Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

The information provided in Item 1.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the DIP Financing (as defined below) is incorporated by reference in this Item 1.01.

Item 1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership

On June 10, 2013, Exide Technologies (the “Company” or the “Debtor”), filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Petition”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Chapter 11 Case is being administered under the caption In re Exide Technologies, Case No. 13-11482(KJC). The Debtor plan to continue to operate its businesses and manage its properties as “debtors in possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

In connection with the Chapter 11 Case, the Debtor filed motions seeking Bankruptcy Court approval of Debtor-in-Possession financing on the terms set forth in the Superiority Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement, dated as of June 10, 2013 (the “DIP Credit Agreement”), by and among Exide Technologies, a Debtor and a Debtor-in-Possession under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, as US Borrower, Exide Global Holding Netherlands C.V., as Foreign Borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent (the “DIP Financing”). The DIP Financing provides for senior secured superpriority debtor in possession financing facilities in an aggregate amount of up to $500 million, consisting of a $225 million asset based loan (“ABL”) revolving credit facility, subject to a borrowing base, and a $275 million “last out” term loan facility. Subject to satisfaction of conditions to borrowing, the entire ABL revolving credit facility and $170 million of the term loan facility will be available upon entry of the interim order and the balance of the term loan facility will be available upon entry of the final order. The proceeds of the DIP Financing will be immediately used in part to repay amounts outstanding under the pre-petition ABL revolving credit facility provided by Wells Fargo Capital Financing, LLC, as administrative agent, and a group of lenders party thereto, as to which there is approximately $160 million in borrowings and letters of credit outstanding.

The maturity date of the loans made under the DIP Credit Agreement is the earliest to occur of (i) the date occurring 16 months following the closing date, (ii) 45 days after the entry of the interim financing order if the final financing order has not been entered by the Bankruptcy Court, (iii) the effective date of the Debtor plan of reorganization and (iv) the acceleration of such loans. The revolving loans bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 3.25% and the term loans bear interest at a rate of 9.00%. The obligations of the Borrowers under the DIP Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by certain material foreign subsidiaries. In addition, the US Borrower unconditionally guarantees the obligations of the Foreign Borrower. Subject to certain exceptions, the obligations of the Borrowers and the guarantors under the DIP Credit Agreement and the other loan documents are secured by first priority liens on specified assets of the Borrowers and the foreign guarantors and 100% pledge of the equity interests of certain of the Borrowers’ direct and indirect subsidiaries. The DIP Credit Agreement requires the Borrowers to comply with financial covenants relating to minimum liquidity, maximum capital expenditures, cumulative total adjusted operating cash flow, minimum cumulative EBITDA and minimum twelve-month trailing EBITDA.

Events of default under the DIP Credit Agreement include, among others, failure to pay any principal, interest or other amount due under the applicable credit agreement, breach of specific covenants and a change of control of the Company. Upon an event of default, the requisite lenders may declare the outstanding obligations under the DIP Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable and exercise other rights and remedies provided for thereunder.

On June 10, 2013, the Company issued a press release announcing the filing of the Chapter 11 case. A copy of the Press Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On June 10, 2013, the Company issued a news release reporting the preliminary financial results of the Company for the fourth quarter and year ended March 31, 2013. A copy of that release is attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto.

2

Item 2.04 Triggering Events that Accelerate or increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement

The filing of the Bankruptcy Petitions described in Item 1.03 above constituted an event of default with respect to the following debt instruments:

• Indenture, dated as of January 25, 2011, by and among Exide Technologies and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, with respect to approximately $675 million principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest on outstanding debt securities in the form of 8.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2018;

• Indenture, dated as of March 18, 2005, by and among Exide Technologies and SunTrust Bank, as Trustee, with respect to approximately $51.9 million principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest on outstanding debt securities in the form of Floating Rate Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013; and

• Credit Agreement, dated as of January 25, 2011, by and among Exide Technologies and certain subsidiaries thereof, as US Borrowers, Exide Global Holdings Netherlands C.V., as Foreign Borrower, the lenders party thereto, Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, as Agent and Sole Lead Arranger, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, SunTrust Bank and Barclays Capital, as Syndication Agents, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as Documentation Agent and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as Joint Bookrunners, with respect to approximately $160 million principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest outstanding.

