Executive Summary
Fastenal Company entered into a new $835M second amended and restated revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo as administrative agent, maturing June 18, 2031, replacing the prior $900M facility. Concurrently, the company amended its private placement master note agreement to reduce the facility size from $900M to $600M, remove Prudential as an investor group representative, and align financial covenants with the new bank credit agreement. These are routine refinancing and administrative actions that improve liquidity terms and extend maturity without material financial impact.
