Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On August 22, 2013, Atmos Energy Corporation (the “Company”) entered into the Third Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”), which amends the Company's existing Revolving Credit Agreement dated May 2, 2011 (the “RBS Facility”), which was amended on May 31, 2011, pursuant to the First Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement and on December 7, 2012, pursuant to the Second Amendment to Revolving Credit with The Royal Bank of Scotland plc, as Administrative Agent, and an original syndicate of 14 lenders identified therein. The primary changes to the RBS Credit Facility, as reflected in the Third Amendment, were to (i) extend the termination date to a date that is five years from the date of execution of the Third Amendment and (ii) add an option to extend the term for one additional year. The RBS Credit Facility, as amended (the “Credit Facility”), will continue to be used for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. There were no other material changes to the Credit Facility as a result of the execution of the Third Amendment. With respect to the other parties to the Credit Facility, the Company has or may have had customary banking relationships based on the provision of a variety of financial services, including without limitation, cash management, investment banking, and equipment financing and leasing services, none of which are material individually or in the aggregate with respect to any individual party. A copy of the Third Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Third Amendment.
