Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On August 1, 2011, STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION (the "Company") entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), with BMO Harris Bank N.A., as lender (the "Bank"). On the same date, the Company entered into a Security Agreement (the "Security Agreement") with the Bank, as lender. The Credit Agreement effectively terminates the Company's Promissory Note dated as of October 31, 2010 by and between the Company and M&I Bank.
The new credit facility consists of a revolving line of credit of up to $25 million maturing in three years from the date of the Credit Agreement.

Under the terms of the credit facility, the Company will be required to comply with certain financial and non-financial covenants. The key financial covenant under the Credit Agreement is a minimum level of consolidated tangible net worth. Among other restrictions, the Company will be restricted in its ability to incur additional debt and make acquisitions above certain amounts. As of the date hereof, no amounts have been borrowed under the Credit Agreement.
In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company entered into the Security Agreement pursuant to which it has granted the Bank a security interest in certain of the Company's assets, generally consisting of accounts receivable, personal property, equipment and inventory.
