Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 31, 2009 Lawson Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and certain
of its subsidiaries (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”) entered into a Consent, Waiver and

consent to the reorganization, (ii) waives any and all events of default arising due to a
reorganization in which several of the Borrowers will be merged into a newly-formed wholly-owned
subsidiary, Lawson Products, Inc. (Illinois) and assets of certain of the Borrowers will be
transferred among the Borrowers and (iii) amends the Credit Agreement to account for the
reorganization.
A copy of the Consent, Waiver and First Amendment to Credit Agreement is attached as Exhibit
10.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
