Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 11, 2012, HEICO Corporation (the “Company”) entered into two amendments to its $670 million Revolving Credit Facility (“Credit Facility”) with several banks and other financial institutions from time to time party hereto (collectively, the “Lenders”) and SunTrust Bank, as Administrative Agent.  Pursuant to the First Amendment to the Credit Facility (“First Amendment”), the maturity date of the Credit Facility was extended by one year to December 14, 2017.  Pursuant to the Second Amendment to the Credit Facility (“Second Amendment”), certain covenants contained within the Credit Facility were amended to accommodate the payment of a one-time special and extraordinary cash dividend of $2.14 per share (the “Special Dividend”) on both classes of the Company's stock to be paid on or prior to December 31, 2012.  Specifically, the definition of Consolidated Fixed Charges, as such term is defined in the Credit Facility, was amended to exclude the Special Dividend for purposes of calculating the Credit Facility's financial covenant regarding the maintenance of a fixed charge coverage ratio.  Additionally, the Second Amendment amends the Credit Facility's financial covenant regarding restricted payments to exclude $1.00 per share of the Special Dividend (not to exceed $54 million in aggregate).

The description of the First Amendment and Second Amendment, as set forth in this Item 1.01, is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of such amendments filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this report on Form 8-K, which are incorporated by reference.
