Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. On September 16, 2019, Snap-on Incorporated (“Snap-on”) entered into a five-year, $800 million multi-currency revolving credit facility that terminates on September 16, 2024 (the “New Facility”). The New Facility amends and restates in its entirety Snap-on’s previous $700 million multi-currency revolving credit facility that was set to terminate on December 15, 2020. As of September 16, 2019, no amounts were outstanding under either facility. Borrowings under the New Facility will bear interest at varying rates based on either (i)  Snap-on’s then-current, long-term debt ratings; or (ii)  Snap-on’s then-current ratio of consolidated debt net of certain cash adjustments (“Consolidated Net Debt”) to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain other adjustments for the preceding four fiscal quarters then ended (the “Consolidated Net Debt to EBITDA Ratio”). The interest rate on borrowings under the New Facility will initially be the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 81 basis points. The New Facility requires Snap-on to maintain compliance with various covenants, including, as of each fiscal quarter end, either (i) a ratio not greater than 0.60 to 1.00 of Consolidated Net Debt to the sum of Consolidated Net Debt plus total equity and less accumulated other comprehensive income or loss (the “Leverage Ratio”); or (ii) a Consolidated Net Debt to EBITDA Ratio not greater than 3.50 to 1.00. Snap-on may, up to two times during any five-year period during the term of the New Facility (including any extensions thereof), elect to increase the maximum Leverage Ratio to 0.65 to 1.00 and/or increase the maximum Consolidated Net Debt to EBITDA Ratio to 4.00 to 1.00 for four consecutive fiscal quarters in connection with certain material acquisitions.
