Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Sotheby's (the “Company”) and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries are parties to a credit agreement dated August 22, 2014, with an international syndicate of lenders which provides for separate dedicated revolving credit facilities for its Agency segment (the "Agency Credit Facility") and Sotheby’s Financial Services (the "SFS Credit Facility") (together, as amended, the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of August 22, 2020.
The maximum aggregate borrowing capacity of the Credit Agreement, which is subject to a borrowing base, is approximately $1.335 billion, with $300 million committed to the Agency segment and $1.035 billion committed to SFS. The borrowing capacity of the Agency Credit Facility includes a $50 million incremental revolving credit facility with higher advance rates against certain assets and higher commitment and borrowing costs (the "Incremental Facility").
On July 22, 2016, the Incremental Facility maturity date was extended by one year to August 22, 2017, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.
