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 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.

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.
