Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously announced on July 25, 2007 and reported on Form 8-K, the Board of Directors of
Lennox International Inc. (the Company) approved a new share repurchase plan for $500 million,
pursuant to which the Company plans to repurchase shares of its common stock, par value $.01 per
share, through open market-purchases (the 2007 Share Repurchase Plan). The 2007 Share Repurchase
Plan terminates and replaces the share repurchase plan approved by the Companys Board in September
2005.
In connection with the 2007 Share Repurchase Plan, on August 3, 2007, the Company entered into
the Third Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the Credit
Facility Amendment) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders
named therein. The Credit Facility Amendment amends certain financial covenants contained in the
Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility Agreement to provide flexibility for the
larger share repurchases under the 2007 Share Repurchase Plan.
The Credit Facility Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto. The foregoing description of
the Credit Facility Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the full text of the Credit Facility Amendment, which is incorporated by reference
herein.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
In connection with the 2007 Share Repurchase Plan, on August 3, 2007, the Company also entered
into amendments to (1) its Note Purchase Agreements, each dated as of December 1, 1993 or April 3,
1998, between the Company and various private placement lenders and (2) a Master Shelf Agreement,
dated as of October 15, 1999, between the Company and The Prudential Insurance Company of America.
The amendments amend certain financial covenants contained in these agreements to provide
flexibility for the larger share repurchases under the 2007 Share Repurchase Plan.
On August 3, 2007, the Company entered into a written trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the 10b5-1 Plan), to facilitate share repurchases
under the 2007 Share Repurchase Plan. The 10b5-1 Plan becomes effective on September 4, 2007 and
terminates on February 8, 2008.
