Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 13, 2015, Belden Inc. amended its ABL Credit Agreement and Term Loan Credit Agreement, each of which was initially entered into as of October 3, 2013 and included as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on October 9, 2013. The agreements were amended in order to eliminate the ability of the Company’s lenders to terminate these agreements in the event of a “change in control” resulting from a change in a majority of the board members where the new board members were not nominated by the Company’s existing board of directors but their election was approved by the Company’s board of directors. These amendments are included in the Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 and are incorporated herein by reference. The filing of this Form 8-K should not be construed as acknowledging that these amendments are material to the Company.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(d) Exhibits.


10.1		Amendment to ABL Credit Agreement.

10.2		Amendment to Term Loan Credit Agreement.
