Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 26, 2022, NCL Corporation Ltd. (“NCLC”), a subsidiary of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd., entered into a $1 billion amended and restated commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with the purchasers named therein (collectively, the “Commitment Parties”). The Commitment Letter amends, restates and supersedes the commitment letter, dated November 1, 2021, among NCLC and the purchasers named therein. Pursuant to the Commitment Letter, the Commitment Parties have agreed to purchase an aggregate of $1.0 billion of notes (the “Commitment Facility”). NCLC has the option to make up to two draws under the Commitment Facility, in which case NCLC will issue, and the Commitment Parties will purchase, an aggregate of (i) $450 million principal amount of 8.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “Secured Notes”) and (ii) $550 million principal amount of 8.00% Senior Notes due three years after the issue date (the “Unsecured Notes” and, together with the Secured Notes, the “Notes”).  The Secured Notes must be issued prior to the Unsecured Notes, and the principal amount of Secured Notes issuable will be increased to the extent that NCLC obtains an increase in obligations that may be secured by liens on collateral pursuant to the terms and conditions of NCLC’s debt agreements (with the principal amount of Unsecured Notes decreased commensurately). If drawn, the Notes will be subject to a quarterly duration fee of 1.50% with respect to the Secured Notes and a semi-annual duration fee of 3.00% with respect to the Unsecured Notes, as well as draw fees of 3.00% with respect to the Secured Notes and 5.00% with respect to the Unsecured Notes. The expiration of the Commitment Facility was extended through March 31, 2023. NCLC has not drawn on the Commitment Facility.

The foregoing description of the Commitment Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Commitment Letter, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
