ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On July 14, 2020, Briggs & Stratton Corporation (the “Company”), Briggs & Stratton AG (“B&S AG”) and certain other subsidiaries of the Company entered into an Amendment No. 6 to Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) among the Company, B&S AG, the other loan parties party thereto, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Agent”). The Amendment amends the Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of September 27, 2019, among the Company, B&S AG, the other subsidiary borrowers from time to time party thereto, the lenders and issuing banks from time to time party thereto and the Agent (such agreement, as previously amended, the “Existing Credit Agreement”, and the Existing Credit Agreement as amended by the Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”). The Amendment amends the Existing Credit Agreement to, among other things:

revise the event of default respecting approval of a permitted junior debt financing, equity issuance and/or real property sale-leaseback transaction to require such a transaction to have its proposed terms and conditions approved by the required lenders and the Agent, and to be closed, effective and fully funded on such approved terms, in each case on or before July 19, 2020;
provide for all borrowings by the Company to bear interest based on the base rate instead of LIBOR; and
waive the occurrence of any cross-default that would otherwise arise due to the Company’s non-payment of interest on its 6.875% senior notes due 2020 on July 15, 2020, unless the note holders take certain enforcement actions as a result of such non-payment.

On July 14, 2020, after the effectiveness of the Amendment, the Company and its subsidiaries had $271.3 million of borrowings and $50.1 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement. As a result, availability under the Credit Agreement was $65.6 million as of July 14, 2020.

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

ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.

On July 13, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company approved changes to the titles of certain of its executive officers to more closely align with their respective roles and responsibilities in connection with the Company's previously-announced strategic repositioning. Among the changes approved:

David J. Rodgers has been named Senior Vice President Corporate Development & President – Job Site.
William H. Reitman has been named Senior Vice President Sales – Americas Turf & Consumer Products.

No changes were made to any compensatory arrangements with Messrs. Rodgers and Reitman in connection with the changes to their titles.

ITEM 7.01. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

Interest Payment Default

2

BRIGGS & STRATTON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
As previously reported, the Company, with the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company, chose not to make an interest payment of $6.7 million due on June 15, 2020 with respect to the Company’s outstanding 6.875% senior notes due 2020 (the “Notes”) and, as provided for in the indenture governing the Notes (the “Indenture”), entered into the 30-day grace period (the “Grace Period”) to make such payment. The Company did not make such interest payment prior to the expiration of the Grace Period, which resulted in an event of default under the Indenture. While the event of default is continuing under the Indenture, the Trustee or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may, among other things, accelerate 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes to be due and payable immediately upon such acceleration and seek immediate repayment in full of such amounts.

The Company is continuing to engage in negotiations and discussions with respect to the Company’s indebtedness. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to negotiate acceptable terms or to reach any agreement with respect to its indebtedness, which could result in the Company seeking relief in bankruptcy proceedings.

Cleansing Material

The Company has engaged in confidential discussions and negotiations under separate confidentiality agreements (the “Confidentiality Agreements”) with certain holders of the Notes (the “Ad Hoc Group”) issued by the Company regarding potential transactions to enhance the capital structure of the Company.

As of July 15, 2020, the Confidentiality Agreements have expired and the Company has not reached an agreement with respect to any strategic transaction with the Ad Hoc Group. Although the Company is actively pursuing opportunities to improve its capital structure, some or all of the foregoing potential transactions or other alternatives may not be pursued by the Company, may not be available to it or may not be announced in the foreseeable future or at all. If the Company is unable to complete such a transaction or other alternative, on favorable terms or at all, due to market conditions or otherwise, its financial condition would be materially and adversely affected, and the Company would likely need to seek relief in bankruptcy proceedings.

Pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreements, the Company agreed to publicly disclose certain Confidential Information (the “Confidential Information”) upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in the Confidentiality Agreements. A copy of the Confidential Information is attached to this current report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1. The Confidential Information was prepared by the Company to facilitate a discussion regarding potential transactions between the Company and the Ad Hoc Group. The Confidential Information was not prepared with a view toward public disclosure and should not be relied upon to make an investment decision with respect to the Company. The inclusion of the Confidential Information should not be regarded as an indication that the Company or any third party considers the Confidential Information to be a reliable prediction of future events, and the Confidential Information should not be relied upon as such. The Confidential Information includes certain potential values for illustrative purposes only and such values are not the result of, and do not represent, actual valuations, estimates, forecasts or projections of the Company or any third party and should not be relied upon as such. Neither the Company nor any third party has made or makes any representation to any person regarding the accuracy of any Confidential Information or the ultimate outcome of any potential restructuring transaction, and none of them undertakes any obligation to publicly update the Confidential Information to reflect circumstances existing after the date when the Confidential Information was prepared or conveyed or to reflect the occurrence of future events, even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the Confidential Information are shown to be in error. No assurance can be given that any transactions with the Ad Hoc Group will occur at all, and the Company would likely need to seek relief in bankruptcy proceedings.

