Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 10, 2019, Baker Hughes, a GE company, LLC (“BHGE
LLC”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative
Agent, and certain lenders party thereto for the provision of a revolving credit facility.
Subject to certain permitted extensions, the New Credit Agreement
has a term of five years and provides for an aggregate principal amount of $3.0 billion of loans thereunder.
The revolving loans will bear interest at a rate per annum based
upon, depending on the type of loan, the Eurodollar rate or the alternative base rate, plus in each case, a ratings-based margin.
The unpaid principal amount of each loan matures on December
10, 2024, and accrued interest on each loan is payable in arrears on each applicable interest payment date.
The New Credit Agreement contains (i) certain customary representations
and warranties, (ii) certain customary affirmative covenants, (iii) certain customary negative covenants and (iv) certain customary
events of default, including among other things, cross-acceleration to certain indebtedness, and certain events of bankruptcy.
If such an event of default occurs, the lenders under the New Credit Agreement would be entitled to accelerate amounts due under
the New Credit Agreement.
The above summary of the terms of the New Credit Agreement is
not a complete description thereof and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of such agreement which is filed as Exhibit
10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 10, 2019, in connection with BHGE LLC’s entry
into the New Credit Agreement, BHGE LLC terminated its existing five-year committed $3.0 billion revolving credit agreement dated
as of July 3, 2017, among BHGE LLC, certain lenders party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. No borrowings
were outstanding under the 2017 Credit Agreement as of the termination date.
