TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 8.01 Other Events
On September 1, 2005, Dover Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a $400 million 364-day
unsecured revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. (the “Lender”), pursuant to a Credit
Agreement dated as of September 1, 2005 among the Company, the Lender and Bank of America, N.A., as
Administrative Agent (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement has substantially the same
terms as the Company’s $600 million 5-year credit agreement for which JPMorgan Chase Bank is the
Administrative Agent and is intended to be used primarily as liquidity back-up for the Company’s
commercial paper program.
The aggregate commitments under the Credit Agreement will automatically be reduced by the
amount, if any, that the aggregate commitments or available credit under the Company’s other senior
credit facilities exceeds $600 million at any time prior to the maturity date of the Credit
Agreement. In the event that the Company has any loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement that
would exceed the reduced commitment amount, the Company must prepay the loan amount to the extent
of the excess over the reduced commitment amount.
The Company has customary corporate and commercial banking relationships with the Lender and
Agent.
The description of the Credit Agreement set forth above is qualified in its entirety by the
Credit Agreement itself, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
