Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 18, 2019, MPM Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), MOM Holding Company, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and MOM Special Company, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) amending the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 13, 2018 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Parent and Merger Sub, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with Merger Sub surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

In light of the ongoing shutdown of portions of the U.S. federal government, which includes those elements of the Department of Treasury responsible for accepting new filings on behalf of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”), the parties have agreed to enter into the Letter Agreement to extend the deadline to obtain clearance from CFIUS to June 13, 2019. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, failure to obtain CFIUS clearance by such date gives each party a right to terminate the Merger Agreement.

Except as expressly amended pursuant to the Letter Agreement, all of the terms, conditions, and other provisions of the Merger Agreement, which was previously filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 19, 2018 (as amended by the Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on December 21, 2018), continue to be in full force and effect.

The foregoing description of the Letter Agreement and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to (i) the Letter Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated by reference herein and (ii) the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on September 19, 2018 (as amended by the Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on December 21, 2018).

(d) Exhibits.



Exhibit 2.1		Letter Agreement, dated January 18, 2019, by and among MOM Holding Company, MOM Special Company, and MPM Holdings Inc.
