Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 19, 2020 (the "Closing Date"), Tenet Healthcare Corporation, a Nevada corporation ("Tenet"), entered into an Amendment No. 4 (the "LC Amendment") to extend its existing Letter of Credit Facility Agreement, dated as of March 7, 2014 (as amended by the LC Amendment and in effect as of the Closing Date, the "LC Agreement"), by and among Tenet, the LC participants and issuers party thereto and Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent (the "LC Agent"). The LC Agreement provides for the issuance of standby and documentary letters of credit from time to time, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200 million (the "LC Facility").

The LC Amendment has an effective date of March 19, 2020 and amends certain provisions under the LC Agreement to, among other things, (i) extend the scheduled maturity date of the LC Facility from March 7, 2021 to September 12, 2024 and (ii) increase the principal amount of standby and documentary letters of credit permitted to be issued thereunder from $180 million to $200 million.

Tenet may also issue letters of credit in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200 million under its $1.5 billion senior secured revolving credit facility, which also has a scheduled maturity date of September 12, 2024.

The LC Agent and certain LC participants and issuers party to the LC Agreement, as well as certain of their affiliates, have performed, and may in the future perform, for Tenet and its subsidiaries, various commercial banking, investment banking, underwriting and other financial advisory services, for which they have received and may in the future receive customary fees and expenses.

The foregoing description of the LC Amendment is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the LC Amendment, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.
