***Sixth Amendment to Credit Agreement***

On August 5, 2025, AZZ Inc. (the "**Company**") entered into the Sixth Amendment to its existing Credit Agreement referenced below with Citibank, N.A. ("**Citi**"), as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and the requisite lenders (the "**Sixth Amendment"**). The Sixth Amendment amends the Credit Agreement dated as of May 13, 2022 by and among Citi, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, the lenders party thereto from time to time and the Company's subsidiaries party thereto (as thereafter amended, the "**Credit Agreement**").

The Sixth Amendment reduces the interest rate of the Term Loan B by 75 basis points to Adjusted Term SOFR + 175 basis points from Adjusted Term SOFR + 250 basis points. The capitalized terms in the preceding sentence shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement. This is the fourth spread rate repricing the Company has completed with respect to the Term Loan B since the loan was entered into, resulting in interest rate margin savings of 250 basis points in total with respect to the Term Loan B since its issuance in May 2022.

This summary of the Sixth Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, reference to all the terms of the Sixth Amendment, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

**AZZ Inc. Announces Successful Completion of Term Loan B Refinancing in Leverage-Neutral Transaction**

**August 5, 2025** – FORT WORTH, TX - **AZZ Inc. (NYSE: AZZ)**, the leading independent provider of hot-dip galvanizing and coil coating solutions in North America, today announced the successful repricing of AZZ's currently existing $434.9 Term Loan B due May 13, 2029. The repricing reduces the interest rate margin on Term Loan B by 75 basis points to SOFR + 175 basis points resulting in annual interest savings of approximately $3.3 million per year.

Jason Crawford, Chief Financial Officer commented, "We are pleased to announce the successful completion of our Term Loan B refinancing once again. We achieved a 75-basis point reduction on our loan borrowing rate with no change to our leverage, covenants, or maturity date. This is the fourth such reprice AZZ has completed, resulting in interest rate margin savings of 250 basis points in total, following the issuance of the Term Loan B in May 2022. Since acquiring Precoat Metals in May 2022, we have reduced both the principal and interest rate on our Term Loan B as we continue to take a disciplined approach to lowering our overall net debt to EBITDA leverage ratio, which stood at 1.7x as of May, 2025."

AZZ Inc. is the leading independent provider of hot-dip galvanizing and coil coating solutions to a broad range of end-markets. Collectively, our business segments provide sustainable, unmatched metal coating solutions that enhance the longevity and appearance of buildings, products and infrastructure that are essential to everyday life.
