THIS SECOND AMENDMENT (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of December 6, 2024 by and among STANDEX INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), CITIZENS BANK, N.A., a national banking association, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and Lender, and the other Lenders party hereto. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.
R E C I T A L S
WHEREAS, Administrative Agent, Citizens Bank, N.A., as Multicurrency Administrative Agent, Bank of America, N.A., as Co‑Syndication Agent, Joint Lead Arranger and Joint Book Runner, TD Bank, N.A., as Co‑Syndication Agent, Joint Lead Arranger and Joint Book Runner, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Co-Documentation Agent and Truist Bank, as Co Documentation Agent, Borrower, and the Lenders have previously entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of February 2, 2023, as amended by a First Amendment dated October 28, 2024 (the “Credit Agreement”);
WHEREAS, from and after the Second Amendment Effective Date (as defined below), Truist Bank shall be a Co-Syndication Agent, and Truist Securities, Inc. shall be a Joint Lead Arranger and Joint Book Runner;
WHEREAS, PNC Bank, National Association and The Huntington National Bank (collectively, the “New Lenders”) are being added as Lenders under the Credit Agreement, with PNC Bank, National Association also being added as a Co-Documentation Agent;
WHEREAS, Borrower has requested an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment of $325,000,000.00, which the Lenders acknowledge is greater than the maximum amount set forth in Section 2.01(b) of the Credit Agreement, and Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed to such changes pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual benefits to be derived by Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and Lenders from a continuing relationship under the Credit Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
A. Amendments to Credit Agreement.
1. The following defined term appearing in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
“Initial Revolving Credit Commitment” means an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name on Schedule 2.01 under the caption “Initial Revolving Credit Commitment” or opposite such caption in the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Lender becomes a party hereto, as applicable, as such amount may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with this Agreement. The aggregate Initial Revolving Credit Commitments on the Second Amendment Effective Date is $825,000,000.00.
2. The following new defined term is hereby added to Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement:
“Second Amendment Effective Date” means December 6, 2024.
3. Section 2.01(b)(1) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(b) Increase of Initial Revolving Credit Commitments. (1) From and after the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request that the Initial Revolving Credit Commitment be increased by an amount (the “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment”) not to exceed $250,000,000.00, in the aggregate, for all such increases from the Closing Date until the date that is 180 days prior to the Maturity Date; provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such request and on the date of any such increase. The Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of such request to each Lender. The Borrower shall set forth in such request the amount of the requested increase in the Initial Revolving Credit Commitment (which shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000.00 and in minimum increments thereafter of $5,000,000.00) and the date on which such increase is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice and that, in any event, must be at least 180 days prior to the Maturity Date), and shall offer each Lender the opportunity to increase its Initial Revolving Credit Commitment by its Applicable Percentage of the proposed increased amount. Each Lender shall, by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent given not more than 10 days after the date of delivery by the Administrative Agent of the Borrower’s request referred to above, either agree to increase its Initial Revolving Credit Commitment by all or a portion of the offered amount (each such Lender so agreeing being an “Increasing Lender”) or decline to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment (and any such Lender that does not deliver such a notice within such period of 10 days shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Commitment and each Lender so declining or being deemed to have declined being a “Non-Increasing Lender”). If on the 10th day after the Administrative Agent shall have delivered a copy of a request by the Borrower as set forth above, the Increasing Lenders shall have agreed pursuant to the preceding sentence to increase their Initial Revolving Credit Commitments by an aggregate amount less than the increase in the Initial Revolving Credit Commitment so requested by the Borrower, the Borrower may arrange for one or more banks or other entities that are Eligible Assignees, in each case reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (each such Person so agreeing being an “Augmenting Lender”), to commit to making Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to a Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder in an amount no less than $10,000,000.00, and the Borrower and each Augmenting Lender shall execute all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence such Augmenting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and/or its status as a Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder. Any increase in the Initial Revolving Credit Commitment may be made in an amount that is less than the increase requested by the Borrower if the Borrower is unable to arrange for, or chooses not to arrange for, Augmenting Lenders.
4. Schedule 2.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety by Schedule 2.01 attached herewith.
B. Representations and Warranties. Borrower represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and the Lenders that: (a) Borrower has the full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, (b) the execution and delivery of this Amendment have been duly authorized by all necessary action on behalf of Borrower; and (c) the representations and warranties contained or referred to in Article V of the Credit Agreement are true and accurate in all material respects as of the date of this Amendment, unless such representations or warranties specifically refer to a prior date; and (d) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will result after giving effect to this Amendment and the transactions contemplated by this Amendment and the Credit Agreement.
C. New Lenders. Each of the New Lenders hereby agrees, as to itself, that by execution of this Amendment and delivery of this Amendment to the Administrative Agent, effective as of the Second Amendment Effective Date, such New Lender shall be deemed to be a Lender under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, effective as of the Second Amendment Effective Date, (i) each New Lender shall comply with, and be subject to, and have the benefit of, all of the terms, conditions, covenants, agreements and obligations set forth in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) each New Lender hereby makes each representation and warranty required from such Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents.
D. Other.
1. This Amendment shall take effect as of the Effective Date upon:
(a) the receipt by the Administrative Agent of this Amendment duly executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and Lenders;
(b) the receipt by the Administrative Agent of Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Notes in favor of each Lender (excluding the New Lenders) increasing their Revolving Credit Commitment in the maximum principal amount of their increased Revolving Credit Commitment upon giving effect to this Amendment (collectively, the “Restated Notes”) and receipt by each New Lender that requests the same, a promissory note in the maximum principal amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment upon giving effect to this Amendment (the “New Lender Notes”; collectively with the Restated Notes, the “Subject Notes”);
(c) the receipt by the Administrative Agent of evidence that the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans extended as of the date of this Amendment shall fully satisfy all outstanding obligations under the 2024 Acquisition Credit Facility;
(d) payment of all fees owing pursuant to the Engagement Letter dated September 26, 2024, as modified;
(e) evidence of the authority of the Borrower to execute and deliver this Amendment and the Subject Notes and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder; and
(f) payment of all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent’s counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Second Amendment.
2. This Amendment is executed as an instrument under seal and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflicts of law rules. All parts of the Credit Agreement not affected by this Amendment are hereby ratified and affirmed in all respects, provided that if any provision of the Credit Agreement shall conflict or be inconsistent with this Amendment, the terms of this Amendment shall supersede and prevail. Upon the execution of this Amendment, all references to the Credit Agreement in that document, or in any related document, shall mean the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment. Except as expressly provided in this Amendment, the execution and delivery of this Amendment does not and will not amend, modify or supplement any provision of, or constitute a consent to or a waiver of any noncompliance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, and, except as specifically provided in this Amendment, the Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts with the same effect as if the signatures hereto and thereto were upon the same instrument.
[SIGNATURE PAGES FOLLOW]
