Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility

On November 4, 2024, Vulcan Materials Company (“Vulcan”, “we”, “our” or “us”) entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Truist Bank, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and the lenders (the “Lenders”), and other parties named therein. The Credit Agreement provides for a $2.0 billion 2-year delayed draw term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) that will be used to fund, among other things, the previously announced acquisition of Wake Stone Corporation.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default. The primary negative covenant is a limitation on secured debt, and the financial covenant is a maximum debt to EBITDA ratio of 3.50 to 1.00 (with a permitted ratio of 4.00 to 1.00 for four fiscal quarters ending after the consummation of certain material acquisitions).

Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest, at our option, at either (i) Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin ranging from 1.000% to 1.625% based on our credit ratings for senior, unsecured, long-term indebtedness or (ii) a base rate (which is equal to the highest of (a) the Administrative Agent’s prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (c) Adjusted Term SOFR for a one-month period, plus 1.00%) plus a margin ranging from 0.000% to 0.625% based on our credit ratings for senior, unsecured, long-term indebtedness.

Certain of the Lenders and their affiliates have provided from time to time, and may continue to provide, investment banking, commercial banking, financial and other services to us for which we have paid, and intend to pay, customary fees.

The foregoing description of the Term Loan Facility does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Credit Agreement, a copy which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Amendment to Revolving Credit Facility

On November 4, 2024, Vulcan entered into a Fifth Amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”) to its credit agreement, dated September 10, 2020 (as subsequently amended, the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), with Truist Bank, as administrative agent, and the lenders (collectively, the “Revolving Credit Lenders”), and other parties named therein. The Fifth Amendment, among other things, extends the maturity date from August 8, 2027 to November 4**,** 2029, with two one-year extension options. Proceeds of borrowings may be used for general corporate purposes.

As of the date hereof, the net amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Agreement is approximately $1,504.8 million, reflecting utilization of $95.2 million used to provide support for outstanding standby letters of credit.

Certain of the Revolving Credit Lenders and their affiliates have provided from time to time, and may continue to provide, investment banking, commercial banking, financial and other services to us for which we have paid, and intend to pay, customary fees.

The foregoing description of the Fifth Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Fifth Amendment, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

The information contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
