Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

AZZ Inc. (the "Company") has prepared presentation materials (the "Presentation Materials") that management intends to use from time to time on and after November 12, 2020 in presentations about the Company's performance and operations. The Company may use the Presentation Materials in presentations to current and potential investors, lenders, creditors, insurers, vendors, customers, employees and others with an interest in the Company and its business. A copy of the Presentation Materials is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference into this Item 7.01.

The information in the Presentation Materials is summary information that should be considered within the context of the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other public announcements that the Company may make by press release or otherwise from time to time. The Presentation Materials speak as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K ("Current Report"). While the Company may elect to update the Presentation Materials in the future to reflect events and circumstances occurring or existing after the date of this Current Report, the Company specifically disclaims any obligation to do so.

The information in this Item 7.01 is being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. The information in this Item 7.01 shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On November 10, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a $100 million share repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may repurchase its issued and outstanding common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “2020 Share Repurchase Program”). Repurchases under the 2020 Share Repurchase Program will be made through open market and/or private transactions, in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, and could include repurchases pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, which allows stock repurchases when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so.

The 2020 Share Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock or to acquire the shares during any particular timetable. The exact number of shares purchased and timing of such purchases, will be determined from time to time at the discretion of the Company. There can be no assurance of repurchases, as they depend upon a variety of factors including: changes in market conditions and economic circumstances; availability of acquisition opportunities; available funds in compliance with the Company’s financial covenants; the market price of the Company’s common stock; and the suspension or discontinuation of the 2020 Share Repurchase Program, among others.

On November 12, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing the 2020 Share Repurchase Program, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
