Entry into a M aterial D efinitive A greement



 

 



 

On February 23, 2018, WD-40 Company Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of WD-40 Company, (the “Acquiring Subsidiary”) entered into and simultaneously consummated a Contract for the Sale of 252 Upper Third Street, Milton Keynes, MK9 1NP dated as of February 23, 2018 (the “Purchase Contract”) with BCP (Milton Keynes) LLP (the “Seller”).  The Purchase Contract provided for the Acquiring Subsidiary’s acquisition of certain real property, consisting of approximately 0.25 acres of land and a building comprising of approximately 22,500 square feet of office space located at 252 Upper Third Street, Milton Keynes, England (the “Property”).

 

The purchase price for the Property was approximately $ 7.4 million 1 , local stamp tax inclusive, but exclusive of recoverable value added tax. The Acquiring Subsidiary funded the purchase price from existing cash balances. The Purchase Contract includes customary warranties of title relating to the Property.

 

The Acquiring Subsidiary expects to incur approximately $ 7.0 million 1 in capital costs related to the buildout of the acquired building and for the purchase of new furniture, fixtures and equipment. Following relocation of the Acquiring Subsidiary’s offices to the new building, the Acquiring Subsidiary will continue to utilize its company-owned facility at Brick Close, Kiln Farm, Milton Keynes, England to manufacture concentrate for its WD-40 brand products and for warehousing purposes. Completion of the improvements and occupancy of the Property by employees based at the Brick Close property is expected to occur by June 2019.  The Acquiring Subsidiary will also vacate and relocate office personnel to the new Property from leased office space at Manor Farm, Old Wolverton Road, Milton Keynes, England prior to termination of the lease for the Manor Farm offices. The lease for the Manor Farm offices will be terminated on September 30, 2019.

 

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

 

On February 23, 2018, WD-40 Company (the “Company”) entered into a first amendment (the “First Amendment”) to its existing Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement dated November 15, 2017 (as so amended, the “Note Agreement”) by and among the Company, PGIM, Inc. (“Prudential”), and certain affiliates and managed accounts of Prudential (the “Note Purchasers”).  The First Amendment amends the Note Agreement to permit the Company (inclusive of its subsidiaries) to spend an aggregate amount not to exceed $15.0 million for the acquisition and improvement costs for the Property through the end of the Company’s fiscal year 2019.  Per the terms of the First Amendment, amounts incurred for the acquisition of and improvements to the Property will not reduce the amount of permitted Consolidated Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Note Agreement) which is $7.5 million for any fiscal year plus an amount not to exceed $2.5 million for unused permitted expenditures carried over from prior fiscal years.

 

On February 23, 2018, the Company entered into a sixth amendment (the “Sixth Amendment”) to its existing unsecured Credit Agreement dated June 17, 2011 (as amended by the first amendment dated January 7, 2013, the second amendment dated May 13, 2015, the third amendment dated November 16, 2015, the fourth amendment dated September 1, 2016, the fifth amendment dated November 15, 2017, and the Sixth Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”).  The Sixth Amendment amends the Credit Agreement to permit the Company (inclusive of its subsidiaries) to spend an aggregate amount not to exceed $15.0 million for the acquisition and improvement costs for the Property through the end of the Company’s fiscal year 2019.  Per the terms of the Sixth Amendment, amounts incurred for the acquisition of and improvements to the Property will not reduce the amount of

 

 

1   Amounts have been converted from Pound Sterling to U.S. Dollars at the exchange rate of $ 1.3966 per Pound Sterling as of February 23, 2018.

 


 



 

permitted Consolidated Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Credit Agreement) which is $7.5 million for any fiscal year plus an amount not to exceed $2.5 million for unused permitted expenditures carried over from prior fiscal years.  The Sixth Amendment also permits the Company to incur an additional $15.0 million of indebtedness under the Note Agreement by issuance and sale of Shelf Notes (as defined in the Note Agreement) pursuant to the Note Agreement .



 

All other material terms included in the Note Agreement and the Credit Agreement remain unchanged as a result of execution of the First Amendment to the Note Agreement and the Sixth Amendment to the Credit Agreement.  No determination has been made as to whether the Company will issue and sell the additional $15.0 million in Shelf Notes pursuant to the Note Agreement.  Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will continue to be used for the Company’s stock repurchases and general working capital needs .
