New York, Aug. 19 - Scholastic Corp. amended its credit facility, adding a consolidated leverage ratio for purposes of determining the ability to make up to $200 million in restricted payments, according to an 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday.

The amendment also redefined the Base Rate for determining the applicable interest rate as a rate equal to the higher of the prime rate, the prevailing Federal Funds rate plus 0.5% or the Eurodollar Rate for a one-month interest period plus 1%.

The amendment was effective on Aug. 16.

JPMorgan is the administrative agent on the deal.

Scholastic is a New York-based publisher and distributor of children's books and educational technology products.
