Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 21, 2023, Baker Hughes Holdings LLC (“BHH LLC”), as borrower, and Baker Hughes Company (“BHC”), as parent guarantor, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Administrative Agent”), as administrative agent, and certain lenders party thereto for the provision of a revolving credit facility.

BHC fully guaranteed the obligations under the New Credit agreement.

Subject to certain permitted extensions, the New Credit Agreement has a term of five years and provides for an aggregate principal amount of $3.0 billion of loans thereunder.

The revolving loans will bear interest at a rate per annum based upon, depending on the type of loan, the Term SOFR rate or the alternative base rate, plus in each case, a ratings-based margin.

The unpaid principal amount of each loan matures on November 21, 2028, and accrued interest on each loan is payable in arrears on each applicable interest payment date.

The New Credit Agreement contains (i) certain representations and warranties, (ii) certain affirmative covenants, (iii) certain negative covenants and (iv) certain events of default, including among other things, cross-acceleration to certain indebtedness, and certain events of bankruptcy in each case, what BHH and BHC consider customary. If such an event of default occurs, the lenders under the New Credit Agreement would be entitled to accelerate amounts due under the New Credit Agreement.

The above summary of the terms of the New Credit Agreement is not a complete description thereof and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of such agreement which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 21, 2023, in connection with BHH LLC’s entry into the New Credit Agreement, BHH LLC terminated its existing five-year committed $3.0 billion revolving credit agreement dated as of December 10, 2019 (the “2019 Credit Agreement”), among BHH LLC, certain lenders party thereto, and the Administrative Agent. No borrowings were outstanding under the 2019 Credit Agreement as of the termination date.
