    Item 1.01

    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

    364-Day Credit Agreement

    On June 23, 2025, Stanley Black & Decker, Inc., a Connecticut corporation (the “Company”), entered into a 364-Day Credit Agreement (the “364-Day Credit Agreement”) with each of the initial lenders named therein, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, Citibank, N.A., BofA Securities, Inc., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as lead arrangers and book runners, and Bank of America, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as syndication agents. The 364-Day Credit Agreement consists of a $1.25 billion revolving credit loan, which may be drawn by the Company and its subsidiaries which are designated as Designated Borrowers under the 364-Day Credit Agreement (each, a “364 Borrower”). The Company guarantees its obligations and the obligations of each 364 Borrower under the 364-Day Credit Agreement.

    Borrowings under the 364-Day Credit Agreement may be made in U.S. Dollars or Euros, pursuant to the terms of the 364-Day Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the 364-Day Credit Agreement bear interest at rates equal to, at the option of the Company, the Base Rate, the EURIBO Rate or Term SOFR (as such terms are defined in the 364-Day Credit Agreement) plus the applicable margin specified in the 364-Day Credit Agreement.

    The Company must repay all advances under the 364-Day Credit Agreement by the earlier of (i) June 22, 2026 or (ii) the date of termination in whole, at the election of the Company, of the commitments by the lenders under the 364-Day Credit Agreement (the “364 Termination Date”). The Company may, however, convert all advances outstanding on the 364 Termination Date into a term loan (“Term Loan”), provided that the Company, among other things, pays a fee to the administrative agent for the account of each lender. The Term Loan shall be repaid in full no later than the first anniversary of the 364 Termination Date.

    Each 364 Borrower may prepay advances, subject to the terms and conditions of the 364-Day Credit Agreement. In addition, upon a change of control, the Company may be required to prepay any borrowings under the 364-Day Credit Agreement upon request of the lenders holding at least a majority of the commitments under the 364-Day Credit Agreement.

    The proceeds under the 364-Day Credit Agreement may be used solely for general corporate purposes. None of the proceeds from the 364-Day Credit Agreement were drawn down at closing.

    The 364-Day Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants that include, among other things:

     

      •  

    maintenance of an interest coverage ratio;

     

      •  

    a limitation on creating liens on certain property of the Company and its subsidiaries;

     

      •  

    a restriction on mergers, consolidations, liquidations or sales of substantially all of the assets of the Company or its subsidiaries; and

     

      •  

    a restriction on entering into certain sale-leaseback transactions.

    The Company must maintain, for each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Company, an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.50 to 1.00, provided that the Company is only required to maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.50 to 1.00 for any four fiscal quarter period ending on or before the end of the Company’s second fiscal quarter of 2026. For purposes of calculating the Company’s compliance with the interest coverage ratio, the Company is permitted to increase EBITDA by an amount equal to the Applicable Adjustment Addbacks (as defined in the 364-Day Credit Agreement), provided that the sum of the Applicable Adjustment Addbacks incurred in any four consecutive fiscal quarter periods ending on or before the end of the Company’s second fiscal quarter of 2026 shall not exceed $250,000,000 in the aggregate.

    The 364-Day Credit Agreement contains customary events of default. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Company may be required to repay all amounts outstanding under the 364-Day Credit Agreement.

    The description contained herein is a summary of certain material terms of the 364-Day Credit Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 364-Day Credit Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