EXECUTION VERSION AMENDMENT NO. 6 TO REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT This Amendment No. 6 to Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of July 14, 2020 (this “Amendment”), is among BRIGGS & STRATTON CORPORATION, a Wisconsin corporation (the “Lead Borrower”), each other Loan Party, JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and the lenders party hereto (the “Lenders”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the definitions provided therefor in the Credit Agreement referenced below. W I T N E S S E T H: WHEREAS, the Lead Borrower, the other Borrowers from time to time party thereto, the Lenders (as defined therein) from time to time party thereto and the Administrative Agent are parties to that certain Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of September 27, 2019 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”; the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”); WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 13.12 of the Credit Agreement, the Loan Parties party to the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders may amend the Credit Agreement; and WHEREAS, the Lead Borrower has requested that the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders amend, and the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders have agreed to amend, the Credit Agreement as set forth herein. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. Amendments to the Credit Agreement. Effective as of the date of satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 below, the parties hereto agree that: (a) Section 2.03 is hereby amended to add the following sentence at the end of such Section: Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, from and after July 13, 2020, any Borrowing by a U.S. Borrower shall be in U.S. Dollars only and shall be comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans and no U.S. Borrower shall be permitted to request LIBO Rate Loans hereunder. (b) The last sentence of Section 2.08(e) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the words “and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Lead Borrower”. (c) Section 2.08 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add a new clause (f) which shall read as follows: (f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, from and after July 13, 2020, no Borrowing by a U.S. Borrower in U.S. Dollars may be converted or continued as Borrowings of LIBO Rate Loans and all such Borrowings shall be comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans. US-DOCS\116967419.4


 
(d) Section 11.01(o) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the words “July 15, 2020” therein with the words “July 19, 2020”. 2. Conditional Limited Waiver. The Lead Borrower has requested the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders to waive the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default occurring under Section 11.01(f) of the Credit Agreement as a result of the Borrower’s failure to pay interest in respect of the Senior Notes on July 15, 2020 (the “Specified Default”). In reliance on the representations and warranties of the Lead Borrower set forth in Section 4 below, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 below, the Lenders party hereto and the Administrative Agent hereby waive the Specified Default but, for the avoidance of doubt, not any other Default or Event of Default; provided that the foregoing waiver shall be null, void and of no further force and effect, and the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have all the rights and remedies afforded by the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as if such waiver had never been granted immediately upon the occurrence of a Noteholder Enforcement Action. This specific limited conditional waiver applies only to the Specified Default and only for the express circumstances described above. This specific waiver shall not be construed to constitute (i) a waiver of any other event, circumstance or condition or of any other right or remedy available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or other applicable law or (ii) a custom or course of dealing or a consent to any departure by the Lead Borrower or any other Loan Party from any other term or requirement of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. This Section 2 is a limited conditional waiver and shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other term, provision or condition of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, as applicable, or to prejudice any right, power or remedy that Administrative Agent and the Lenders may now have or may have in the future under or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or other applicable law. For purposes of this Section 2, “Noteholder Enforcement Action” shall mean, for any holder of the Senior Notes and/or any indenture trustee, agent or other representative thereof, (a) to take from or for the account of the Lead Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (“Briggs Party”) by set-off or in any other manner, the whole or any part of any moneys which may now or hereafter be owing by such Briggs Party with respect to any Indebtedness under the Senior Notes (such Indebtedness, the “Specified Debt”), (b) to sue for payment of, or to initiate or participate with others in any suit, action or proceeding against any Briggs Party to (i) enforce payment of or to collect the whole or any part of the Specified Debt, (ii) commence or join with other Persons to commence any voluntary or involuntary insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, interim-receivership, custodianship, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors, appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers or any other proceeding for the liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of any Briggs Party, initiated under any Debtor Relief Laws, or (iii) commence judicial or private enforcement of any of the rights and remedies under the documents evidencing or otherwise relating to the Specified Debt or applicable law with respect to the Specified Debt, (c) to accelerate all or any portion of the Specified Debt, (d) to take any action to enforce any rights or remedies with respect to the Specified Debt, (e) to exercise any conversion option to convert the Specified Debt into equity or put option or to cause any Briggs Party to honor any redemption or mandatory prepayment obligation under any document evidencing or otherwise relating to the Specified Debt or (f) directly or indirectly support any action described in (a) to (e) above taken by any other Person. 3. Conditions Precedent. The effectiveness of this Amendment is subject to the conditions precedent that: (a) the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts to this Amendment, duly executed by each Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and Lenders constituting the Required Lenders; and 2

