Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 25, 2024 (the “Credit Facility Closing Date”), Helios Technologies, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Helios” or the “Company”), and certain of its subsidiaries party thereto as guarantors entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC Bank”), as administrative agent, and the various lenders party thereto, which amends, restates and supersedes the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of October 28, 2020 (as amended, restated, modified or supplemented). The Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides (i) a revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) in the aggregate principal amount of $500 million as of the Credit Facility Closing Date and (ii) a five-year term loan facility (“Term Loan Facility”) in the aggregate principal amount of $300 million that will be funded in a single drawing on the Credit Facility Closing Date, with the option to increase the revolver or incur one or more additional term loans by a maximum of $400 million, subject to new or existing lenders agreeing to participate in the increase and other customary conditions. The total commitments under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are not to exceed $1.2 billion.

Scheduled principal payments under the Term Loan Facility are payable in quarterly installments beginning on September 28, 2024 and continuing on the last day of each following fiscal quarter, beginning at $3.75 million before increasing to $5.6 million in June 2026 and $7.5 million in June 2028. All remaining principal and unpaid accrued interest are due on the Term Loan Facility maturity date, which is June 25, 2029.

Pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, Helios can select an interest rate for its Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility from the following options:

The obligations under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. The obligations under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the guarantors.

The Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a consolidated total net leverage ratio not to exceed 3.75 to 1.00, calculated as of the end of each fiscal quarter for the four fiscal quarters then ended. The maximum permitted total net leverage ratio is temporarily increased by 0.50 to 1.00 at the closing of a material permitted acquisition and for the following twelve months. The Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of no less than 3.00 to 1.00, calculated as of the end of each fiscal quarter for the four fiscal quarters then ended.

The foregoing description of the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, the text of the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
