Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On January 19, 2022, certain subsidiaries of Maravai LifeSciences Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 19, 2020, among Maravai Intermediate Holdings, LLC, Cygnus Technologies, LLC and Trilink Biotechnologies, LLC, as the borrowers, Maravai Topco Holdings, LLC, as holdings, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative and collateral agent (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”). The Amendment replaces the LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) based interest rate with a Term SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) based rate. The Amendment also reduces the interest rate margins applicable to the term and revolving facilities under the Credit Agreement. The previous interest rate margin on the facilities was, with respect to each LIBOR-based loan, 3.75% to 4.25% and, with respect to each base rate-based loan, 2.75% to 3.25% (depending, in each case, on consolidated first lien leverage). Following the Amendment, the interest rate margin on the facilities is 3.00%, with respect to each Term SOFR-based loan, and 2.00%, with respect to each base rate-based loan. Further, the Amendment reduces the base rate floor for the term loans from 2.00% to 1.50%, sets the floor for Term SOFR-based term loans at 0.50% and sets the floor for Term SOFR-based revolving loans at 0.00%. No other significant terms under the Credit Agreement were changed in connection with the Amendment.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
