Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
    
On December 1, 2017, LKQ Corporation ("LKQ" or the "Company"), LKQ Delaware LLP, and certain other subsidiaries of LKQ (collectively, the "Borrowers") entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with the several lenders from time to time party thereto; Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent; Bank of America, N.A. and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, LTD. ("BTMU"), as syndication agents; Citizens Bank, N.A., Suntrust Bank, Compass Bank, PNC Bank, National Association, HSBC Bank USA, National Association and TD Bank, N.A., as documentation agents; and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, and BTMU, as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers. Amendment No. 2 to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated January 29, 2016 by modifying certain terms to (1) extend the maturity date by approximately two years to January 29, 2023; (2) increase the total availability under the revolving credit facility's multicurrency component from $2.45 billion to $2.75 billion; (3) increase the permitted net leverage ratio thresholds, including a temporary step-up in the allowable net leverage ratio in the case of permitted acquisitions; (4) modify the applicable margins and fees in the pricing grid; (5) increase the ability of LKQ and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness; and (6) make other immaterial or clarifying modifications and amendments to the terms of the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Borrowings will continue to bear interest at variable rates.

Amounts under the revolving credit facility are due and payable upon maturity of the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement on January 29, 2023. Term loan borrowings, which total $705 million as of the amendment date, are due and payable in quarterly installments equal to $4 million on the last day of each fiscal quarter ending on or after March 31, 2018 and prior to March 31, 2019 and $9 million on the last day of each fiscal quarter ending on or after March 31, 2019, with the remaining balance due and payable on the maturity date of the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The increase in the revolving credit facility's multicurrency component of $300 million will be used for general corporate purposes.

This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment No. 2 to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
