Pending Merger-Related Debt Actions
In the second quarter of 2026, the Company solicited consents from (i) holders of its senior secured notes, (ii) the lenders under the credit agreement governing its term loan and revolving credit facilities (the “Senior Secured Credit Agreement”), and (iii) the lenders under its receivables-based credit agreement to approve certain amendments to the applicable debt documents. Following receipt of the requisite consents, the Company entered into supplemental indentures with respect to its senior secured notes, as well as amendments to the Senior Secured Credit Agreement and its receivables-based credit agreement. These amendments provide that the Merger will not constitute a change of control under the applicable debt documents and add or amend certain related defined terms.
The supplemental indentures relating to the senior secured notes and the amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Agreement are effective but will become operative only upon consummation of the Merger and will cease to be effective if the Merger is not completed. The amendment to the receivables-based credit agreement will become effective upon consummation of the Merger and will cease to be operative if the Merger is not completed. Upon becoming effective, the amendment to the receivables-based credit agreement will also, among other things: (i) extend the maturity date of the credit agreement to a date that is five years from the consummation of the Merger, (ii) increase the revolving credit commitments from $200.0 million to $250.0 million, (iii) revise the borrowing base to expand eligible accounts thereunder, and (iv) add flexibility to permit qualified securitization financings.
Additionally, the Company has issued conditional notices of redemption for its outstanding 7.750% Senior Notes due 2028 and 7.500% Senior Notes due 2029, providing for their redemption upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions, including consummation of the Merger.
