Item 1.01
 
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 25, 2016 The KEYW Holding Corporation (“KEYW”) as a guarantor, entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) by and among itself, The KEYW Corporation, as the borrower (the “Borrower”), the subsidiary guarantors of the Borrower, the lenders (the “Lenders”) identified in the Credit Agreement, dated as of July 21, 2014 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) and Royal Bank of Canada, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”).

The Amendment amends the Credit Agreement to permanently reduce the aggregate revolving commitments to $20.0 million. The Amendment also extends the accommodation period with respect to certain financial covenants from March 31, 2016 to (but excluding) the date on which the Borrower delivers KEYW’s financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2016 (the “Accommodation Period”), and, solely during the Accommodation Period, raises the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to 4.50% per annum in respect of Eurodollar Rate Loans and 3.50% per annum in respect of Base Rate Loans (each as defined in the Credit Agreement). Following the Accommodation Period, the Amendment reduces the commitment fee applicable to unused revolver amounts to 0.50%.

The Amendment provides that, solely with respect to the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2015, January 2016 cost savings of up to $2.0 million, without duplication of any run-rate cost savings, shall be included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

The Amendment also amends the Credit Agreement to adjust the minimum cash interest coverage charge ratio as of the quarter ended December 31, 2015 to 2.25:1.00 and as of the quarter ending March 31, 2016 to 3.25:1.00.

A copy of the Amendment is attached to this current report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated by reference as though it were fully set forth herein. The foregoing summary description of the Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby is not intended to be complete, and it is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Credit Agreement, as amended by the Amendment.
