As of October 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants. On February 1, 2023, the Company amended its credit agreements to transition the interest rates applicable to the loans denominated in U.S. dollars from LIBOR to SOFR, as defined in the credit agreements. Term Loan Agreement on December 17, 2021 On December 17, 2021, the Company entered into a Term Loan Agreement (the 2021 Credit Agreement) by and among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent. The 2021 Credit Agreement provides for a term loan facility (the 2021 Term Loan Facility) in an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion, which, unless terminated earlier, matures on December 17, 2026. In addition, the Company has the ability from time to time to request an increase to the commitments under the 2021 Term Loan Facility or to establish a new term loan facility under the 2021 Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $1.125 billion, upon prior written notice to the administrative agent and subject to the discretionary participation of the lenders funding such term loans and certain limitations set forth in the 2021 Credit Agreement. Amounts outstanding under the 2021 Term Loan Facility will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either (i) the alternate base rate, which is a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the administrative agent’s prime rate, (b) one-half of one percent in excess of the federal funds effective rate and (c) one percent in excess of the adjusted SOFR for a one-month interest period in effect on such day, or (ii) the adjusted SOFR, plus, in each case, an applicable rate of, initially, zero basis points, in respect of base rate loans, and 75 basis points, in respect of adjusted SOFR loans. Following a specified period after the closing date, the applicable rates will be determined quarterly by reference to a grid based upon the Company’s ratio of consolidated net indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA, each as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement. The Company may prepay loan balances from time to time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (other than any related breakage costs). On October 31, 2023, the Company had $1.5 billion outstanding on the 2021 Term Loan Facility and the weighted-average interest rate was 6.41%. The 2021 Credit Agreement contains customary restrictive covenants, as well as financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a certain Total Leverage Ratio and Interest Coverage Ratio, each as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement, consistent with the 2020 Credit Agreement discussed below. Term Loan Agreement on November 2, 2021 On November 2, 2021, the Company entered into a 364-day, $840.0 million, term loan agreement by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto and The Bank of Nova Scotia, as administrative agent, which matured subsequent to year end on November 1, 2022.

The Company has an uncommitted option to increase the revolving credit facility or establish a new term loan in an aggregate amount up to $1.605 billion. On October 30, 2020, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the 2020 Credit Agreement, adding CooperVision International Limited as a revolving borrower and releasing certain borrowers in the 2020 Credit Agreement. On December 17, 2021, the Company entered into Amendment No.2 to the 2020 Credit Agreement, modifying the 2020 Credit Agreement by, among other things, adding CooperSurgical Holdings Limited as a revolving borrower, releasing CooperVision Holding Kft as a borrower, and updating the benchmark replacement language in the 2020 Credit Agreement. The 2020 Credit Agreement will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either the alternate base rate, or the adjusted SOFR, or adjusted foreign currency rate, plus, in each case, an applicable rate of between 0.00% and 0.50% in respect of base rate loans, and between 0.75% and 1.50% in respect of adjusted SOFR or adjusted foreign currency rate loans, in each case in accordance with a pricing grid tied to the Total Leverage Ratio, as defined in the 2020 Credit Agreement. The Company may borrow, repay and re-borrow amounts available under the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to voluntary reduction of the revolving commitment. The Company pays an annual commitment fee that ranges from 0.10% to 0.20% of the unused portion of the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility based upon the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio, as defined in the 2020 Credit Agreement.
