Material Agreement Form 8 K

On June 26, 2024, Avery Dennison Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), as borrower, entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), with a syndicate of lenders party thereto; Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as administrative agent; Mizuho Bank, Ltd. and Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agents; and Citibank, N.A., as documentation agent. The Credit Agreement refinances the Company's Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of February 13, 2020, as amended to date.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company may borrow up to an aggregate of $1.2 billion in revolving loans (the "Loans"). At the discretion of the lenders and subject to certain customary requirements, the commitments under the Credit Agreement may be increased by up to an aggregate of $600 million upon the Company's request. The Credit Agreement's maturity date is June 26, 2029; however, under certain circumstances, the Company may request that the commitments thereunder be extended for one-yearperiods as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

Any Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company's option, (a) at the base rate or (b) (i) Term SOFR for borrowings denominated in U.S. Dollars, (ii) SONIA for borrowings denominated in Sterling, and (iii) Alternative Currency Term Rate (which is EURIBOR for borrowings denominated in Euros or such benchmark reference rate with respect to any other currency (other than Euros, Sterling, or U.S. Dollars) as approved by the Administrative Agent), in each case, plus an applicable per annum margin. The applicable per annum margin is determined based on the Company's debt ratings in accordance with a pricing grid, with the per annum margin for base rate borrowings ranging from 0.000% to 0.300% and the per annum margin for Term SOFR or Alterative Currency Loans ranging from 0.795% to 1.300%. Fees payable for the revolving commitments under the Credit Agreement, whether used or unused, are also determined based on the Company's debt ratings in accordance with a pricing grid, with the per annum percentage ranging from 0.080% to 0.200%. The terms "Alternative Currency Term Rate", "EURIBOR", "SONIA", and "Term SOFR" are defined in the Credit Agreement and have meanings customary for similar financings of this type.

The Loans may, at the Company's option, be prepaid in whole or in part without premium or penalty (subject to breakage costs for loans other than Base Rate loans) and the Company may reduce or terminate the commitments of the lenders to make the Loans.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including without limitation, on mergers, asset sales, liens, investments, and subsidiary indebtedness. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a maximum leverage ratio (calculated as a ratio of consolidated debt minus unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries in excess of $50 million to consolidated EBITDA) of not more than 3.50 to 1.00; provided that, in the event of an acquisition by the Company that exceeds $250 million, the maximum leverage ratio shall be increased to 4.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter in which such acquisition occurs and the period of three consecutive fiscal quarters immediately following such fiscal quarter.

The summary of the Credit Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and conditions contained in the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
