurance Corporation, and (g) Mutual of Omaha Insurance Company.  The purpose of each amendment was to revise the definition of EBITDA for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on and including June 30, 2015 to and including March 25, 2016 to add $3,300,000, reflective of the restructuring charge taken by the Company in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015.  Under both the Wells Fargo Agreement and the Prudential Agreement, the Company is required to have a four-quarter EBITDA of at least $11,000,000, and both Wells Fargo and Prudential have agreed to add the $3,300,000 amount to the Company’s four-quarter EBITDA for purposes of this covenant.

A copy of the amendment to the Wells Fargo Agreement is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.  A copy of the amendment to the Prudential Agreement is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.  The above descriptions of the amendments to the Wells Fargo Agreement and the Prudential Agreement are qualified in their entirely by reference to Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively.
