Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 17, 2023, Helios Technologies, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Helios” or the “Company”), and certain of its guarantor subsidiaries entered into an Incremental Facility Amendment with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC Bank”), as administrative agent, and the various lenders party thereto (the “Incremental Facility Amendment”). The Incremental Facility Amendment amends the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated October 28, 2020, by and among the Company, the guarantor subsidiaries party thereto, the financial institutions party thereto from time to time as lenders, and PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Credit Agreement” and, together with the Incremental Facility Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Incremental Facility Amendment, the Company incurred a new senior secured term loan A-2 (the “Term Loan A-2”) in an aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million. The issue price of the Term Loan A-2 is equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof. The Term Loan A-2 will bear interest at a rate based on either (i) the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) (subject to a 0% floor) for the applicable interest period plus a 0.10% SOFR adjustment plus an applicable margin ranging between 1.50% and 2.75%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio or (ii) a variable rate equal to the highest of (x) the overnight bank funding rate plus 0.5%, (y) the prime rate, and (z) daily simple SOFR plus a 0.10% SOFR adjustment plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin ranging between 0.50% and 1.75%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. The Term Loan A-2 will be guaranteed by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. The Term Loan A-2 is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the guarantors, on a pari passu basis with the other facilities under the Amended Credit Agreement. The Term Loan A-2 matures on October 28, 2025 and is not subject to any mandatory amortization prior to such maturity date.

The net proceeds from the Term Loan A-2, together with cash on hand, are expected to be used to repay outstanding amounts under the Company’s revolving credit facility. Under Amended Credit Agreement, the Company’s ability to increase the revolver or incur additional term loans under the incremental facility will remain at $300 million after giving effect to borrowings under the Term Loan A-2.

All capitalized terms used in this Item 1.01 but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Incremental Facility Amendment. The foregoing description of the Incremental Facility Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Incremental Facility Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

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