The asset-based credit facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”) has aggregate commitments of $325,000. AII is the borrower under the ABL Credit Facility which is guaranteed by the Company and all other subsidiaries of the Company (other than AII) that are guarantors of the Senior Notes (as defined below). AII’s availability under the ABL Credit Facility was $325,000 as of each of March 27, 2026 and September 30, 2025.

The ABL Credit Facility uses a forward-looking interest rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) consisting of an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%.

On April 30, 2025, AII, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Fourth Amendment to its existing Credit Agreement, dated as of August 28, 2020, which, among other things, (i) extended the maturity of the facility to the earlier of April 30, 2030 or 91 days prior to the maturity date of the existing senior term loan facility if at least $100,000 of obligations remain outstanding under the existing senior secured term loan facility on such date and (ii) amended certain terms and thresholds with respect to the Company’s borrowing base capacity.

On March 15, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the New Senior Secured Term Loan Facility to implement a forward-looking interest rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) in lieu of LIBOR, consisting of an applicable margin of 2.00% and a credit spread adjustment of (i) 0.11448% for a one-month interest period, (ii) 0.26161% for a three-month interest period and (iii) 0.42826% for a six-month interest period.

On September 29, 2025, the Company entered into a new $373,000 senior secured term loan facility (the “New Senior Secured Term Loan Facility”) pursuant to an amendment to its existing Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”). The New Senior Secured Term Loan Facility will mature on the earlier of (i) September 29, 2032 and (ii) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity of the Company’s existing senior notes due June 1, 2031 if more than $100,000 of such senior notes remains outstanding as of such date. Borrowings under the New Senior Secured Term Loan Facility will bear interest at the rate of either (x) Term SOFR (with a floor of 0%) plus 2.00%, or (y) an alternate base rate (with a floor of 1.5%) plus 1.00%. The New Senior Secured Term Loan Facility has an annual amortization rate of 1.00%.