As a result of the filing of the Bankruptcy Petition, the ability of the Debtor’s creditors to seek remedies to enforce their rights under these and other agreements are stayed and creditor rights of enforcement against the Debtor are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

In May, 2013, the Company and certain holders (the “Restricted Holders”) of the Company’s 8.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 entered into a confidentiality agreement under which certain information regarding the Company was provided to the Restricted Holders in connection with negotiation of the Company’s DIP Financing. Under this confidentiality agreement the Company agreed to publicly disclose this information. As a result, the Company is providing the information filed as Exhibits 99.3, 99.4, 99.5 and 99.6 and set forth in the paragraph below.

The Company projects an initial DIP Financing need of $170 million upon approval of the DIP Financing. The Company projects a maximum DIP Financing draw of approximately $375 million in September 2013, driven largely by seasonality in the Company’s working capital cycle, and the DIP Financing draw is projected to decline to $275 million by March 2014.

The information in this item is being furnished, not filed. Accordingly, the information in this item will not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified as being incorporated by reference therein.

Exhibit 99.1

Press Release Announcing a Voluntary Chapter 11 Petition

Exide Technologies Files Voluntary Chapter 11 Petition to Restructure U.S. Operations and Strengthen Balance Sheet

• Filing Applies to U.S. Parent Only

• Global Business To Continue To Operate During Reorganization

• Restructuring Will Enable Realignment, Improvement in Business

• Commitment Secured for $500 Million in Debtor-in-Possession Financing, Solidifying Significant Liquidity for Global Operations

• Robert M. Caruso of Alvarez & Marsal appointed as CRO

Milton, Ga., June 10, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Exide Technologies, (Nasdaq: XIDE), a global leader in stored electrical solutions, announced today that it has filed a voluntary petition for reorganization pursuant to U.S. federal restructuring laws in order to facilitate the financial and operational restructuring necessary to strengthen its balance sheet and its business to position the Company for future success. The petition was filed in the District of Delaware.

Only Exide Technologies’ United States’ operations, including the GNB Industrial Division, are included in the filing. Exide Technologies’ international operations are excluded from the filing. The Company plans to continue to operate globally without interruption during the reorganization.

James R. Bolch, President and Chief Executive Officer of Exide said, “Operations both in the U.S. and in the rest of the world will continue to serve customers in a timely manner with the same quality products, and outstanding customer care as they did before the filing. All post-filing obligations to U.S. suppliers will be paid on time and within terms. We intend to pay U.S. employees as usual and do not expect any material changes to their benefits. Outside of the U.S., obligations to employees and suppliers will not be impacted by the filing.”

Exide has negotiated a $500 million debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing facility to be provided by a group of financial institutions and investors in connection with the filing. Once approved by the Court, this financing will enhance the Company’s global liquidity position with approximately $300 million in new capital, in order to allow it to pursue its restructuring goals. The proceeds of the DIP financing together with cash generated from daily operations and cash on hand will be used to fund post-petition operating expenses. Exide’s global management team will continue to manage both the U.S. and global businesses.

Mr. Bolch stated, “Our Company has been burdened by a highly leveraged balance sheet which has limited our ability to competitively invest in our businesses. Recently, our profitability has been impacted by unprecedented increases in our product costs — driven primarily by the market price of scrap lead in North America – as well as operational challenges in the U.S. and Europe which we have been unable to fully offset. After a great deal of consideration, we concluded a restructuring of our balance sheet and our operations was the best path forward for the Company.”

