Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On each of June 9, 2016 and June 16, 2016, in connection with the public offering of an aggregate of 1,150,000 8.75% tangible equity units (the “TEUs”) of MTS Systems Corporation (the “Company”), the Company entered into privately-negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with each of JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (collectively, the “Option Counterparties”). The Capped Call Transactions cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the minimum number of shares of common stock, par value $0.25 per share, of the Company that underlie the prepaid stock purchase contract component of the TEUs (each, a “Purchase Contract”).

On June 13, 2018 (the “Amendment Date”), the Company amended and restated the Capped Call Transactions (the “Restated Capped Call Transactions”) with each Option Counterparty in order to, among other things, (i) replace the cap price of $58.80 per Purchase Contract with an adjusted cap price calculated as of the Amendment Day, and (ii) revise the settlement procedures for any outstanding Purchase Contracts such that all “in-the-money” Purchase Contracts (as determined by the Option Counterparties) shall be deemed to be automatically exercised as of the close of trading on July 1, 2019, subject to a 60-day final averaging period and certain other valuation adjustments.

The foregoing summary of the Restated Capped Call Transactions is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Restated Capped Call Transactions, which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, and are incorporated herein by reference
