Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On September 26, 2019, WESCO International, Inc. (the “Company”), WESCO Distribution, Inc. (“WESCO Distribution”) and certain other subsidiaries of the Company entered into a US$600 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), as a replacement of its existing revolving credit facility, and the Revolving Credit Facility contains a letter of credit sub-facility of up to US$125 million, pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of September 26, 2019 (the “Credit Agreement”) among WESCO Distribution, the other U.S. borrowers party thereto (collectively, the “U.S. Borrowers”), WESCO Distribution Canada LP (“WESCO Canada”), the other Canadian borrowers party thereto (collectively, the “Canadian Borrowers”), the Company, the joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers party thereto, the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Toronto Branch, as Canadian Administrative Agent. The Revolving Credit Facility contains an accordion feature allowing WESCO Distribution to request increases to the borrowing commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility of up to US$200 million in the aggregate, subject to customary conditions. The Revolving Credit Facility replaces WESCO Distribution’s existing revolving credit facility entered into on September 24, 2015.
The Revolving Credit Facility matures in September 2024 and is collateralized by (i) substantially all assets of WESCO Distribution and its subsidiaries which are party to the Credit Agreement, other than, among other things, real property and accounts receivable sold or intended to be sold pursuant to WESCO Distribution’s accounts receivable securitization facility (the “Receivables Facility”), and (ii) substantially all assets of WESCO Canada and the other Canadian Borrowers, other than, among other things, real property, in each case, subject to customary exceptions and limitations. The obligations of WESCO Distribution and the other U.S. Borrowers under the Revolving Credit Facility have been guaranteed by the Company and certain of WESCO Distribution’s subsidiaries. The obligations of WESCO Canada and the other Canadian Borrowers under the Revolving Credit Facility have been guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of WESCO Canada and the other Canadian Borrowers. The applicable interest rate for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility includes interest rate spreads based on available borrowing capacity that range between 1.25% and 1.50% for LIBOR-based borrowings and 0.25% and 0.50% for prime rate-based borrowings.
The Credit Agreement requires compliance with conditions precedent that must be satisfied prior to any borrowing as well as ongoing compliance with certain customary affirmative and negative covenants. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default. In addition, the Company will be subject to a limit on the ratio of the amount of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA to the Company’s fixed charges if certain excess availability thresholds are not satisfied or certain events of default exist. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the commitments of the lenders may be terminated, and all outstanding obligations of the loan parties under the Revolving Credit Facility may be declared immediately due and payable.
Certain of the agents and the lenders under the Credit Agreement have in the past provided, are currently providing and may in the future provide advisory and lending services to, or engage in transactions with, the Company and its subsidiaries or affiliates (including through certain subsidiaries or affiliates of such agents and lenders). The agents and the lenders have received, and may in the future receive, customary compensation from the Company and its subsidiaries or affiliates for such services and in respect of such transactions.
The foregoing is a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and not a complete discussion of the document. Accordingly, the foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Amendment to Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility
On September 26, 2019, WESCO Distribution amended its Receivables Facility pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Ninth Amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 26, 2019 (the “Receivables Amendment”), by and among WESCO Receivables Corp. (“WESCO Receivables”), WESCO Distribution, the various purchaser groups from time to time party thereto and PNC Bank, National Association, as Administrator. The Receivables Amendment amends the amended and restated receivables purchase agreement entered into on September 24, 2015 (the “Existing Receivables Purchase Agreement” and as amended by the Receivables Amendment, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”).
The Receivables Amendment increases the purchase limit under the Existing Receivables Purchase Agreement from $550 million to $600 million, with the opportunity to exercise an accordion feature which permits increases in the purchase

limit of up to $200 million, extends the term of the Receivables Facility to September 26, 2022 and adds and amends certain defined terms. The interest rate spread and commitment fee of the Receivables Facility remains 0.95% and 0.45%, respectively.
Certain of the purchasers under the Receivables Purchase Agreement have in the past provided, are currently providing and may in the future provide advisory and lending services to, or engage in transactions with, the Company and its subsidiaries or affiliates (including through certain subsidiaries or affiliates of such agents and lenders). The purchasers have received, and may in the future receive, customary compensation from the Company and its subsidiaries or affiliates for such services and in respect of such transactions.
The foregoing is a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Receivables Purchase Agreement and not a complete discussion of the document.
