Erie Indemnity Company (the “Company”) previously entered into a Credit Agreement dated November 3, 2011 (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and PNC Bank, N.A., as Syndication Agent, (the “Lenders”). The Credit Agreement was disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 8, 2011. On October 25, 2013, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with the Lenders. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 30, 2013. On October 28, 2015, the Company executed a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with the Lenders which was disclosed in a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on October 29, 2015. On November 7, 2016, the Company executed a Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with the Lenders which was disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 14, 2016.
