Items 1.01 and 8.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement and Other Events

On July 17, 2009, Entegris, Inc. (the “Company”) amended (the “Amendment”) its Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as agent (the “Agreement”), and certain other banks party thereto (collectively, the “Banks”). A copy of the Amendment is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference as though fully set forth herein. A copy of the Agreement was filed as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 4, 2009 and is incorporated herein by reference as though fully set forth herein. The following summary of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Amendment filed herewith.

The Amendment adjusts the manner in which we calculate the fixed asset component of our borrowing base under the credit facility and allows us greater discretion with respect to follow-on investments in a privately-held company.

The adjustment to our borrowing base calculation allowed us to avoid an obligation to pay down $4.5 million on the credit facility as of July 17, 2009 that would have otherwise resulted from a recent fixed asset appraisal. The adjustment to the fixed asset component of our borrowing base includes a step down in our fixed asset valuation as of the last day of fiscal October 2009, January 2010 and April 2010. The ability to borrow under the credit facility is subject to a borrowing base composed of domestic eligible fixed assets, inventory and accounts receivable. The step down in fixed asset valuation could result in the overall borrowing cap being adjusted downward over time, depending on our other borrowing base components.
