Item 1.01               Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 30, 2007, MacDermid, Incorporated (the “Company”), in connection with the previously announced tender offer and consent solicitation being conducted by Matrix Acquisition Corp. (“Matrix”) with respect to the Company’s outstanding 9⅛% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the “Notes”), entered into a supplemental indenture, dated as of March 30, 2007, by and between the Company and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture”), supplementing that certain indenture dated as of June 20, 2001 with respect to the Notes (the “Indenture”).

The Supplemental Indenture effects certain amendments to the Indenture proposed in connection with the tender offer and consent solicitation, which amendments will eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default that are triggered or implicated by the previously announced merger between Matrix and the Company (the “Merger”) and the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger among MDI Holdings, LLC, Matrix and the Company dated December 15, 2006 (the “Merger Agreement”). The amendments will not become operative unless and until the Notes tendered in the tender offer and consent solicitation are accepted for purchase pursuant to the terms of the tender offer and consent solicitation. Consummation of the tender offer and consent solicitation and payment of the related consideration are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of various conditions, including the consummation of the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, which are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all the conditions precedent thereto contained in the Merger Agreement.

A copy of the Supplemental Indenture, attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1, is incorporated herein by reference.
