Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2015, NOW Inc. (the “Company”) may not be able to comply with the interest coverage ratio covenant (the “Potential Default”) in its Credit Agreement dated as of April 18, 2014 (the “Credit Agreement”). On December 18, 2015, the Company entered into a waiver (the “Waiver”) to the Credit Agreement pursuant to which the lenders thereto agreed, among other things, to waive until January 31, 2016 the Potential Default and to permit the Company to continue to borrow under the Credit Agreement. The Company has commenced discussions with its lenders under the Credit Agreement to enter into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”), which would replace the interest coverage ratio covenant with an asset based coverage test and security interests in certain Company assets. There can be no assurances that the Amendment will be entered into on or before January 31, 2016 or at all.
