As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by GT Advanced Technologies Inc. (the “Company”), on October 6, 2014, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Hampshire (the “Bankruptcy Court”) for reorganization relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code. The Debtors’ Chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) are being jointly administered under the caption In re GT Advanced Technologies Inc., et al, Case No. 14-11916 (HJB). Further information about the bankruptcy process is available at the Claims Agent’s website at www.kccllc.net/gtat.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 26, 2016, the Company, together with certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors (the “Guarantors”), the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “DIP Lenders”) and Cantor Fitzgerald Securities, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the DIP Lenders, entered into the third amendment to the Senior Secured Superpriority Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement, dated July 27, 2015 (such amendment, the “Third DIP Facility Amendment”). The Third DIP Facility Amendment provides for, among other things, the extension from January 22, 2016 to February 1, 2016 of the date by which the Company has agreed to obtain an order from the Bankruptcy Court approving the disclosure statement in connection with the Debtors’ plan of reorganization.

The foregoing description of the Third DIP Facility Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Third DIP Facility Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On January 27, 2016, the Debtors filed an Amended Disclosure Statement for Debtors’ Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Amended Disclosure Statement”), as well as an Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Amended Plan”). The Amended Disclosure Statement and the Amended Plan amend the Disclosure Statement for Debtors’ Joint Plan of Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Disclosure Statement”) and the Joint Plan of Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Plan”) that were filed with, and are more particularly described in, Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 28, 2015.

Among other things, the Amended Disclosure Statement modifies the Disclosure Statement by providing additional disclosure regarding the Debtors’ hypothetical liquidation analysis and the Debtors’ monthly operating reports filed during the Chapter 11 Cases. The Amended Plan modifies, among other things, the release language contained in the Plan.

The foregoing descriptions of the Amended Disclosure Statement Amendment and the Amended Plan do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Amended Disclosure Statement and the Amended Plan, which are filed as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 hereto, respectively.
