ITEM 1 .0 1 .	Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Effective as of March 9, 2017, WD-40 Company (the “Company”) became obligated to incur certain costs under a contract for the construction of improvements to the Company’s new office building located at 9715 Businesspark Avenue, San Diego, California (the “Property”). The Company and Back’s Construction, Inc. (the “Contractor”) entered into a Standard Form of Agreement between Owner and Contractor dated as of February 23, 2017 (the “Agreement”) for the construction of the improvements to the Property (the “Project”). On March 9, 2017, the Company and the Contractor executed Change Order #1 to the Agreement to finalize a cost summary exhibit and to establish the maximum price for the Project (the “Guaranteed Maximum Price”) in the amount of $4,229,000.

The Agreement provides for construction of the improvements on the basis of “Cost of the Work” plus a “Contractor’s Fee” subject to a Guaranteed Maximum Price. The Cost of the Work covers the full scope of the Project as set forth in construction drawings prepared by the Company’s architect. The Cost of Work includes all direct and subcontracted costs and a weekly general conditions charge for the Contractor for 21 weeks in the amount of $2,800 per week to cover the Contractor’s administrative and supervisory services for the Project. The Contractor’s Fee represents three percent (3%) of the Cost of the Work to cover the Contractor’s overhead, profit and insurance.

The Project is scheduled to be completed no later than July 14, 2017 (“Substantial Completion”).

The Agreement includes standard terms and conditions, including the Contractor’s warranties and requirements for permits, fees, notices, inspections and other compliance, and for management of the Project under oversight from representatives of the Company, including the Company’s architect, ID Studios Interior Design and Strategic Planning, Inc., and the Company’s construction manager, Hughes Marino, Inc. The Contractor will be entitled to additional Contractor’s Fee and/or weekly general conditions charge only on change orders that require overtime, after-hour supervision or extension of the time required for Substantial Completion.
