Item 8.01 Other Events.

On May 14, 2021, Land entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and the lenders named therein, providing for a delayed draw term loan facility with commitments thereunder in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $486.8 million, maturing in August 2023 (which we refer to as the "DDTL Facility"). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings provided in the DDTL Facility. Subject to satisfaction of the conditions therein, the DDTL Facility may only be drawn in connection with the consummation of the Proposed Transaction in order to fund the payment to Rexnord LLC under the Separation Agreement. The loans under the DDTL Facility will bear interest at floating rates measured by reference to either, at Land's option, (i) a reserve-adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate plus an applicable margin or (ii) a base rate, plus an applicable margin, in each case, determined by reference to a consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio. Upon the effectiveness of the DDTL Facility, the Land Commitment Letter and the commitments thereunder were terminated. No amounts may be drawn under the DDTL Facility until the Regal Acquisition Closing Date. Regal has agreed to indemnify Rexnord and Land and their subsidiaries with respect to certain aspects of the DDTL Facility.

It is expected that the proceeds of the DDTL Facility will be used in a single drawing on the date of the Distributions to pay Rexnord LLC under the Separation Agreement. The commitments of the Lenders to make the loans pursuant to the DDTL Facility are subject to various customary conditions. If the Proposed Transaction is consummated, the indebtedness contemplated by the DDTL Facility will become indebtedness of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Regal.

The foregoing description of the DDTL Facility does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the DDTL, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.





Forward-Looking Statements

This communication contains certain "forward-looking statements" including statements regarding the anticipated timing and benefits of the transactions with Regal. The words "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intends," "may," "might," "plan," "possible," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," "would" and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on Rexnord's current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects, but there can be no assurance that these will be as anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the control of Rexnord) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others: the inability to complete the Proposed Transaction; the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Transaction, including due to the failure to receive required security holder approvals, or the failure of other closing conditions; and costs related to the Proposed Transaction. Except as required by law, Rexnord does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
