Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Amendment of Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility

On May 27, 2026, RPM International Inc. (the “Company”) amended its existing $300.0 million accounts receivable securitization facility (the “A/R Facility”) by entering into (i) Amendment No. 11 to Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 27, 2026 (the “RPA Amendment”), among the Company, RPM Funding Corporation, a special purpose entity (the “SPE”) whose voting interests are wholly owned by the Company, certain purchasers from time to time party thereto, PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and PNC Capital Markets LLC, as structuring agent, and (ii) Amendment No. 14 to Second Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of May 27, 2026 (the “RSA Amendment”, and together with the RPA Amendment, the “Amendments”), among certain subsidiaries of the Company (the “Originators”) and the SPE.

Among other things, the Amendments:

 

   

remove the credit spread adjustment for SOFR-based credit extensions;

 

   

eliminate the interest coverage ratio financial covenant;

 

   

clarify that the Applicable Margin (as defined in the RPA Amendment) applies to both SOFR-based and alternate-base-rate credit extensions, in accordance with the parties’ past practice;

 

   

add a leverage ratio financial covenant that the Company must comply with if the Company does not maintain an investment grade public debt rating with at least two specified rating agencies, which to the extent applicable requires that the Company not permit its leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of consolidated total indebtedness (less unencumbered cash and cash equivalents) to consolidated EBITDA for the four most recent fiscal quarters) as at the end of any fiscal quarter to exceed 3.75 to 1.0 (subject to adjustment as set forth in the RPA Amendment) (this financial test, to the extent applicable, is substantively identical to a similar covenant already contained in the Company’s revolving credit facility); and

 

   

conform the A/R Facility in certain other respects to the Company’s revolving credit facility, including increasing the judgment-based amortization event threshold from $150 million to $250 million and the material-indebtedness-based amortization event threshold from $150 million to $250 million for the Company and its subsidiaries (other than the Originators) and from $20 million to $50 million for any Originator.

The description contained herein of the Amendments is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendments, which will be filed as exhibits to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending May 31, 2026, and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On May 29, 2026, in connection with his planned retirement, Timothy R. Kinser resigned from his position as Vice President – Operations of the Company. Effective that same date, Mr. Kinser became Project Management Officer of RPM Enterprises, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company.
