Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 17, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), GrafTech International Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into a second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement (defined below) among the Company, GrafTech Finance Inc. a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“GrafTech Finance”), Graftech Luxembourg II s.a.r.l., a Luxembourg société à responsabilité limitée and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Luxembourg Holdco”), Graftech Switzwerland SA, a Swiss corporation and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), as administrative agent (in such capacity, as “Administrative Agent”), and the lenders party thereto. The Second Amendment amends the Credit Agreement, dated as of February 12, 2018 (as amended by the First Amendment dated as of June 15, 2018, and as further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Exisiting Credit Agreement” and together with the Second Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, GrafTech Finance, Luxembourg Holdco, Swissco, the lenders and issuing banks from time to time party thereto, and JPMorgan, as administrative agent and collateral agent. The Second Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (a) decrease the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) with respect to any Initial Term Loan (as defined in the Credit Agreement) by 0.50% for each pricing level, (b) decrease the interest rate floor for all Initial Term Loans to 0.50%, (c) add certain technical provisions with respect to the impact of European Union bail-in banking legislation on liabilities of certain non-U.S. financial institutions, and (d) add certain technical provisions in connection with future replacement of the LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement). As a result of the Second Amendment and the combined effect of the reduction in the interest rate margin and the reduction in the interest rate floor, the interest rate on the Initial Term Loan has been reduced by 1.0% per year.

In connection with the Second Amendment, on February 12, 2021, GrafTech Finance repaid approximately $150 million aggregate principal amount of its Initial Term Loans with cash on hand.

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement as amended by the Second Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
