Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement

On May 25, 2023 (the “Amendment Closing Date”), Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc. (“Hyster-Yale”), its wholly owned subsidiaries, Bolzoni Auramo, Inc, Hyster-Yale Group, Inc., Hyster-Yale Nederland B.V. and Hyster-Yale UK Limited (collectively, the “Borrowers”), and certain subsidiaries of Hyster-Yale, each acting as guarantors (collectively, the “Company”), entered into a First Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Loan, Security and Guaranty Agreement (the “Amendment”) with certain financial institutions as lenders and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and security trustee, for its revolving credit facility (the “Facility”). As a result of the Amendment, among other items, (i) a new tranche of revolving loans with aggregate commitments of $25.0 million (the “FILO Commitments”) was established under the Facility and (ii) the benchmark interest rate for U.S. dollar-denominated borrowings under the Facility changed from LIBOR to Term SOFR, each as defined in the Facility.

The FILO Commitments will terminate on May 1, 2024 unless otherwise terminated prior to such date by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Facility. Commencing December 1, 2023, the FILO Commitments will amortize on a monthly basis in the amount of $4,166,667 per month. Loans under the FILO Commitments (“FILO Loans”) will bear interest at a floating rate, which can be a base rate or Term SOFR, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margins for FILO Loans are 2.25% for base rate loans and 3.25% for Term SOFR loans. On the Amendment Closing Date, existing U.S. Loans (as defined in the Facility) were reallocated to the FILO Commitment. As a result of such reallocation, the FILO Commitment was fully utilized as of the Amendment Closing Date.

After giving effect to the Amendment, the Facility consists of a domestic revolving credit facility in the amount of $210.0 million, a foreign revolving credit facility in the amount of $90.0 million and the FILO Commitments in the amount of $25.0 million.

Certain of the banks and financial institutions that are parties to the Facility and their respective affiliates have in the past provided, are currently providing and in the future may continue to provide investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services to Hyster-Yale and its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business for which they have received and will receive customary compensation. In the ordinary course of business, such banks and financial institutions and their respective affiliates may participate in loans and actively trade the equity securities of Hyster-Yale for their own account or for the accounts of customers and, accordingly, such banks and financial institutions and their respective affiliates may at any time hold long or short positions in such securities.
