Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On November 4, 2013, SurModics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”).  The Credit Agreement is a $20 million three year secured revolving line of credit.   The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of its and its subsidiaries’ assets, other than intellectual property and real estate.  The Company has also pledged the stock of its subsidiaries to secure such obligations.
 
Interest under the Credit Agreement is specified in a revolving line of credit note (the “Note”) executed by the Company in favor of the Bank and accrues at a rate per annum equal to (i) LIBOR (as defined in the Note) for an interest period of one month, reset daily, plus a margin ranging from 1.375% to 2.00% or (ii) LIBOR for an interest period of either one, three or six months as selected by the Company, reset at the end of the selected interest period, plus a margin ranging from 1.375% to 2.00%.  A facility fee is payable on unused commitments at a rate of 0.20% per annum. The interest rate margins are determined based on the Company’s ratio of total funded debt to EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
 
The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for a transaction of this type which, among other things, require the Company to meet certain financial tests, including a total leverage ratio of not greater than 2.00 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter and EBITDA of not less than $15,000,000, determined on a rolling four-quarter basis. The Credit Agreement also contains covenants which, among other things, limit the Company’s ability to: incur additional debt; make certain investments; create or permit certain liens; create or permit restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions; consolidate or merge; and engage in other activities customarily restricted in such agreements, in each case subject to exceptions permitted by the Credit Agreement.  The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, the occurrence of which would permit the Bank to terminate its commitment and accelerate the loans.
 
The Bank has performed and may continue to perform commercial banking and financial services for the Company and its subsidiaries for which they have received and will continue to receive customary fees.
 
The foregoing descriptions of the Credit Agreement and the Note are qualified in its entirety by reference to such documents, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 and are incorporated herein by reference.

Results of Operations And Financial Condition.
