ITEM 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 29, 2016, Shenandoah Telecommunications Company, a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) with CoBank, ACB, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and the various financial institutions party thereto (the “Lenders”), which amends certain provisions of the Credit Agreement, dated as of December 18, 2015 (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

Among other things, the First Amendment modifies the Credit Agreement by (i) attaching a form of Consent and Agreement to the Credit Agreement as Exhibit P, the execution of which is a condition to the extension of credit to the Company under the Credit Agreement, and (ii) amending the definitions of “Consolidated EBITDA” and “Permitted Liens,” each as set forth in the First Amendment.

The Administrative Agent and many of the Lenders and their affiliates have in the past performed, and may in the future from time to time perform, investment banking, financial advisory, lending or commercial banking services, or other services for the Company and its subsidiaries, for which they have received, and may in the future receive, customary compensation and expense reimbursement.

The foregoing summary description of the First Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the First Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K.  The Credit Agreement was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K on December  24, 2015.
