Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On April 19, 2013, Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (the “Corporation”) formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Martin Marietta Funding LLC (“Funding”), in connection with establishing a $150,000,000 one-year trade receivables securitization facility (the “AR Credit Facility”) with SunTrust Bank (“SunTrust”) and other lenders that may become a party to the facility from time to time. The AR Credit Facility may be extended by agreement of the Corporation, Funding, SunTrust, and the other lenders, if any.

The AR Credit Facility is backed by trade receivables originated by the Corporation or by certain of its subsidiaries and acquired by the Corporation, which the Corporation then sells or contributes to Funding. Funding’s borrowings bear interest at one-month LIBOR plus 0.60%, subject to change in the event that this rate no longer reflects the lender’s cost of lending. Funding has the right to increase the amount of the facility by up to an additional $100,000,000 in increments of no less than $25,000,000, subject to receipt of lender commitments for the increased amount.

The AR Credit Facility includes cross-default provisions related to the Corporation’s $350,000,000 revolving credit agreement and $250,000,000 term loan.

Certain agreements relating to the AR Credit Facility are filed as exhibits hereto and are incorporated herein by reference, and the description of the AR Credit Facility contained herein is qualified in its entirety by the terms of these agreements.