Representations and Warranties. To induce the Administrative Agent to enter into this Amendment, each Loan Party hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that: (a) This Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement constitute its legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, administration, examinership, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing; and (b) As of the date hereof and immediately after giving effect to the terms of this Amendment, (i) no Default or Event of Default (other than the Specified Default) has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality standard set forth in any such representation or warranty), except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties are true and correct in all material respects as of such date (without duplication of any materiality standard set forth in any such representation or warranty). 5. Reaffirmation. Without in any way establishing a course of dealing by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, each Loan Party consents to this Amendment and reaffirms the terms and conditions of the Guarantee Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by it and acknowledges and agrees that such agreements and each and every such Loan Document executed by the undersigned in connection with the Amended Credit Agreement remains in full force and effect and is hereby reaffirmed, ratified and confirmed. All references to the Credit Agreement contained in the above referenced documents shall be a reference to the Amended Credit Agreement and as the same may from time to time hereafter be amended, modified or restated. 6. Reference to and Effect on the Credit Agreement.

(b) Except as expressly amended hereby, the Credit Agreement and all other documents, instruments and agreements executed and/or delivered in connection therewith shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby reaffirmed, ratified and confirmed. (c) The Liens and security interests in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties securing payment of the Obligations (and all filings with any Governmental 3


 
Authority in connection therewith) are in all respects continuing and in full force and effect with respect to all Obligations, in each case in accordance with and to the extent contemplated by the terms of the respective Loan Documents. (d) Except with respect to the subject matter hereof, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other documents, instruments and agreements executed and/or delivered in connection therewith. (e) This Amendment is a Loan Document under (and as defined in) the Credit Agreement. 7. Miscellaneous. (a) Governing Law. This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York. (b) Headings. The headings of the several Sections and subsections of this Amendment are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Amendment. (c) Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by telecopy, e-mailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment. 8. Release; Loan Party Acknowledgment.

Executive Summary 4


 
Transaction Overview • Briggs & Stratton Corporation (“Briggs & Stratton,” “BGG” or the “Company”) is the world’s largest producer of gasoline engines for outdoor power equipment—with ~50-70%(1) residential engine market share in the United States —and a leading manufacturer of power generation, lawn and garden, turf care and job site products. The Company is also among the market leaders in offerings for commercial applications • The Company has faced several discrete headwinds in recent years, notably: – Consumer preference shifting to “Do-It-For-Me” which has led to reductions in residential consumer engine demand, but offset by growth in commercial, larger engines and products – Disruption in the retail channel given Sears bankruptcy and the focus on e-commerce impacting pricing growth and inventory planning – Operational inefficiencies related to footprint investment and ERP upgrade • Briggs & Stratton has been actively managing through these headwinds with a comprehensive plan that includes plant consolidations, identifying select assets for sale and continuing investment in its rapidly expanding commercial offerings • However, recent developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic have further negatively impacted the business, causing reduced sales, heightened inventory levels, and a strain on the Company’s current liquidity levels • In light of the aforementioned challenges, BGG has undertaken the following actions to mitigate the headwinds facing the business, including: – Completion of the Company's business optimization program and continued implementation of its engineering manufacturing consolidation project, collectively aimed at driving efficiencies to generate substantial savings – Salary reductions, plant/line closures and tighter working capital management – Suspension of quarterly dividends and FQ4’20(2) Board cash retainer fees – The postponement of discretionary capital expenditures (the Company will continue to make maintenance and certain committed capital expenditures) – Entered into Amendment No. 4 to the ABL Facility Credit Agreement and currently engaged in discussions with the ABL Lenders to provide incremental flexibility (1) Market share based on TraQline and OPEI (2) FY2020 ends on June 28, 2020 5


 
Transaction Overview (cont.) • The Company has developed a detailed business plan that reflects the current impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the longer term outlook for the business based on a conservative view of the likely recovery as well as the immediate, near-term cost savings actions that the Company can implement without incremental capital need – The Company has not included the full extent of its March 6 announcement in the plan, including the potential sale of assets, in light of the current COVID-19 market backdrop – Furthermore, the plan does not include certain other potential cost savings and repositioning actions • Briggs & Stratton is seeking to raise incremental liquidity to support the Company as it executes its business plan during the COVID-19 downturn • The Company is seeking proposals from potential investors and is open to various alternatives and structures that provide solutions for: – $100-150 million of additional liquidity in FY2021; and – The maturity of $195 million of Senior Unsecured Notes due in December 2020 (ABL Facility has springing maturity of September 2020 if the Senior Unsecured Notes are not refinanced) 6
