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

Carlisle Companies Incorporated (the “Company”) previously disclosed that it entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 5, 2020, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and a bank, and the other banks that are parties thereto, which provides the Company a $1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility with a maturity date of February 5, 2025 (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”).

On March 20, 2020, the Company elected to borrow $250 million under the Revolving Credit Agreement and on March 24, 2020, the Company elected to borrow an additional $250 million under the Revolving Credit Agreement. As of the date of this filing, the Company has $500 million available under the Revolving Credit Agreement. The Company borrowed funds under the Revolving Credit Agreement in order to increase cash on hand and enhance its financial flexibility in light of current uncertainty in global markets resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak. The proceeds from the borrowings are available to refinance existing indebtedness, to make acquisitions and other similar investments, for capital expenditures and working capital and for other general corporate purposes.
