Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 29, 2012, LPL Investment Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) among the Company, LPL Holdings, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the “Borrower”), the other Credit Parties signatory thereto, the Several Lenders signatory thereto, and Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Letter of Credit Issuer and Swingline Lender.  The Agreement refinances and replaces the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 24, 2010 (as amended, the “Original Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the Borrower, the Lenders from time to time party thereto, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as Administrative Agent, Morgan Stanley & Co., as Collateral Agent, and the other parties thereto.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Borrower has established a new Term Loan A of $735.0 million maturing at March 29, 2017 (the “Term Loan A”) and a new Term Loan B tranche of $615.0 million maturing at March 29, 2019 (the “Term Loan B”).  The Term Loan A will amortize at 5% per year for years one and two, 10% a year for years three and four, and the balance in year five.  The Term Loan B will amortize at 1% per year with the balance due upon maturity.  The Company will also maintain a revolving credit facility maturing on March 29, 2017 with capacity of $250.0 million, which was undrawn at closing.

The applicable margin for borrowings with respect to the (a) Term Loan A is currently 1.50% for base rate borrowings and 2.50% for LIBOR borrowings; and (b) Term Loan B is currently 2.00% for base rate borrowings and 3.00% for LIBOR borrowings.  The LIBOR Rate with respect to the Term Loan B shall in no event be less than 1.00%.  Based on the Company’s current leverage ratio, the revolving credit facility is priced at LIBOR + 2.50% with a commitment fee of 0.50%.

The funds received under the Agreement were used to repay the outstanding amounts under the Original Credit Agreement and to pay certain transaction expenses related to the Agreement.

A copy of the Agreement is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference as though fully set forth herein.  The foregoing summary description of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are not intended to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by the complete text of the Agreement.
