Subsequent Events	Note 16. Subsequent Events On March 17, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.67 per share payable on April 30, 2020 to shareholders of record on April 17, 2020. On March 16, 2020, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement modifies the Company’s existing Credit Agreement dated June 17, 2011 with Bank of America. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement increased the revolving commitment from $100.0 million to $150.0 million and increased the sublimit for the revolving commitment for borrowing by WD-40 Company Limited, a wholly owned operating subsidiary of the Company for Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India, from $50.0 million to $100.0 million. In addition to other non-material and technical amendments to the Credit Agreement, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement modified certain restrictive covenants. An exception to a prohibition on Investments has been added to allow for intercompany loans or advances from any Loan Party to Subsidiaries which are not Loan Parties in an aggregate amount of up to $5.0 million outstanding at any time. In addition, an exception for other investments not otherwise covered by an exception has been increased from $2.5 to $5.0 million. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also includes a new schedule of permitted consolidated capital expenditures to permit the Company to make contemplated capital investments in the current and future fiscal years of up to $30.5 million in fiscal year 2020, $19.0 million in fiscal year 2021, and $15.0 million for fiscal years 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement increases the carryforward from one fiscal year to the next fiscal year of unused Permitted Consolidated Capital Expenditures from $2.5 million to $5.0 million. The new maturity date for the revolving credit facility per the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is March 16, 2025. On March 16, 2020, the Company also entered into a second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to its existing Note Agreement dated November 15, 2017 by and among the Company, Prudential and Note Purchasers. The Second Amendment amended the Note Agreement to permit the Company (inclusive of its subsidiaries) to enter into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America and the Second Amendment includes certain conforming amendments to the Note Agreement consistent with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including a schedule of permitted consolidated capital expenditures and related carryforward provisions for unused portions each fiscal year. On April 8, 2020, the Company signed letters from Bank and America and Prudential acknowledging an agreement between the Company and both lenders to permit the Company to add back to its net income for the quarter ended August 31, 2019 a one-time, non-cash charge for an uncertain tax position associated with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “toll tax” in the amount of $8.7 million solely for the purpose of the Dividend Covenant as described in Note 8 – Debt. The material terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the Second Amendment discussed above do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to Exhibit 10(b) and Exhibit 10(c), respectively, included in Part II—Item 6, “Exhibits” and incorporated by reference in this report, and by reference to Exhibits 10(d) and 10(e), respectively included in Part II – Item 6. See Note 8 – Debt for additional information on the Company’s existing debt agreements and related financial covenants as of February 29, 2020. During the week of March 23, 2020, the Company drew an additional $80.0 million in U.S. Dollars under its line of credit with Bank of America bringing the balance on the line of credit to approximately $149.0 million. As a result of this additional borrowing, the Company has now drawn almost the entirety of the $150.0 million available under the Credit Agreement. Although the Company does not have any presently anticipated need for this additional liquidity, the Company decided to draw this additional amount to ensure future liquidity given the recent significant impact on global financial markets and the economy as a result of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak. Due to the speed with which the COVID-19 situation is developing, the Company is not able at this time to estimate the impact of COVID-19 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but the impact could be material for the remainder of fiscal year 2020 in all business segments and could be material during any future period affected either directly or indirectly by this pandemic.
