Sensata Technologies Holding N.V. Announces Amendments to Credit Agreement and Expansion of Term Loan Facility

ALMELO, Netherlands, December 9, 2013 -- Sensata Technologies B.V., an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Sensata Technologies Holding N.V. ("Sensata") (NYSE: ST), Sensata Technologies Finance Company, LLC, and Sensata Technologies Intermediate Holding B.V. announced today that they will amend (the "Amendment") their Credit Agreement dated as of May 12, 2011, as amended on December 6, 2012 (the "Original Credit Agreement"). The Original Credit Agreement provides Sensata with a term loan facility and a revolving credit facility.

Pursuant to the Amendment, Sensata has agreed to a 25 bps reduction to applicable rates with respect to its term loan facility for both “base rate loans” and “eurodollar rate loans” and a 25 bps reduction to the “eurodollar rate” floor. Sensata has also agreed to an expansion of the term loan facility of $100 million, to a total of approximately $475 million outstanding. Sensata expects to use the additional funds from the expanded term loan facility for general corporate purposes. In addition, Sensata has agreed to an extension of the term loan facility maturity date until May 12, 2019 and certain other administrative changes to the Original Credit Agreement. The Amendment is expected to become effective on or about December 11, 2013.
