Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On May 16, 2011, Baldwin Technology Company, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into Waiver and Amendment No. 10 to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Bank of America, N.A. as a Lender and as Administrative Agent, and certain other lenders (the “Lenders”). The Amendment provides for a waiver by the Lenders of the Company’s failure to meet the applicable minimum EBITDA and Currency Adjusted Net Sales (CANS) covenants for the period ended March 31, 2011 and the CANS covenant for the consecutive three-month period ended April 30, 2011.  In addition, the Amendment waived the Company’s failure to meet certain covenants that were breached as a result of the restatements of the Company’s financial results, for the fiscal periods ended June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2010.

Under the Amendment, the Company issued warrants to the Lenders to purchase 372,374 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for $0.01 per share (the “Warrants”).  The Warrants are for a term of ten years and contain a put provision that enables the holders, after May 16, 2013, to request, in exchange for cancellation of the Warrants, a cash settlement equal to the fair market value of the Warrants in an amount not to exceed $1.50 per share.  The Amendment also sets new covenants for CANS, establishes minimum EBITDA levels, adjusts interest rate provisions, approves the disposition of the assets of the Company’s food blends discontinued operations, and establishes certain milestones regarding refinancing the amounts owed by the Company to the Lenders under the Credit Agreement.

A copy of the Amendment will be filed with the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.
