Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 20, 2019, The AES Corporation (the "Company") entered into an Amendment No. 3 (the "Amendment No. 3") to the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit and Reimbursement Agreement, dated as of July 26, 2013, among the Company, various subsidiary guarantors and various lending institutions (as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of May 6, 2016, and Amendment No. 2, dated as of June 28, 2017, the "Existing Credit Agreement") that amends and restates the Existing Credit Agreement (as so amended and restated by Amendment No. 3, the "Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement"). The Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement adjusts the terms and conditions of the Existing Credit Agreement, including the following changes:





     • the interest rate margin applicable to the revolving credit loan facility
       is based on the credit rating assigned to the loans under the Seventh
       Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with a decrease in pricing from
       LIBOR + 2.00% to current pricing at LIBOR + 1.75%;




     • the final maturity date of the revolving credit loan facility is extended
       to December 20, 2024; and




     • the aggregate commitment for the revolving credit loan facility is $1
       billion, reflecting a net decrease in commitments of $100 million.

The foregoing description of Amendment No. 3 and the Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Amendment No. 3 and the Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, copies of which are attached as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.1A hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
