On August 22, 2023, Sensata Technologies, Inc. (the “Borrower”) and certain other indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Sensata Technologies Holding plc, including Sensata Technologies Intermediate Holding B.V. (the “Parent”) and Sensata Technologies B.V. (“STBV”), and certain subsidiaries of STBV, entered into an amendment (the “Credit Facility Amendment”) to (i) the Credit Agreement, dated as of May 12, 2011 (as amended, supplemented, waived, or otherwise modified prior to the Credit Facility Amendment, the “Credit Agreement,” and as further amended pursuant to the Credit Facility Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”; unless defined herein, capitalized terms have the same meanings as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), among the Borrower, the Parent, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as Administrative Agent, the lenders party thereto, and certain other parties, and (ii) the Foreign Guaranty, dated as of May 12, 2011 (as amended, supplemented, waived, or otherwise modified prior to the Credit Facility Amendment), made by certain affiliates of the Borrower as the Foreign Guarantors in favor of the Secured Parties as defined in the Credit Agreement.
Pursuant to the Credit Facility Amendment, among other changes to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents provided for therein, (i) the Foreign Guarantors (excluding STBV) (the “Specified Foreign Guarantors”) were released from all of their remaining obligations as guarantors and securing parties under the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, subject to an obligation to reinstate the guaranty and collateral security of any Specified Foreign Guarantor with respect to the revolving credit facility obligations thereunder if new term loans are obtained under the Amended Credit Agreement and such Specified Foreign Guarantor provides a guaranty or collateral security for such new term loans, and (ii) certain of the operational and restrictive covenants and other terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement were modified to provide the Borrower and its affiliates increased flexibility and permissions thereunder.
In connection with the closing of the Credit Facility Amendment, the Specified Foreign Guarantors were released from their guaranty obligations with respect to STBV’s 5.625% senior notes due 2024, 5.000% senior notes due 2025, 4.000% senior notes due 2029 and 5.875% senior notes due 2030 and with respect to the Borrower’s 4.375% senior notes due 2030 and 3.750% senior notes due 2031, in each case in accordance with the terms of the relevant indenture pursuant to which such senior notes were issued.
