ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On June 26, 2018, DXP Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that on June 25, 2018 the Company successfully repriced its $248.8 million Term Loan B.

Under the amended term loan, the interest rate has been reduced by 75 basis points to LIBOR + 4.75 percent (the LIBOR floor of 1.00 percent is unchanged), from LIBOR + 5.50 percent, which is expected to generate annualized interest expense savings of approximately $1.9 million based on the current principal balance outstanding.  

The Company expects full year 2018 interest expense to be favorably impacted by approximately $0.93 million, reflecting the benefit of a lower interest rate.  This will be offset by one-time transaction fees and incremental and accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs.
