Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 4, 2021, Inotiv, Inc. (the "Company" or "Inotiv") entered into a Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Amendment"), which amended the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement between the Company and First Internet Bank of Indiana (the "Lender"), as amended (the "Credit Agreement"). Pursuant to the Amendment, the Lender consented to the acquisition by the Company of Plato BioPharma, Inc. (“Plato”) by merger of Plato with a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Plato Acquisition”) and the subsequent merger of the surviving corporation of that merger with another wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In addition, the Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to (i) add the promissory notes to be issued to former Plato shareholders in the Plato Acquisition as permitted indebtedness, which notes will be issued by the surviving company, guaranteed by the Company and subordinated in favor of the Lender, and (ii) add references to the Plato Acquisition to certain provisions of the Credit Agreement relating to subordination agreements, representations and warranties, and certain covenants to permit the Plato Acquisition to occur. The Amendment includes agreements by the Company to obtain certain landlord waivers within 30 days of the closing of the Plato Acquisition and to deliver to the Lender signed subordination agreements.

The description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
