Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ:PKOH) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Item1.01

Indenture

On April17, 2017, Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. (the Company), an
Ohio corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Park-Ohio
Holdings Corp. (the Parent), and its material domestic
subsidiaries (the Guarantors) entered into an indenture (the
Indenture) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as
trustee (the Trustee), relating to the issuance by the Company of
$350million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Senior Notes due
2027 (theNotes). The Notes were sold on April17, 2017 in a
private transaction exempt from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act), have not been
and will not be registered under the Securities Act, and may not
be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an
applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act.

The Notes bear an interest rate of 6.625% per annum and will be
payable semi-annually in arrears on April15 and October15 of each
year, commencing on October15, 2017. The Notes mature on April15,
2027. The Notes are unsecured senior obligations of the Company
and are guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by the
Guarantors.

The terms of the Notes are governed by the Indenture. The
Indenture contains customary covenants that, among other things,
limit the Companys and the Guarantors abilities to incur
additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, pay dividends
on or purchase the Companys and the Guarantors equity interests,
make certain investments, incur liens on assets, enter into sale
and leaseback transactions, merge or consolidate with another
company, transfer or sell all or substantially all of the
Companys assets, and enter into transactions with affiliates.
Upon the occurrence of a change of control, as defined in the
Indenture, the Company is required to offer to repurchase the
Notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus any
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date.

The Company may redeem the Notes at any time on or after April15,
2022 at redemption prices of 103.313%, 102.208% and 101.104% of
the principal amount thereof if the redemption occurs during the
12-month periods beginning April15 of the years 2022, 2023 and
2024, respectively, and at a redemption price of 50% of the
principal amount thereof on and after April15, 2025, in each
case, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable
redemption date. In addition, on or prior to April15, 2020 the
Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of
the Notes with net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings of
the Company or Parent at a redemption price of 106.625% of the
principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, to the redemption date. The Company may also redeem all or
part of the Notes at a redemption price of 50% of the principal
amount thereof, plus a make-whole premium, on one or more
occasions prior to April15, 2022.

The Indenture contains customary events of default, including
failure to make required payments, failure to comply with certain
agreements or covenants, failure to pay or acceleration of
certain other indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy and
insolvency, and failure to pay certain judgments. An event of
default under the Indenture will allow either the Trustee or the
holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
then-outstanding Notes to accelerate, or in certain cases, will
automatically cause the acceleration of, the amounts due under
the Notes.

The foregoing description of the Indenture does not purport to be
complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
full text of the Indenture, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit
4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein
by reference.

Supplemental Indenture

On April17, 2017, the Company entered into a sixth supplemental
indenture (the Supplemental Indenture), among the Company, the
guarantors named therein and the Trustee, to the indenture, dated
April7, 2011, among the Company, the guarantors named therein and
the Trustee (the 2021 Notes Indenture), under which the Company
issued its 8.125% Senior Notes due 2021 (the 2021 Notes). The
Supplemental Indenture amends the 2021 Notes Indenture by, among
other things, eliminating certain restrictive covenants contained
in the 2021 Notes Indenture and reducing the minimum period
required for notice of redemption from 30 days to three business
days.

The amendments to the 2021 Notes Indenture contained in the
Supplemental Indenture were effective as of April17, 2017 and
became operative when the Company accepted for purchase validly
tendered 2021 Notes representing a majority of the outstanding
2021 Notes to the Companys tender offer for all outstanding 2021
Notes (the Offer). As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on

Notes, representing approximately 95.59% of the aggregate
principal amount of the 2021 Notes outstanding.

purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the full text of the Supplemental Indenture, a copy
of which is filed as Exhibit 4.2 to this Current Report on Form
8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company also
entered into a registration rights agreement dated April17, 2017
(the Registration Rights Agreement) among the Company, the
Guarantors and the initial purchasers of the Notes. Under the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors

registration statement declared effective by the SEC within 240

limitations, to consummate the exchange offer to which the
exchange offer registration statement relates within 30 business
days after the date on which the registration statement is
declared effective by the SEC. Under certain circumstances, the
Company and the Guarantors have agreed to file a shelf
registration statement with the SEC with respect to the resale of
the Notes and the guarantees thereof. If the Company does not
comply with these obligations, subject to limitations set forth
in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company and the
Guarantors jointly and severally will be required to pay special
interest in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum of the principal
amount of the Notes, for the first 90 days following default.
Thereafter, the amount of special interest will increase by an
additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day
period until the default is cured, up to a maximum amount of 1.0%
per annum.

The initial purchasers of the Notes and their affiliates have,
from time to time, provided certain investment banking,
commercial banking and financial advisory services to the Company
and its affiliates, including acting as lender to the Company and
its affiliates and as a dealer-manager in connection with the
Companys tender offer for, and consent solicitation with respect
