Summary
The Sherwin-Williams Company (SHW) filed an 8-K on November 28, 2022, primarily to announce an amendment to its Credit Agreement. Specifically, Amendment No. 18 to the Credit Agreement extends the maturity date of $100 million in borrowing commitments and revolving letter of credit facilities. These facilities will now mature on December 20, 2027, an extension from the previous December 20, 2022, maturity date.
