ITEM 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

First Amendment to Credit Agreement

On September 30, 2020, WD-40 Company (the “Company”) entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment to Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”). The First Amendment to Credit Agreement modifies the Company’s existing $150.0 million Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated March 16, 2020 (as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this report have the meaning given to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

The First Amendment to Credit Agreement revises certain financial and restrictive covenants and adjusts the interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Agreement as described below. The maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio has been increased from 3.0 to 1.0 to 3.5 to 1.0. The Restricted Payments covenant has been modified to permit the payment of dividends so long as immediately prior to and after giving effect to the payment of dividends, no Event of Default exists and the Company and its subsidiary Loan Parties are in compliance with applicable financial covenants. In addition to other non-material and technical amendments to the Credit Agreement, the First Amendment to Credit Agreement also modifies the restrictive covenants relating to Indebtedness and Investments. The limitation on other unsecured Indebtedness (including borrowing under the Company’s amended Note Agreement described below) has been increased from $35.0 million to $125.0 million. With respect to the restrictions on Investments, intercompany loans, advances or capital contributions from any Loan Party to Subsidiaries that are not Loan Parties may be made in an aggregate amount of up to $10.0 million outstanding at any time from and after September 30, 2020. In addition, Investments not otherwise covered by any other exception to the restriction on Investments may be made in an aggregate amount of up to $15.0 million outstanding at any time from and after November 15, 2017. No such Investments have been made from that date through September 30, 2020. The First Amendment to Credit Agreement also modifies the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Credit Agreement by changing the Applicable Rate from 0.90% for Libor Rate Loans and 0.0% for Prime Rate Loans to a three-tier pricing approach tied to the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio. For Libor Rate Loans and Prime Rate Loans, the Applicable Rate is a spread added to the Libor Daily Floating Rate and Prime Rate, respectively. An increase or decrease in the Applicable Rate will apply in the event of a change in the Consolidated Leverage Ratio from and after the first Business Day after the Company delivers a Compliance Certificate to Bank of America. Table 1 below reflects the tiered Applicable Rate.

The new Maturity Date for the revolving credit facility per the Credit Agreement is September 30, 2025.

The material terms of the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement discussed above do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10(a) and incorporated herein by reference.

Third Amendment to Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement

On September 30, 2020, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement (the “Third Amendment to Note Agreement”) amending its existing Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement dated November 15, 2017 (as amended February 23, 2018 and amended March 16, 2020, the “Note Agreement”) by and among the Company, PGIM, Inc. (“Prudential”), and certain affiliates and managed accounts of Prudential (the “Note Purchasers”). The Third Amendment to Note Agreement amends the Note Agreement to permit the Company (inclusive of its subsidiaries) to enter into the First Amendment to Credit Agreement with Bank of America and the Third Amendment includes certain conforming amendments to the Note Agreement consistent with the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, including the revision of the financial and restrictive covenants described above.



The material terms of the Third Amendment discussed above do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the Third Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit 10(e) and incorporated herein by reference.

All other material terms included in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated March 16, 2020 and the Note Agreement remain unchanged as a result of execution of the First Amendment to Credit Agreement and the Third Amendment to Note Agreement.

Issuance and Sale of $52.0 Million in Notes under Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement

On September 30, 2020, the Company issued and sold senior unsecured notes pursuant to the Note Agreement to specified Note Purchasers in the aggregate amount of $52.0 million. Pursuant to the Note Agreement (as amended by the Third Amendment to Note Agreement), the Company agreed to sell $26.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes (the “Series B Notes”) to specified Note Purchasers and the Company agreed to sell $26.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes (the “Series C Notes” and together with the Series B Notes, the “Senior Notes”) to specified Note Purchasers. The Series B Notes will bear interest at 2.5% per annum and will mature on November 15, 2027, unless earlier redeemed by the Company. The Series C Notes will bear interest at 2.69% per annum and will mature on November 15, 2030, unless earlier redeemed by the Company. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually beginning on May 15, 2021. The Company expects to use the proceeds from the Senior Notes to pay down $50.0 million in borrowings under the Company’s existing $150.0 million Credit Agreement.
