Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 2, 2017, The Valspar Corporation (“Valspar”) entered into supplemental indentures to the indentures governing its 7.250% Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”), 4.200% Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”), 3.300% Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”), 3.950% Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and 4.400% Notes due 2045 (the “2045 Notes” and, collectively with the 2019 Notes, the 2022 Notes, the 2025 Notes and the 2026 Notes, the “Existing Notes”) following, as applicable, the receipt of consents from the requisite holders of each series of Existing Notes by The Sherwin-Williams Company, on behalf of Valspar. The supplemental indentures to the indentures governing the Existing Notes eliminated certain of the covenants, restrictive provisions and events of default relating to the Existing Notes.
