Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Amendment to Asset-Based Credit Facility

On August 23, 2024, Signet Jewelers Limited (the “Company”) entered into the Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”), which amends the Company’s senior secured asset-based credit facility (the “ABL”) under that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of September 27, 2019 (as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement and the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement, the “Existing Credit Agreement”; the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended by the Fourth Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”), by and among (i) the Company, as holdings, (ii) Signet Group Limited, as the lead administrative borrower, a lead borrower and a borrower, (iii) each other subsidiary of the Company party thereto as a borrower, (iv) the lenders and issuers from time to time party thereto and (v) Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, collateral agent and security trustee.

The Fourth Amendment amends the Existing Credit Agreement to, among other things:

•extend the maturity date of the ABL from July 28, 2026 to August 23, 2029;

•lower the available aggregate commitment amounts thereunder from $1,500,000,000 to $1,200,000,000 to reflect the reductions in inventory the Company has made over the last three years;

•expand the assets counted in the calculation of the borrowing base applicable to the ABL to include all specified assets of borrower and guarantor entities (as opposed to only including specified assets of borrower entities); and

•modify certain covenants to which the Company and certain of its subsidiaries are subject, as obligors under the ABL.

Except for the changes noted above, the material terms and conditions of the ABL remain substantially unchanged. There are currently no outstanding borrowings under the ABL and the Company is currently in compliance with the Amended Credit Agreement covenants. The Unused Commitment Fee Rate remained at 0.20% per annum in the Fourth Amendment, which on the reduced commitment amounts is expected to decrease the Company’s unused commitment fees by up to $600,000 annually.

The foregoing summary of the amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement effected pursuant to the Fourth Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Fourth Amendment, which is incorporated herein by reference and will be filed with the Company’s next quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
