INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT
 
Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01 – Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 22, 2011, Wabash National Corporation (the “Company”) entered into the First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) with its lenders under the Company’s Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) signed on June 28, 2011.  The Amendment was entered into to permit an increase to the total commitment of the revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) from $150 million to $175 million.

Under the Credit Agreement the Company had the option, subject to certain conditions, to request up to two increases to the $150 million Revolver in minimum increments of $25 million and not to exceed $50 million in the aggregate (any such increase, a “Revolver Increase”).  Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company requested a Revolver Increase of $25 million.  All lenders under the Credit Agreement agreed to participate in the Revolver Increase and the Revolver Increase was effective August 22, 2011.  As of the effective date of the Amendment and related Revolver Increase, no default or event of default existed.  The Company continues to have the option, subject to certain conditions, to request one additional Revolver Increase of $25 million.

A copy of the Amendment is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
