Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     As previously announced on July 25, 2007 and reported on Form 8-K, the Board of Directors of Lennox International Inc. (the “Company”) approved a new share repurchase plan for $500 million, pursuant to which the Company plans to repurchase shares of its common stock, par value $.01 per share, through open market-purchases (the “2007 Share Repurchase Plan”). The 2007 Share Repurchase Plan terminates and replaces the share repurchase plan approved by the Company’s Board in September 2005.
     In connection with the 2007 Share Repurchase Plan, on August 3, 2007, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the “Credit Facility Amendment”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders named therein. The Credit Facility Amendment amends certain financial covenants contained in the Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility Agreement to provide flexibility for the larger share repurchases under the 2007 Share Repurchase Plan.
     The Credit Facility Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto. The foregoing description of the Credit Facility Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Facility Amendment, which is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
     In connection with the 2007 Share Repurchase Plan, on August 3, 2007, the Company also entered into amendments to (1) its Note Purchase Agreements, each dated as of December 1, 1993 or April 3, 1998, between the Company and various private placement lenders and (2) a Master Shelf Agreement, dated as of October 15, 1999, between the Company and The Prudential Insurance Company of America. The amendments amend certain financial covenants contained in these agreements to provide flexibility for the larger share repurchases under the 2007 Share Repurchase Plan.
     On August 3, 2007, the Company entered into a written trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “10b5-1 Plan”), to facilitate share repurchases under the 2007 Share Repurchase Plan. The 10b5-1 Plan becomes effective on September 4, 2007 and terminates on February 8, 2008.
