Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

As previously disclosed, Fathom Digital Manufacturing Corporation's (the "Company") Credit Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2021, among Fathom Guarantor, LLC, Fathom Manufacturing, LLC, the lenders from time to time party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, was amended as of November 10, 2022 (the original Credit Agreement, as so amended, the "Amended Credit Agreement"). On March 24, 2023, the parties to the Amended Credit Agreement entered a further amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement (the "Second Amendment"; the Amended Credit Agreement as so amended, the "Second Amended Credit Agreement") in order to modify certain financial covenants contained therein.

Specifically, the Second Amendment (i) suspends through fiscal 2023 applicability of the minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.50 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter ending in fiscal 2023, and reduces the minimum interest coverage ratio from 2.75 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarters ending on March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 and 3.0 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarters ending on September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024 to 2.00 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarters ending on March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, 2.25 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2024 and 2.50 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending on December 31, 2024, (ii) suspends through fiscal year 2023 applicability of the maximum net leverage ratio of 4.50 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarters ending on March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023 and 4.25 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarters ending on September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2023, and increases the maximum net leverage ratio from 4.0 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending on March 31, 2024 and 3.5 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarters ending on June 30, 2024, September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024, to 5.0 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending on March 31, 2024, 4.75 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending on June 30, 2024, 4.50 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2024 and 4.0 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2024, (iii) establishes a new quarterly minimum EBITDA financial covenant of $3.1 million for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023, $8.75 million for the trailing two fiscal quarter period ending June 30, 2023, $16.75 million for the trailing three fiscal quarter period ending September 30, 2023 and $24.4 million for the trailing four fiscal quarter period ending December 31, 2023 (excluding for purposes of this covenant specified adjustments otherwise made pursuant to the definition of EBITDA in the Second Amended Credit Agreement), (iv) establishes a new financial covenant of minimum Liquidity (as defined in the Second Amended Credit Agreement) of at least $13.5 million on the last day of any month ending on March 31, 2023 and through and including December 31, 2024, (v) suspends through December 31, 2024 certain sale and lease-back transactions, acquisitions, other investments and restricted payments by the Company otherwise permitted by Article VI of the Second Amended Credit Agreement and (vi) imposes certain other limitations on the incurrence of subordinated indebtedness prior to March 31, 2024. Additionally, the Second Amendment provides for a new interest rate spread of adjusted Term SOFR plus 4.00% or alternate base rate + 3.00% (as may be selected by the Company), at any time the Company's net leverage ratio is equal to or in excess of 4.50 to 1.00. Under the Amended Credit Agreement the Company is subject to various financial covenants, including quarterly net leverage and interest coverage. For the period ending December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with the net interest coverage covenant. We did not meet the quarterly net leverage ratio for the period ending December 31, 2022, however, the lenders provided the Company with a loan covenant waiver as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2022.

In connection with the preparation and execution of the Second Amendment, the Company paid customary arranger and lender consent fees, and reasonable and documented expenses of the Administrative Agent.

The foregoing description is only a summary of certain provisions of the Second Amended Credit Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Second Amendment (including the form of restated Second Amended Credit Agreement attached as Annex I thereto), a copy of which is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
