Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 20, 2017, SPX Corporation (the Company) and certain of
its subsidiaries entered into an amendment (the First Amendment)
to the Companys existing Credit Agreement, dated as of September
1, 2015 (the Existing Credit Agreement and, as amended by the
First Amendment, the Credit Agreement; capitalized terms used
herein and not defined herein having the meanings given to such
terms in the Credit Agreement), by and among the Company, the
foreign subsidiary borrowers party thereto, the lenders party
thereto, Deutsche Bank AG Deutschlandgeschft Branch, as foreign
trade facility agent, and Bank of America, N.A., as
administrative agent. The First Amendment amended the Existing
Credit Agreement to, among other things:
extend the period during which the Company may reinvest the
net proceeds from the disposition of its dry cooling
business (which disposition was completed on March 30,
2016), without requiring such net proceeds to be used to
prepay loans under the Credit Agreement, from 360 days from
the date of the disposition (or if a commitment to reinvest
such net proceeds is made within such 360 day period,
within 180 days after the conclusion of such 360 day
period) to 720 days from the date of the disposition (or if
a commitment to reinvest such net proceeds has been made
within such 720 day period, within 180 days after the
conclusion of such 720 day period); and
reduce the size of Material Acquisitions and Material
Dispositions for which pro forma effect is to be given in
calculating Consolidated EBITDA (which size is determined
with respect to consideration paid or gross proceeds
received, respectively) from $25,000,000 to $5,000,000 and
to include the disposition of the Balcke Drr businesses as
a Material Disposition), in each case for purposes of
determining the Consolidated Leverage Ratio or Consolidated
Interest Coverage Ratio under the Credit Agreement.
The foregoing is a summary of the First Amendment and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the
First Amendment, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit
10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
