Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On March 4, 2021, Babcock and Wilcox Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent to the lenders under the Amended Credit Agreement, entered into Amendment No. 3 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Amended Credit Agreement amends the terms of the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to, among other matters, (i) permit the prepayment of certain term loans, (ii) reduce the revolving credit commitments to $130 million and removing the ability to obtain revolving loans under the credit agreement, and (iii) amend certain covenants and conditions to the extension of credit.

The foregoing description of the material terms of the Amended Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Credit Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.02               Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On March 9, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing financial results for the year ended December 31, 2020. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1, and the information contained in Exhibit 99.1 is incorporated herein by reference.

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

As a result of the Amended Credit Agreement, as described in Item 1.01 herein, the Company is no longer required to maintain a Chief Implementation Officer pursuant to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Accordingly, on March 4, 2021, Robert M. Caruso ceased to serve as the Company’s Chief Implementation Officer, but remains with the Company under the professional services agreement between the Company and Alvarez & Marshal North America, LLC, as described in our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 5, 2020. Because the Company is no longer required to maintain a Chief Implementation Officer, the Company has not appointed, and does not expect to appoint, a replacement Chief Implementation Officer.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On March 9, 2021, the Company posted a Company Overview presentation on the investor relations section of its website at babcock.com. A copy of the presentation is attached as Exhibit 99.2, and the information contained in Exhibit 99.2 is incorporated herein by reference.

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.2, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
