Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 13, 2011, Materion Corporation (the "Company") entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to its $55 million Consignment Agreement, dated as of October 2, 2009, among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, and CIBC World Markets, Inc. (the "Metals Agreement"). The Amendment extends the maturity date under the Metals Agreement through September 30, 2012. In addition, the Amendment (a) eliminates silver as a metal eligible for future consignments, and (b) modifies the representations, warranties, covenants and events of default in the Metals Agreement so they conform to their parallel provisions in the Company’s new Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for itself and other lenders, that was entered into on July 13, 2011.

The Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the document, which is incorporated herein by reference.





Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
