Item 2.03

Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

As previously disclosed, on January 27, 2017, Patterson Companies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with certain lenders from time to time parties thereto, MUFG Bank, Ltd. (f/k/a The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd.), as administrative agent, and Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, pursuant to which the lenders agreed to provide certain senior unsecured credit facilities. At present, the Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $500 million revolving line of credit.

Between April 28, 2020 and April 30, 2020, the Company provided notice to the administrative agent to drawdown an aggregate of $340 million. Upon funding of the requested draws, there will be $450 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility, representing 90% of the full amount available. The Company elected to drawdown the revolving line of credit to increase its cash position and provide financial flexibility in light of current economic conditions and uncertainties arising in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. The proceeds will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Interest payable on borrowings under the revolving credit facility is variable and is determined as a base rate plus a spread. This spread, as well as a commitment fee on any unused portion of the facility, is based on the Company’s leverage ratio, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default. The revolving credit facility will mature no later than January 27, 2022, and the Company may repay amounts borrowed at any time without penalty.

The foregoing description of the Amended Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and which is incorporated by reference herein.
