On July 16, 2015, the Company and three of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sherwin-Williams Canada, Inc. (SW Canada), Sherwin-Williams Luxembourg S.à r.l. (SW Lux) and Sherwin-Williams UK Holding Limited, entered into a new five-year $1.35 billion credit agreement. The credit agreement will be used for general corporate purposes, including the financing of working capital requirements. The credit agreement replaces the existing credit agreements for each of the Company, SW Canada and SW Lux, dated July 8, 2011, June 29, 2012 and September 19, 2012, as amended, respectively. The credit agreement allows the Company to extend the maturity of the facility with two one-year extension options and to increase the aggregate amount of the facility to $1.85 billion, both of which are subject to the discretion of each lender.
