<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">CLEVELAND, Monday, June&nbsp;24, 2024 &#151; Lincoln Electric Holdings, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) (Nasdaq: LECO) today announced that it has issued a new
series of senior unsecured private placement notes (collectively the &#147;Notes&#148;) in the aggregate principal amount of $550&nbsp;million. The proceeds of the Notes will be used to repay the Company&#146;s $400&nbsp;million term loan and for
general corporate purposes. In addition, the Company entered into a new revolving credit facility to provide up to $1&nbsp;billion of borrowing capacity, in alignment with the capital allocation priorities of the Company&#146;s Higher Standard 2025
Strategy. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company and certain of its subsidiaries issued senior unsecured private placement notes in the aggregate principal amount of
$550&nbsp;million consisting of: </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Series A: $75&nbsp;million at 5.55% per annum to mature August 2029 </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Series B: $75&nbsp;million at 5.62% per annum to mature August 2031 </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Series C: $400&nbsp;million at 5.74% per annum to mature June 2034 </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Notes may be prepaid at any time and interest will be paid semi-annually. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Following the completion of these transactions, the Company will have $1.25&nbsp;billion in total debt outstanding under the new and existing senior unsecured
private placement notes, with a weighted average interest rate, including the impact of interest rate swaps, of 4.08% and an average tenor of 9.5 years. The Company expects its full year 2024 &#145;interest expense, net&#146; position to be
relatively steady versus the prior year. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, the Company has terminated its 2021 $500&nbsp;million revolving credit facility and has entered
into a new five-year credit agreement for a $1&nbsp;billion revolving credit facility, which increases the Company&#146;s liquidity to align with higher EBITDA performance. The new revolving credit facility will initially bear interest on
outstanding borrowings at a per annum rate equal to SOFR plus 1.10% and could fluctuate based on the Company&#146;s total net leverage ratio at a spread ranging from SOFR plus 1.10% to SOFR plus 1.60%. The financial covenants consist of a maximum
net leverage ratio of 3.5x EBITDA and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.5x EBITDA. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under the new revolving credit facility at closing. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Notes were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;), or any state securities laws, and may not be
offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. The Notes were offered only to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the
Securities Act. </P>
