US Stock IR Daily – September 29, 2026 (3 reports)

• On September 24, 2026, The Sherwin-Williams Company entered into a new 364-day senior unsecured Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”).
• The New Credit Agreement provides for a $750 million US dollar-denominated senior unsecured term loan that will mature on September 23, 2027.
• In connection with entering into the New Credit Agreement, Sherwin-Williams repaid and terminated its existing 364-day senior unsecured delayed draw Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of August 8, 2025.
• Extensions of credit under the New Credit Agreement may be used to refinance the Existing Credit Agreement and for general corporate purposes, including to finance working capital requirements.
• The New Credit Agreement includes a financial covenant stating that Sherwin-Williams’ consolidated leverage ratio may not exceed 3.75 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, with a temporary increase to 4.25 to 1.00 allowed for four consecutive fiscal quarters following a “Qualifying Acquisition.”

Sherwin-Williams’ execution of a new term loan credit agreement, while simultaneously terminating its existing one, suggests an active approach to managing its capital structure. This move may indicate the company is optimizing its financing terms for general corporate purposes and working capital needs, aligning with current market conditions. The inclusion of a leverage ratio covenant, with a provision for temporary increases during qualifying acquisitions, could signal the company’s intent to maintain financial discipline while retaining flexibility for strategic growth initiatives.
