ITEM 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement .
On May 2, 2008, ICO, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 4 to Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 4”) with KeyBank, National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Lenders”) amending our Credit Agreement with the Lenders dated as of October 27, 2006, as previously amended by Amendment No. 1 and Waiver to Credit Agreement, dated April 25, 2007; Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement, dated June 25, 2007; and Amendment No. 3 and Waiver to Credit Agreement, dated October 1, 2007 (the “Credit Agreement”).

Prior to Amendment No. 4, the Credit Agreement provided a five-year $45,000,000 credit facility (“Credit Facility”), consisting of a five-year $30,000,000 revolving credit facility (“Revolver”) and a five-year $15,000,000 term loan.  As a result of Amendment No. 4, the Revolver portion of the Credit Facility is increased by $5,000,000 to $35,000,000.  Amendment No. 4 also amends the Credit Agreement by, among other things, extending the term of the Credit Agreement by one year to October 27, 2012, modifying the definition of “material foreign indebtedness” from $5,000,000 to $7,500,000 and increasing the “swing line facility” from $1,500,000 to $2,500,000 (all as more fully described in Exhibit 10.1 hereto).

The foregoing description of Amendment No. 4 is qualified entirely by reference to the full text of Amendment No. 4, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

The aforementioned Amendment No. 1 and Waiver to Credit Agreement, dated April 25, 2007, was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 26, 2007.

The aforementioned Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement, dated June 25, 2007, was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 29, 2007.

The aforementioned Amendment No. 3 and Waiver to Credit Agreement, dated October 1, 2007 (“Amendment No. 3”), which the Company does not believe to be material, amended the Credit Agreement to allow certain indebtedness in the form of a guarantee by the Company to a supplier, and is also filed herewith and described herein for the sake of completeness.  The foregoing description of Amendment No. 3 is qualified entirely by reference to the text of Amendment No. 3, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
