NOTE 17 – RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On April 28, 2015, investment funds affiliated with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR”) acquired 100% of the equity interest of the Company. The Company executed a monitoring agreement with KKR, which became effective on April 28, 2015. Upon the consummation of the IPO on May 14, 2026, the monitoring agreement was terminated.

Pursuant to the monitoring agreement, the Company incurred an advisory fee equal to 1% of EBITDA for the prior fiscal year with KKR. The Company incurred an advisory fee of $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $2.7 million of advisory fees for the same prior year period. The fees are included in the “Other operating expenses” caption on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Additionally, KKR Capital Markets LLC (“KCM”), an affiliate of KKR, provided for the arrangement and syndication of the Exchange Offer, Amended Credit Agreement, and Extended First Lien Term Loan. The Company did not incur any fees with KCM during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

In connection with the acquisition of AMR in 2018, we entered into an indemnification agreement with KKR North America Fund XI (AMG) LLC pursuant to which we agreed to indemnify affiliates of KKR that at any time hold our common equity (and their affiliates and certain other persons) against liabilities that may arise out of any breach by us of a consent decree we entered into with the Federal Trade Commission, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.
