LEGG MASON, INC. (NYSE:LM) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 2, 2017, Legg Mason, Inc., as borrower (the Company or
the Borrower), Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the
other banks party thereto (collectively, the Lenders), entered
into a fourth amendment and waiver (the Fourth Amendment) to the
Companys unsecured Credit Agreement, dated as of December 29,
2015 (as amended by the First Amendment, dated as of March 31,
2016, the Second Amendment, dated as of September 7, 2016, and
the Third Amendment, dated as of March 31, 2017, the Credit
Agreement) to which the Lenders made available to the Company a
multi-currency revolving credit facility.
The Fourth Amendment revises the definition of Hedging Agreement
in the Credit Agreement to include any swap, forward, future or
derivative transaction or option or similar agreement involving,
or settled by reference to, one or more rates, currencies,
commodities, equity or debt instruments or securities, or
economic, financial, pricing or equity indices or measures of
economic, financial or pricing risk or value or any similar
transaction or any combination of these transactions.
In addition, the Fourth Amendment amends the lien covenant in the
Credit Agreement so that the Borrower (in addition to its
Significant Subsidiaries (as defined in the Credit Agreement)) is
permitted to incur Liens (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to
secure obligations (including obligations in respect of Hedging
Agreements) in an aggregate amount not exceeding (as to the
Borrower and all of its Significant Subsidiaries) US $200,000,000
at any one time outstanding.
The Fourth Amendment also provides for a waiver of any defaults
under the Credit Agreement that may have arisen prior to the date
of the Fourth Amendment as a result of the provision of cash
collateral by the Borrower to secure obligations under certain
Hedging Agreements.
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company has various
business relationships with most of the Lenders.
The foregoing description of the Fourth Amendment does not
purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Fourth Amendment, which is filed as an exhibit
hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
