Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 9, 2006, Metal Management, Inc. (the "Company"), certain subsidiaries of the Company specified therein, the lenders party thereto and LaSalle Bank National Association, in its capacity as agent for the lenders, entered into a Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement, which amends the Credit Agreement dated as of June 28, 2004, as amended. The purpose of this amendment was to (i) amend the definition of "Permitted Acquisitions" to include a proposed acquisition of privately held Morris Recycling, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Morris Recycling") as a permitted acquisition, thereby leaving the permissible level of funds available for other acquisitions unchanged by this proposed acquisition, (ii) increase the permissible level of funds available for any single acquisition from $20 million to $30 million, and (iii) increase the amount the Company is permitted to advance or loan from $2.5 million to $8 million.

The Company has acquired an exclusive option to acquire substantially all of the assets (which also provides for the assumption of certain liabilities) of Morris Recycling. The Company has also extended a short-term working capital loan in the amount of $5 million to Morris Recycling, which is secured by a second lien on the assets of Morris Recycling and certain other assets. Morris Recycling is a full service scrap metal recycler serving Mississippi and portions of Arkansas, Tennessee and Alabama. Through its 10 operating facilities, Morris Recycling handles approximately 240,000 tons of ferrous and 32 million pounds of nonferrous metals each year. While the Company is engaged in a diligence review of Morris Recycling’s operations, there can be no assurance that such acquisition will be consummated.
