Item 1.01. Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 25, 2015 Rentech, Inc. (the Company) entered into an amendment (the Amendment) to the Agreement for
Sale and Purchase of Biomass, dated May 1, 2013 (the Drax Agreement) between Drax Power Limited (Drax) and Rentechs wholly owned, indirect subsidiary, RTK WP Canada, ULC. The Amendment cancels all pellet
deliveries in 2014 and reduces the required volume of wood pellets to be delivered to Drax in 2015 to 240,000 tonnes. In exchange for the cancelled deliveries and reduced volume commitments, we will pay Drax a penalty of approximately
US$170,000 upon signing the Amendment, and provide price reductions totaling approximately US$.9 million on pellet shipments made to Drax in 2015. In the event such shipments are not made, the price reductions will become cash penalties payable to
Drax, in addition to other penalties that may be due under the Drax Agreement for such failed deliveries. Also, portions of the original 2015 pellet deliveries are being pushed to future years at 2015 pricing, which is expected to be lower than
pricing under the terms of the contract in those future years.
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains only a summary of certain
provisions of the Amendment and does not purport to be a complete summary of the Amendment. For further descriptions of the original document that has been amended as described above, please see the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by the Company
on August 8, 2013.
