Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
On March 31, 2015, OSI Restaurant Partners, LLC (“OSI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bloomin’ Brands, Inc. (the “Company”), as borrower, OSI HoldCo, Inc., OSI’s direct parent and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“OSI HoldCo”), certain subsidiaries of OSI, certain lenders (the “Lenders”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to OSI’s existing credit agreement, dated October 26, 2012, among OSI, as borrower, OSI HoldCo, certain lenders and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as prior administrative agent for the lenders (as previously amended, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), to effect an increase of OSI’s existing revolving credit facility from $600.0 million to $825.0 million in order to fully pay down its existing Term Loan B on April 2, 2015 (the “Prepayment”). No other material changes were made to the terms of OSI’s Existing Credit Agreement as a result of the Amendment.
Prior to the Prepayment, the Company had an outstanding balance of $215.0 million on its Term Loan B. In connection with the Amendment, the Company made a $216.3 million draw on the revolving credit facility to prepay its Term Loan B and to pay related accrued interest, fees and expenses.

Following the Amendment and Prepayment, $551.3 million was drawn under the revolving credit facility, and an additional $29.6 million of the revolving credit facility was committed for the issuance of letters of credit and not available for borrowing.

Certain of the Lenders and certain of their affiliates have performed investment banking, commercial lending and advisory services for OSI, the Company, their subsidiaries and their respective affiliates, from time to time, for which they have received customary fees and expenses, including in connection with the Company’s initial public offering and commercial mortgage backed securities loan in 2012. These parties may, from time to time, engage in transactions with, and perform services for, OSI, the Company, their subsidiaries and their respective affiliates in the ordinary course of their business.
