ITEM 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

2nd Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On April 30, 2024, WD-40 Company (the “Company”), and certain subsidiaries of the Company, entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2nd A&R Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”). The 2nd A&R Credit Agreement modifies certain terms and conditions of the Company’s Amended and Restated Agreement dated March 16, 2020 (as amended on September 30, 2020, and November 29, 2021, collectively, the “Credit Agreement”), including extending the maturity date for the revolving credit facility to April 30, 2029. Borrowings under the 2nd A&R Credit Agreement will be used for the Company’s various operating, investing and financing needs. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this report have the meaning given to such terms in the 2nd A&R Credit Agreement.

Under the 2nd A&R Credit Agreement:

The Revolving Commitment decreases from $150 million to $125 million.
The sublimit of the Revolving Commitment for borrowing by WD-40 Company Limited, a wholly owned operating subsidiary of the Company for Europe, India, the Middle East, and Africa, decreases from $100 million to $95 million.
The index rate to compute interest for U.S. Dollar borrowings changes from the Bloomberg Short-term Bank Yield Index rate to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

In addition to other non-material and technical amendments, including changes to certain definitions and clarifications, the 2nd A&R Credit Agreement includes modifications to certain restrictive covenants:

The exception to a prohibition on Investments for intercompany loans or advances from any Loan Party to Subsidiaries which are not Loan Parties has been increased from $10 million to $25 million.
The exception for Investments not otherwise covered by an exception has been increased from $15 million to $25 million.
The restrictions on Permitted Consolidated Capital Expenditures have been removed.
The exception to prohibition on Dispositions not otherwise contemplated has been increased from $25 million to $40 million.

The material terms of the 2nd A&R Credit Agreement discussed above do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the 2nd A&R Credit Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10(a) and incorporated herein by reference.

4th Amendment to Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement

On April 30, 2024, the Company entered into a fourth amendment (the “4th Amendment”) to the Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement dated November 15, 2017 (as amended on February 23, 2018, March 16, 2020, and September 30, 2020, collectively, the “Note Agreement”) by and among the Company and PGIM, Inc. (“Prudential”), and certain affiliates and managed accounts of Prudential (collectively with Prudential, the “Note Purchasers”). The 4th Amendment amends the Note Agreement to permit the Company (inclusive of its subsidiaries) to enter into the 2nd A&R Credit Agreement with Bank of America and the 4th Amendment includes certain conforming amendments to the Note Agreement consistent with the 2nd A&R Credit Agreement.

The material terms of the 4th Amendment discussed above do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the 4th Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit 10(b) and incorporated herein by reference.

All other material terms included in the Credit Agreement and the Note Agreement remain unchanged as a result of execution of the 2nd A&R Credit Agreement and the 4th Amendment.
