Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 12, 2022, Modine Manufacturing Company (the “Company”) entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement among the Company, the initial subsidiary borrower party thereto, the institutions party thereto as lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the administrative agent and the collateral agent (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), amending and restating its existing Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Existing Credit Agreement”) previously scheduled to mature on June 28, 2024.  The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for (i) a senior secured revolving credit facility that matures on October 12, 2027 with an initial maximum aggregate amount of availability of $275 million and (ii) senior secured $175 million and €40 million term loan facilities, each payable in quarterly principal installments equal to 1.25% of the original principal amount of the respective term loan facility commencing March 31, 2023 with a balloon payment of the entire remaining outstanding principal balance due at maturity on October 12, 2027.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain compliance with various covenants, including a net leverage covenant, which generally limits the ratio of (i) the Company’s consolidated total debt, subject to certain adjustments, on the last day of any fiscal quarter to (ii) the Company’s consolidated net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, subject to certain adjustments (“EBITDA”), for the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended, to 3.25 to 1.00, and an interest expense coverage ratio, which requires the ratio of the Company’s EBITDA for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters to the Company’s consolidated interest expense paid in cash for the same period to equal at least 3.00 to 1.00. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may elect (but not more than three times during any five consecutive year term of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) to temporarily increase the maximum permitted net leverage ratio in connection with certain material acquisitions to up to 3.75 to 1.00. The Existing Credit Agreement also included a 3.25 to 1.00 maximum net leverage ratio and a 3.00 to 1.00 minimum interest expense coverage ratio, subject to the Company’s right to temporarily increase the maximum permitted net leverage ratio to up to 3.75 to 1.00 in connection with certain material acquisitions.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. If an event of default under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement occurs and is continuing, then the administrative agent may with the consent of the lenders holding a majority of the outstanding unused commitments and credit exposure (the “Required Lenders”), and shall at the request of the Required Lenders, declare any outstanding obligations immediately due and payable. In addition, the amount of any outstanding obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement will become immediately due and payable in the event that the Company or any of certain specified subsidiaries thereof becomes the subject of voluntary or involuntary proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or becomes unable to pay its debts generally as they become due.

The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by reference.  In the ordinary course of business, certain of the lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and their affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, investment banking, commercial banking, cash management, foreign exchange or other financial services to the Company and/or one or more of its subsidiaries for which they have received, and may in the future receive, compensation.
