Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 19, 2016, Vectrus, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment no. 1 to its credit agreement (the “Amendment”) by and among the Company, Vectrus Systems Corporation, as the Borrower (“VSC”), the Lenders and Issuing Banks party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (“JPMCB”). The Amendment primarily modified certain financial and negative covenants. In particular, the Amendment:

• Modifies the total leverage ratio covenant to provide that, commencing January 1, 2016, the Company shall not permit the total leverage ratio during any consecutive four fiscal quarter periods to be greater than (i) 3.25 to 1 during any such period ending on or before December 31, 2016, (ii) 3.0 to 1 during any such period from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017 and (iii) 2.75 to 1 thereafter;

• Increases the dollar amount of permitted intercompany loans, permitted guarantees and permitted investments in restricted subsidiaries that are not loan parties from $10,000,000 to $25,000,000;

• Increases the dollar amount of permitted restricted payments not otherwise permitted under other categories of permitted restricted payments from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000, subject to a new condition relating to the total leverage ratio and compliance with the interest expense coverage ratio and total leverage ratio covenants, all such ratios to be calculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to any such restricted payments;

• Adds a new category of permitted investments, loans and advances in joint ventures or similar entities that are not subsidiaries up to $25,000,000, subject to certain conditions;

• Modifies the mandatory prepayment of excess cash flow, with respect to any fiscal year of the Company, to be (a) 50% if the total leverage ratio as of the last day of such fiscal year is greater than 2.50 to 1.00, (b) 25% if the total leverage ratio as of the last day of such fiscal year is greater than 2.00 to 1.00 but less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00, and (c) 0% if the total leverage ratio as of the last day of such fiscal year is less than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00; and

• Modifies the definition of “Available Amount” to add a proviso that any increase in such amount shall not be used to make any restricted payment unless, concurrently with such payment, VSC prepays the term borrowings in an aggregate principal amount equal to the restricted payment.

In connection with entering into the Amendment, VSC paid the lenders an amendment fee of $221,092.32. In addition, the Company paid JPMCB an arrangement fee of $225,000.
