On November 17, 2017, H.B. Fuller Company (the “ Company ”, “ we ”, “ us ” or “ our ”) entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “ Amendment ”) to our Credit Agreement, dated as of April 12, 2017 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2017, and as further amended or otherwise modified prior to the Amendment, the “ Existing Credit Agreement ”; the Existing Credit Agreement as amended by the Amendment is referred to herein as the “ Credit Agreement ” ) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and various other financial institutions party thereto as lenders.

The Amendment amends the Existing Credit Agreement to, among other things, implement certain updates in light of the final terms and conditions set forth in the Term Loan Credit Agreement we entered into on October 20, 2017 (the “ Term Loan Agreement ”) with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent and the various other financial institutions party thereto as lenders, including adjusting the initial interest rate spread that we pay on LIBOR and prime rate loans by 0.25%. The provisions for interest after the initial interest period are not affected by the Amendment. The Amendment also conforms certain provisions of the Credit Agreement to the Term Loan Agreement.

A copy of the Amendment is attached hereto as an exhibit and expressly incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the actual terms of the Amendment and the Credit Agreement.

The foregoing descriptions and the copy of the Amendment have been included to provide information regarding the terms of the agreements. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company.
