On June 8, 2018, Integer Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 4 (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 27, 2015, by and among Greatbatch Ltd., as borrower, the Company, as parent, Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, as administrative agent, and the Lenders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”). The Fourth Amendment amends the terms of the Credit Agreement to permit the previously announced sale of the Company’s Advanced Surgical and Orthopedic (“AS&O”) product lines and provides that the net cash proceeds of the AS&O sale will be applied first, to redeem all of the Company’s outstanding 9.125% Senior Notes due 2023, second to repay the outstanding balance of the Company’s revolving credit loans under the Credit Agreement, without a corresponding permanent reduction of the revolving credit commitment thereunder, and third, to the extent of any remaining net cash proceeds, to prepay outstanding Term B loans under the Credit Agreement. The Fourth Amendment also amends the definition of “Adjusted EBITDA” in the Credit Agreement to permit adjustments consisting of certain non-recurring actual expenses in connection with the AS&O sale.

This description of the Fourth Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Fourth Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by this reference.
