Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Term Loan Incremental Amendment

On March 10, 2015, Kindred Healthcare, Inc. (“Kindred”) entered into an incremental amendment agreement (the “Incremental Term Loan Amendment No. 2”) among Kindred, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Agent”), the incremental term lenders party thereto and the other credit parties party thereto, which amends the Term Loan Credit Agreement dated as of June 1, 2011, as amended by that certain Incremental Amendment No. 1 to the Term Loan Credit Agreement dated as of October 4, 2012 and as further amended and restated by that certain Amendment and Restatement Agreement dated as of May 30, 2013, that certain Second Amendment and Restatement Agreement dated as of August 21, 2013, that certain Third Amendment and Restatement Agreement dated as of April 9, 2014 and that certain Fourth Amendment and Restatement Agreement dated as of November 25, 2014, among Kindred, the lenders from time to time party thereto and the Agent (the “Term Loan Facility”).

The Incremental Term Loan Amendment provides for an incremental term loan under the Term Loan Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $200 million. The incremental term loan was issued with 50 basis points of OID and has the same terms, and is fungible with, the $995 million in aggregate principal amount of term loans that were outstanding under the Term Loan Facility immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Incremental Term Loan Amendment. The net proceeds from the incremental term loan were used to repay a portion of the Company’s outstanding borrowings under its $900 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility.

The description of the Incremental Term Loan Amendment is qualified by the full text of the Incremental Term Loan Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and incorporated herein by reference.
