Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 2, 2011 Flow International Corporation (the Company) entered into a Third Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement (the Third Amendment) with Bank of America, N.A., the other lender
parties named therein and Banc of America Securities LLC, amending the Companys existing credit
facility dated June 10, 2009 (the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), which was set to
expire June 22, 2011. The Third Amendment has a term that expires March 2, 2014, and provides for
reduced rates of interest that range from 0.00% to 2.25% over prime rate or LIBOR, based on the
Companys leverage ratio. The Third Amendment includes certain financial covenants, including a
requirement that the Company maintain a maximum leverage ratio of 2.75 and a minimum fixed charge
coverage ratio of 1.75. Based on the Companys reduced need for credit, the size of the facility
total commitment is $25 million in the Third Amendment, which is reduced from $40 million in the
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Like the Second Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement, the Third Amendment provides for a pledge of the Companys domestic assets and shares of
certain foreign subsidiaries as security for repayment.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Third Amendment,
a copy of which is attached to this filing as Exhibit 10.1 and which is incorporated by reference
herein. For reference, a copy of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is attached
herein as Exhibit 10.2.
Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2011. A copy of the press release is attached to this Current
Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1. The Company will hold a conference call to discuss the
results on Thursday, March 3, 2011, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (2:00 p.m. Pacific Time).

Arrangement of a Registrant.
