Item 1.01.   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 24, 2019, the Corporation and its wholly‐owned subsidiary, Martin Marietta Funding LLC (“MM Funding”), entered into the Eleventh Amendment (the “Eleventh Amendment”) to its Credit and Security Agreement with SunTrust Bank dated as of April 19, 2013. Pursuant to the Eleventh Amendment, the scheduled maturity date of the facility was extended to September 23, 2020.

The Credit and Security Agreement is a $400,000,000 trade receivables securitization facility backed by trade receivables originated by the Corporation or by certain of its subsidiaries and acquired by the Corporation, which the Corporation then sells or contributes to MM Funding. MM Funding’s borrowings bear interest at one‐month LIBOR plus 0.725%, subject to change in the event that this rate no longer reflects the lenders’ cost of lending.

The Credit and Security Agreement includes an amortization event related to a payment default or acceleration of one of the Corporation’s material debt agreements.

The Eleventh Amendment is filed as an exhibit hereto and is incorporated herein by reference, and the description of the Eleventh Amendment and the Credit and Security Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by the terms thereof.
