Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 27, 2018, Autodesk, Inc. (“Autodesk”), Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent (“Agent”), and the lenders party thereto entered into Letter Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 29, 2015, by and among Autodesk, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Agent, as amended by Letter Amendment No. 1 dated as of April 26, 2017 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The terms of the Credit Agreement were described in, and the Credit Agreement was attached to, Autodesk’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 29, 2015 and Autodesk’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2017.

The Amendment amends the Credit Agreement to, among other matters:

(i)
provide that the minimum interest coverage ratio will not apply for the fiscal quarters ending July 31, 2018 and October 31, 2018; and provide further that a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.50 to 1.00 will apply for the fiscal quarter ending January 31, 2019 and 3.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending April 30, 2019 and thereafter; and
(ii)
extend the application of the fixed charge coverage ratio of greater than 1.00 to 1.00 through the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2018. The fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated based on the ratio of (a) the sum of 100% of domestic cash plus 65% of foreign cash to (b) specified charges including consolidated interest expense and income taxes payable by Autodesk and its subsidiaries.

Citibank and the lender parties to the Credit Agreement and the Amendment, and certain of their respective affiliates, have provided, and in the future may provide, financial, banking and related services to Autodesk. These parties have received, and in the future may receive, compensation from Autodesk for these services.
