Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 8 , 2011, Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (the "Company") entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with a syndicate of lending banks, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Syndication Agent, and HSBC Bank USA, NA, RBC Capital Markets, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Fifth Third Bank, DNB Nor Bank ASA and TD Bank, N.A., as Co-Documentation Agents.

The amendment and restatement increases the size of the Company’s revolving credit facility from $450 million to $600 million by reallocating the term loan component of the credit facility to the revolving credit facility, eliminates the term loan component of the facility and allows the Company to further increase the size of the revolving credit facility by an aggregate of $200 million with additional commitments. The amendment and restatement extends the credit facility’s maturity date from August 10, 2015 to June 8, 2016 and decreases the applicable rates used for borrowings and the annual commitment fee.

Borrowings under the amendment and restatement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to (i) the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the amendment and restatement, which definition has not changed) in effect from time to time plus the applicable rate (ranging from 1.00% to 1.75%) or (ii) the highest of (x) the weighted average overnight Federal funds rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 0.5%, (y) the prime lending rate of Bank of America, N.A. or (z) the one-month Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%. The applicable rates are based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of (a) consolidated funded indebtedness less cash in excess of $40 million that is not subject to any restriction of the use or investment thereof to (b) consolidated EBITDA) at the time of the applicable borrowing.

The Company will also pay an annual commitment fee (ranging from 0.15% to 0.3%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio) on the daily amount by which the revolving credit facility exceeds the outstanding loans and letters of credit under the credit facility.

The press release issued by the Company announcing its entering into the amendment and restatement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
