Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Credit Agreement

On October 11, 2022, Olin Corporation (the “Registrant”) completed a refinancing of Registrant’s senior unsecured Credit Agreement, dated as of July 16, 2019 (as amended, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), by entering into a new senior unsecured credit agreement (the “Replacement Credit Agreement”), with the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent.

The Replacement Credit Agreement provides the Registrant with a senior unsecured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $350,000,000 (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a senior unsecured revolving credit facility with aggregate commitments in an amount equal to $1,200,000,000 (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Replacement Credit Facilities”).

The Registrant is the sole borrower under the Replacement Credit Facilities. The Registrant is permitted to add any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries as an additional borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility. The obligations of any additional borrowers under the Revolving Credit Facility will be joint and several with the Registrant.

The Replacement Credit Facilities generally provide for borrowings in multiple currencies at interest rates equal to (i) SOFR, SARON, CDOR Rate or EURIBOR, plus, in each case, a margin ranging from 1.375% to 1.875% or (ii) the base rate, plus a margin ranging from 0.375% to 0.875%, in all cases, as determined in accordance with the Replacement Credit Agreement. In each case, the applicable margin is based on the Registrant’s leverage ratio. The Term Loan Facility will require principal amortization payments that will be payable in quarterly installments beginning with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023 and ending with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2024, at a rate of 0.625% per quarter of the outstanding principal amount thereof, and thereafter, increasing to 1.250% per quarter of the outstanding principal amount thereof.

The Term Loan Facility was fully drawn on the closing date. The proceeds of the Term Loan Facility will be used to refinance the loans and commitments outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement. Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility will be available at any time prior to the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to customary conditions. The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Facility will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes and to refinance the loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement. The Replacement Credit Facilities are scheduled to mature on October 11, 2027.

The Replacement Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and affirmative and negative covenants. The Replacement Credit Facilities include financial maintenance covenants that require the Registrant to (i) maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter beginning with the fiscal quarter ending on December 31, 2022 and (ii) maintain a consolidated net leverage ratio of no more than 3.75 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter beginning with the fiscal quarter ending on December 31, 2022; provided that, in connection with any material acquisition, the Registrant may elect (no more than two times) to increase the consolidated net leverage ratio to 4.25 to 1.00 for the four quarter period following such acquisition.

The obligations of the Registrant under the Replacement Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of customary events of default, including nonpayment of principal or interest, breaches of covenants, cross-defaults to other material debt and specified bankruptcy events.

The foregoing description of the Replacement Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Replacement Credit Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and which is incorporated by reference herein.

Twelfth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit and Funding Agreement

On October 11, 2022, the Registrant executed a Twelfth Amendment (the “Twelfth Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit and Funding Agreement among the Registrant, the lenders party thereto, and PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, related to the Industrial Development Authority of Washington County Series 2010A bonds, The Industrial Development Authority of Washington County Series 2010B bonds, The Mississippi Business Finance Corporation Series 2010 bonds and The Industrial Development Board of the County of Bradley and the City of Cleveland, Tennessee Series 2010 bonds to, among other things, replace the LIBOR provisions with SOFR provisions and amend certain covenants to be consistent with the covenants contained in the Replacement Credit Agreement described in Item 1.01.

The foregoing description of the Twelfth Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Twelfth Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and which is incorporated by reference herein.

Ninth Amendment to the Receivables Financing Agreement

On October 11, 2022, the Registrant executed Amendment No. 9 (the “Ninth Amendment”) to Receivables Financing Agreement among the Registrant, as servicer, Olin Finance Company, LLC, as borrower (the “Borrower”), PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, PNC Capital Markets LLC, as structuring agent, and the Lender parties thereto. Among other things, the Ninth Amendment increases the facility limit to $425,000,000, replaces the LIBOR provisions with SOFR provisions and extends the scheduled termination date of the Receivables Financing Agreement to October 14, 2025.

The foregoing description of the Ninth Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Ninth Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and which is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 11, 2022, in connection with the effectiveness of the Replacement Credit Agreement, the Registrant prepaid in full the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, under the Existing Credit Agreement and, in connection with such prepayment, the Existing Credit Agreement, including all commitments thereunder, was terminated.
