ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On July 14, 2020, Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 3, 2020, among the Company, a syndicate of lending banks, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, Citibank N.A., Morgan Stanley MUFG Loan Partners, LLC and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as Co-Syndication Agents, and PNC Bank, N.A., Bank of Nova Scotia, Bank of the West, BBVA USA, Capital One, National Association, Citizens Bank, N.A., DNB Capital LLC, Santander Bank, N.A., T.D. Bank, N.A. and Truist Bank, as Co-Documentation Agents (as amended, restated, modified and supplemented from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”).

In addition to administrative changes, the amendment (i) temporarily increases the Company’s maximum consolidated total leverage ratio from 5.0 to 5.5 for the four financial quarters beginning July 1, 2020 and ending June 30, 2021, (ii) temporarily establishes the applicable rate of 2.250% under the Credit Agreement in the event that the Company has a consolidated total leverage ratio in the range of 5.0 to 5.5 between July 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021, while the applicable rates remain unchanged when the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio is less than 5.0, (iii) temporarily requires that the Company comply with a consolidated total leverage ratio of less than 5.0, rather than the new temporary maximum consolidated total leverage ratio range from 5.0 to 5.5, in order to conduct a permitted acquisition through June 30, 2021, and (iv) temporarily restricts the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to repurchase outstanding equity interests unless the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio is less than 5.0 through June 30, 2021.

The Company is not now, nor does it anticipate in the next twelve months, exceeding the consolidated total leverage ratio as it existed prior to the amendment. The Company entered into the amendment to take advantage of favorable credit market conditions for the Company and to increase financial flexibility in light of the unprecedented impact and uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy. The amendment does not increase the Company’s total indebtedness.

A copy of the Amendment is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item 1.01. The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment and the Credit Agreement.
