Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 12, 2014, Amphenol Corporation (the “Company”) issued and sold $375,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 1.550% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”) and $375,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.125% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “ 2021 Notes” and together, the “Notes”) pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-193385), including the related Prospectus dated January 16, 2014, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement dated September 9, 2014.  The Notes were sold in an underwritten public offering pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated September 9, 2014, by and between the Company and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Mitsubishi UFJ Securities (USA), Inc. and TD Securities (USA) LLC, as representatives of the several Underwriters named in Schedule A thereto.

The 2017 Notes were sold to the public at a price of 99.898% of the principal amount, the 2021 Notes were sold to the public at a price of 99.912% of the principal amount, and the Company received net proceeds of approximately $744.8 million from the offering after deducting the underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses.  The Company intends to use all of the net proceeds of this offering to repay all of its outstanding $600 million 4.75% Senior Notes due November 15, 2014 and for general corporate purposes. Prior to November 15, 2014, it intends to use the net proceeds of this offering to repay amounts outstanding under its credit facilities.

The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of November 5, 2009 (the “Indenture”) between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and certain of the terms of the Notes were established pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate dated September 12, 2014 (the “Officers’ Certificate”) in accordance with the Indenture.  The Indenture and Officers’ Certificate contain certain covenants and events of default and other customary provisions.

The 2017 Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.550% per year and the 2021 Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.125% per year.  Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2015.  The Company will make each interest payment to the holders of record on the immediately preceding March 1 and September 1.  The 2017 Notes will mature on September 15, 2017 and the 2021 Notes will mature on September 15, 2021.  The Company may redeem some or all of the 2017 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption, plus a “make-whole” premium. Prior to August 15, 2021 (one month prior to the maturity date), the Company may redeem some or all of the 2021 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption, plus a ‘‘make-whole’’ premium. On or after August 15, 2021 (one month prior to the maturity date), the Company may redeem the 2021 Notes in whole or in part, at its option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.  The Notes are unsecured and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s other unsecured senior indebtedness.
