Table of Contents

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On June 28, 2005, Harman International Industries, Incorporated (the “Company”) entered into a Multi-Currency, Multi-Option Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other banks and financial institutions party thereto.

     The Credit Agreement is an unsecured five-year multi-currency revolving credit facility. Maximum borrowings under the Credit Agreement are $300,000,000 (which under certain circumstances may be increased to $350,000,000).

     Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a floating rate plus a margin. The margin varies based upon the Company’s long-term debt credit ratings. The Credit Agreement contains covenants that, among other things, require the Company to maintain a debt to capitalization ratio and an interest coverage ratio, and limit the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to encumber or sell assets, to incur additional subsidiary debt, and to make certain investments. The Credit Agreement permits the Company to pay dividends or repurchase its capital stock without any dollar limitation provided that the Company would be in compliance with its financial covenants in the Credit Agreement after giving effect to such dividend or repurchase.

     The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is being filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

     JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and its affiliates have provided and may in the future provide certain advisory and investment banking services in the ordinary course of business for the Company, for which they receive customary fees and expenses.

Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

     The Credit Agreement terminates and replaces the Company’s Multi-Currency, Multi-Option Credit Agreement, dated August 14, 2002 (the “Prior Credit Agreement”). The Prior Credit Agreement provided for a $150,000,000 multi-currency revolving credit facility. By its terms, the Prior Credit Agreement would have expired on August 14, 2005.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

     See Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
