Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 2, 2021, Belden Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and certain of its U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries entered into an Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, as the U.S. borrower, certain non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company located in Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, as foreign borrowers, certain other U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company party thereto as guarantors, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates the Company’s prior credit agreement entered into on May 16, 2017 (the “Prior Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement the lenders will continue to provide to the Company and the foreign borrowers a $300.0 million multicurrency asset-based revolving credit facility upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Facility”).

The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, among other things:

a.Extends the maturity date of the Credit Facility until June 2, 2026.

b.Reduces the commitments from $400.0 million to $300.00 million.

The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto. The representations and warranties contained in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of specific dates; were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement; and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations and warranties or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures by the Company. The schedules and exhibits to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are not included in Exhibit 10.1, but are available upon request to the Company’s Corporate Secretary.
