Item 1.01

Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 20, 2019, Fabrinet Co., Ltd., a private limited company incorporated and existing under the laws of Thailand (the “Borrower”), and Bank of Ayudhya Public Company Limited (the “Bank”) entered into a Credit Facility Agreement (the “Facility Agreement”). The Borrower is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fabrinet (the “Company”). The Facility Agreement provides for a facility of 110,000,000 Thai Baht and $160,937,500 which may be used for, among other things, an overdraft facility, short term loans against promissory notes, a letter of guarantee facility, a term loan facility and foreign exchange facilities. The Bank may approve any request for extension of credit under the Facility Agreement and may increase or decrease any facility amount in its sole discretion. The Borrower’s obligations under the facility were guaranteed by the Company and are secured by real property owned by the Borrower in Thailand.

On August 20, 2019, the Borrower and the Bank entered into an agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which the Borrower borrowed on September 3, 2019 a term loan in the original principal amount of $60,937,500 under the Facility Agreement (the “Term Loan”). The proceeds of the Term Loan, together with cash on hand, were used to repay outstanding obligations under that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of May 22, 2014, among the Company, the designated borrowers party thereto, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, as amended. The Term Loan accrues interest at 3-month LIBOR plus 1.35% and is repayable in quarterly installments of $3,046,875, commencing on September 30, 2019. The Term Loan matures on June 30, 2024. The Borrower may prepay the Term Loan in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty. Any portion of the Term Loan repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

The Term Loan is guaranteed by the Company and secured by real property owned by the Borrower in Thailand. While the Term Loan is outstanding, the Borrower is required to maintain a loan to value of the mortgaged real property ratio of not greater than 65%. If the loan to value ratio is not maintained, the Borrower will be required to provide additional security or prepay a portion of the Term Loan in order to restore the required ratio. Under the terms of the guarantee, the Company is required to maintain a debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.25 times and a debt to equity ratio less than or equal to 1.0 times. Further, in the case of any payment of a dividend by the Company, its debt service coverage ratio must be at least 1.50 times.

The Term Loan Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants applicable to the Borrower, including delivery of financial statements and other information, compliance with laws maintenance of insurance, restrictions on granting security interests or liens on its assets, disposing of its assets, incurring indebtedness and making acquisitions. The events of default in the Term Loan Agreement include failure to pay amounts due under the Term Loan Agreement or the related finance documents when due, failure to comply with the covenants under the Term Loan Agreement or the related finance documents, cross default with other indebtedness of the Borrower, events of bankruptcy or insolvency in respect of the Borrower, and the occurrence of any event or series of events that in the opinion of the Bank has or is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Facility Agreement and Term Loan Agreement, copies of which are attached as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