“Our restructuring,” he continued, “will allow us to strengthen our balance sheet and complete the operational changes that build upon the strategies that we have been pursuing. Over and above these efforts, we intend to become even more aggressive in reducing costs, taking actions with respect to underperforming business segments and to focus on the most attractive areas for future growth.”

In order to help facilitate the Company’s financial restructuring, Exide’s Board of Directors has named Robert M. Caruso as Chief Restructuring Officer. Mr. Caruso is a noted financial restructuring expert and a Managing Director of Alvarez and Marsal, a leading restructuring firm. Bolch stated, “As we move forward with Exide’s restructuring, the Board concluded that we needed to have personnel with restructuring expertise on our executive team in order to implement critical objectives most effectively. We are very fortunate to have the benefit of the expertise, experience and demonstrated talent of Bob Caruso to take on the role of Chief Restructuring Officer of Exide at this important time. He and the resources he brings from Alvarez and Marsal, will serve the Company and all of its constituencies very well as we proceed with the job of restructuring Exide for the future.”

The Company has filed a variety of customary first day motions seeking, among other things, authority to pay pre-filing wages, salary and benefits and to honor customer programs.

Exide Technologies has also set up two separate toll-free information lines: one for U.S. suppliers, 888-985-9831 and another for other interested parties, 855-291-0287. More information on Exide’s U.S. restructuring is available on the Company’s web site, www.exide.com.

Exide Technologies Reports Unaudited Preliminary Fiscal 2013 Results

Milton, Georgia – June 10, 2013 – Exide Technologies (NASDAQ: XIDE, www.exide.com), a global leader in stored electrical energy solutions, announced today its unaudited preliminary fiscal 2013 fourth quarter and full year financial results. In addition earlier today the Company filed a voluntary petition for reorganization pursuant to U.S. federal restructuring laws. The petition was filed in the District of Delaware.

The Company is currently completing its financial statement close process for deferred income taxes and other areas for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 in connection with filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K expected to be filed on June 14, 2013. Also, the estimates for net sales, Adjusted EBITDA as well as the consolidated financial statements accompanying this release are preliminary and have not been audited and could be subject to change upon completion of the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Q4 Fiscal 2013

The Company expects to report preliminary net sales of $762 million for the fourth quarter as compared to net sales of $783 million in the prior year fourth quarter. Net sales in the fiscal 2013 period were positively impacted by foreign currency translation of approximately $3 million. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, expected net sales decreased 3.1%, primarily due to lower OEM unit sales in the Company’s global transportation business and lower third party lead sales.

Fiscal 2013 fourth quarter preliminary Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $12 million as compared to $45 million in the prior year fourth quarter. The decrease is primarily due to lower third-party lead margins in the Americas, combined with higher commodity costs and manufacturing inefficiencies due to lower production and certain plant related operational issues in Europe and the Americas.

1

Full Year Fiscal 2013

Fiscal 2013 preliminary net sales are expected to be $3.0 billion as compared with $3.1 billion for the prior fiscal year period. Net sales in fiscal 2013 were negatively impacted by lead related price decreases of approximately $78 million and unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $94 million, partially offset by higher unit sales in many of the Company’s markets.

The Company expects to report fiscal 2013 preliminary Adjusted EBITDA of $104 million versus $179 million in the prior fiscal year. The decline is primarily the result of higher spent battery costs coupled with lower LME based escalator pricing, higher commodity costs, and manufacturing inefficiencies. Higher spent battery acquisition costs combined with lower third party lead margins in the Americas impacted results by approximately $58 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a key measure of its operational financial performance. This measure is a key indicator of the Company’s operational performance and excludes the impact of the Company’s restructuring actions. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income before depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock compensation, restructuring charges, impairment charges and non-cash gains or losses on asset sales. Please refer to the reconciliations of operating income to Adjusted EBITDA below.

The foregoing non-GAAP financial measure should be used in addition to, but not in isolation or as a substitute for, the analysis provided in the Company’s measures of financial performance prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure should be read only in conjunction with the Company‘s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
