Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amendment to Term Loan Agreement

On November 9, 2018, PolyOne Corporation, an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), and certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into the Amendment Agreement No. 6 (the “Amendment Agreement”) with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and the lenders party thereto, to amend the Credit Agreement, dated as of November 12, 2015 (as amended, the “Term Loan Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Administrative Agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Amendment Agreement amended the Term Loan Agreement to, among other things, create a new tranche of term loans (the “Term B-5 Loans”), the proceeds of which were used to repay the outstanding term loans for the purpose of extending the maturity date of such outstanding term loans until January 30, 2026, and modify certain negative covenants.

The Term B-5 Loans will bear interest, at the Company’s election, at either of the following rates (a) the sum of the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) plus 175 basis points, or (b) the sum of the Base Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) plus 75 basis points, the Eurodollar Rate and the Base Rate each being subject to a floor of 0 basis points.

Certain lenders and agents that are parties to the Amendment Agreement have in the past performed, and may in the future from time to time perform, investment banking, financial advisory, lending or commercial banking services for the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, for which they have received, and may in the future receive, customary compensation and reimbursement of expenses.

The above description of the material terms and conditions of the Amendment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.
