Material Agreement, Financial Obligation, Termination of Material Agreement (Form 8-K)

On September 30, 2025 (the "Closing Date"), Crane Company (the "Company") entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), by and among the Company, as borrower, CR Holdings, C.V. ("CR Holdings"), a subsidiary of the Company, as a subsidiary borrower, the lenders and issuing banks party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPM"), as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement provides for a senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $900 million (the "Term Facility"), which matures on September 30, 2030, and a senior unsecured revolving facility in an aggregate committed amount of $900 million (the "Revolving Facility"), which matures on September 30, 2030. The Term Facility will be available to fund (together with cash on hand) the consummation of the Company's previously announced acquisition of Precision Sensors & Instrumentation (the "Acquisition"), as more fully described in the Company's Form 8-K(including the attachments and exhibits included therein) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 9, 2025.

In connection with the entry into the Credit Agreement, the Company's existing credit agreement, dated as of March 17, 2023, by and among the Company, CR Holdings, the lenders and issuing banks party thereto and JPM, as administrative agent, and the commitments thereunder, were terminated.

Borrowings made in U.S. dollars shall bear interest based, at the Company's option, (i) on an alternate base rate plus a margin as described below, or (ii) on a term SOFR rate plus a margin as described below. Borrowings made in Euros shall bear interest based on an adjusted EURIBOR rate plus a margin as described below. Borrowings made in Canadian Dollars shall bear interest based on an adjusted CORRA rate plus a margin as described below. The margin for each of the foregoing rates (other than the alternate base rate) ranges from 1.50% to 2.25% based on the Company's consolidated total net leverage ratio (the "Pricing Ratio"). The margin for alternate base rate borrowings ranges from 0.50% to 1.25% depending on the Pricing Ratio. A commitment fee on the daily unused portion of the commitments under the Revolving Facility will accrue at a rate per annum ranging from 0.20% to 0.35% depending on the Pricing Ratio. A ticking fee on the daily unused portion of the commitments under the Term Facility will accrue at a rate per annum ranging from 0.20% to 0.35% depending on the Pricing Ratio during the period from and including the date that is 90 days after the Closing Date until the earlier of (i) the date on which the delayed draw term loans under the Term Facility are funded (the "Term Facility Funding Date" and such loans, the "Term Loans") and (ii) the termination of all commitments under the Term Facility.

The obligations of the Company and CR Holdings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of the Company's wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to materiality thresholds and other exceptions and exclusions customary for credit facilities of this type.

Borrowings under the Term Facility are prepayable without premium or penalty, subject to customary reimbursement of breakage costs. The Company will be required to repay borrowings under the Term Facility on the last day of each fiscal quarter, commencing with the last day of the fifth full fiscal quarter ending after the Term Facility Funding Date (such day, the "Amortization Commencement Date"), in an amount equal to (i) with respect to the last day of each of the first through fourth full fiscal quarters ending on or after the Amortization Commencement Date, 0.625% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans made on the Term Facility Funding Date and (ii) thereafter, 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans made on the Term Facility Funding Date. The Revolving Facility is not subject to interim amortization.

The Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants customary for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on the Company and its subsidiaries with respect to indebtedness, liens, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of all or substantially all assets and transactions with affiliates. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, (i) a consolidated total net leverage ratio of no greater than 3.75 to 1.00, although such level may, at the Company's option, be increased by 0.25 upon the consummation of certain permitted acquisitions for certain periods and (ii) a consolidated interest coverage ratio of no greater than 3.00 to 1.00. The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, including failure to pay principal, interest or fees when due, failure to comply with covenants, any representation or warranty made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries being false in any material respect, default under certain other material indebtedness, certain insolvency events affecting the Company or any of its material subsidiaries, certain ERISA events, material judgments and a change in control, in each case, subject to cure periods and thresholds where customary.
