Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On June 7, 2013, Neenah Paper, Inc. (the “Company”) amended its existing Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 11, 2012 (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company and certain of its subsidiaries as co-borrowers, the financial institutions signatory to the Credit Agreement as lenders (the “Lenders”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent for the Lenders by entering into a First Amendment thereto (the “First Amendment”).

 

The First Amendment, among other things, (1) allows the Company to repurchase up to $30 million of its own stock on or before December 31, 2014, with no more than $15 million of that amount to be repurchased on or before December 31, 2013, (2) modifies the Credit Agreement’s accordion feature to permit the Company, subject to certain conditions, to increase the aggregate revolving credit facility commitments by up to $75 million,  to a maximum amount of $180 million, (3) increases the Company’s allowable dividends paid to shareholders in any period of 12 consecutive months to $25 million, and (iv) makes certain definitional and administrative changes.  The maximum revolving credit facility commitment currently in effect remains unchanged, at $105 million.
