Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 29, 2021, U. S. Steel Košice, s.r.o. (“USSK”), a company organized under the laws of the Slovak Republic and a wholly owned subsidiary of United States Steel Corporation (the “Corporation”), and Ferroenergy s.r.o., a company organized under the laws of the Slovak Republic and a wholly owned subsidiary of USSK, as guarantor, entered into an unsecured sustainability linked revolving credit facility (the “USSK Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto. The USSK Credit Agreement replaces USSK’s EUR 460,000,000 multicurrency revolving credit facility dated September 26, 2018, as amended from time to time (the “Prior Facility”). The USSK Credit Agreement provides for a EUR 300,000,000 revolving unsecured credit facility that expires on September 29, 2026. The USSK Credit Agreement also includes an accordion that allows USSK to request, at any time during the first 12 months of the agreement, an increase to the total commitment amount up to an additional EUR 200,000,000. The USSK Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default and other terms and conditions substantially similar to the Prior Facility.

The foregoing descriptions of the USSK Credit Agreement do not purport to be complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety to the full text of the USSK Credit Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 29, 2021, in connection with the entry into the USSK Credit Agreement, USSK voluntarily cancelled the Prior Facility. The Prior Facility would have matured on September 26, 2023. No early termination penalties applied with respect to such voluntary cancellation prior to maturity.

The material terms of the Prior Facility are described in the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 2, 2018. The foregoing descriptions of the Prior Facility do not purport to be complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Prior Facility, which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 2, 2018 and is incorporated by reference herein.
