Item 1.01

Amendment to Material Agreement.

On September 25, 2020, Corsair Gaming, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 6 to First Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement (“Amendment No. 6”) with certain other parties thereto with respect to the Company’s credit facility contemplated thereby (the “Credit Facility”). Among other things, Amendment No. 6 released certain non-United States incorporated obligors (the “Released Borrowers” and the “Released Guarantors” as each term is defined in Amendment No. 6) from their obligations under the Credit Facility and released certain non-United States collateral under the Credit Facility (as described in Section 5 of Amendment No. 6). The Company assumed all obligations of each Released Borrower in its capacity as a “Borrower” under or in connection with the First Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, Amendment No. 6 also effected certain amendments to the representations and warranties and covenants under the First Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement to, among other things, (i) apply only to the Company and its subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions) and (ii) eliminate the requirement for lender calls. The foregoing description of Amendment No. 6 is qualified in its entirety by reference to Amendment No. 6 filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.
