Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Amendment to Existing Loan Agreement
On July 28, 2026, Myers Industries, Inc. (the “Company”), MYE Canada Operations Inc. and Scepter Canada Inc., each as foreign subsidiary borrowers (together with the Company, collectively, the “Borrowers”) amended that certain Seventh Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2022, among the Borrowers, the other foreign subsidiary borrowers party thereto from time to time, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and the certain financial institutions party thereto as lenders (as previously amended, the “Existing Loan Agreement”), pursuant to Amendment No. 2 to Seventh Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, dated as of July 28, 2026, among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and the financial institutions party thereto as lenders (the “Amendment”, and the Existing Loan Agreement, as amended pursuant to the Amendment being referred to herein as the “Amended Loan Agreement”).
The Amended Loan Agreement is on substantially the same terms as the Existing Loan Agreement, except the Amendment has amended the Existing Loan Agreement to, among other items, (i) extend the maturity date of the Revolving Facility (as defined below) from September 29, 2027 to the fifth anniversary of the Amendment, (ii) establish a new term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) in the aggregate principal amount of $250 million (the “Term Loans”), which Term Loans will be used to refinance the term loans outstanding under the Existing Loan Agreement (the “Existing Term Loans”), (iii) modify the maximum leverage ratio under the Existing Loan Agreement to not exceed 3.50 to 1.00 on a “net” basis (subject to “net” leverage ratio holiday periods, at the election of the Company, of 4.00 to 1.00 for a period of four fiscal quarters in connection with a “Material Acquisition” (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement and consistent with the Existing Loan Agreement), and upon terms as more fully described in the Amended Loan Agreement), (iv) decrease the applicable margins for the loans under the Amended Loan Agreement and such decreased rates shall range between 1.100% to 1.950% for Term SOFR, RFR, SONIA, EURIBOR and CORRA based loans and between 0.100% and 0.950% for base rate loans, in each case, based from time to time on the determination of the Company’s then net leverage ratio, (v) remove the existing LIBOR adjustment from the calculation of the Term SOFR and RFR rates, and (vi) release the “MTS Sale Specified Subsidiaries” (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement) as guarantors of the Facilities (as defined below) until January 28, 2027 (or such later date upon the terms of and as more fully described in the Amended Loan Agreement), unless the “MTS Sale” (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement) is consummated by such date.
The Amended Loan Agreement continues to provide for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate committed principal amount of $250 million, which includes a letter of credit subfacility and swingline subfacility (the “Revolving Facility”, and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Facilities”). The proceeds of the Term Loan Facility will be used to refinance the Existing Term Loans and the proceeds of the Revolving Facility will be used (a) to refinance the Existing Term Loans, and (b) for the ongoing working capital requirements of the Company and its subsidiaries and for general corporate purposes.
Under the Amended Loan Agreement, the Term Loans will amortize in quarterly installment payments in an aggregate annual amount equal to five percent (5%) of the original principal amount of the Term Loan Facility. The Facilities may be voluntarily prepaid at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium, upon notice to the Administrative Agent; however, all amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed. The Term Loans will also be subject to mandatory prepayments in connection with certain debt issuances and asset sales, subject to certain reinvestment rights of the Borrowers. The Facilities have a maturity date of the fifth anniversary of the Amendment.
The Amended Loan Agreement is subject to substantially the same affirmative and negative covenants and events of default as currently set forth in the Existing Loan Agreement, except as otherwise described above.
In connection with the Amended Loan Agreement, the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries (the “Loan Parties”) entered into (i) the Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of July 28, 2026, with the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the secured parties thereunder, pursuant to which the Loan Parties party thereto will reaffirm the existing grant of a security interest in, and lien on, all of their respective assets (except with respect to certain assets that are customarily excluded from the incurrence of such liens), and (ii) the Third Amended and Restated Guaranty, dated as of July 28, 2026, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which the Loan Parties party thereto will reaffirm and/or agree, as applicable to such Loan Party, to guarantee the payment and performance of the Borrowers’ obligations under the Amended Loan Agreement.
