On September 3, 2026, certain subsidiaries of Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (the “Company”), namely CS Intermediate Holdco 1 LLC (“Holdings”), Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. (the “U.S. Borrower”), Cooper-Standard Automotive Canada Limited (the “Canadian Borrower”), and certain other subsidiaries of the U.S. Borrower, entered into Amendment No. 6 (the “Sixth Amendment”) to the Third Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (as in effect immediately prior to the Sixth Amendment, the “Existing Loan Agreement”, and as amended, the “Amended ABL Facility”) with certain lenders, Bank of America, N.A., as agent, and the other parties thereto.
Upon the closing of the Sixth Amendment, the Sixth Amendment amended the Existing Loan Agreement to, among other things:
•Increase the commitments by an aggregate principal amount of $20,000,000 (for an aggregate total commitment amount of $200,000,000), which commitments may, pursuant to the terms of the Amended ABL Facility, be allocated between the U.S. facility amount and Canadian facility amount;
•Extend the maturity date of the commitments under the Amended ABL Facility for each lender to September 3, 2031;
•Decrease the applicable margin for borrowings bearing interest based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (CORRA), a base rate or a prime rate, such that revolving loans are priced by reference to a grid based on the average quarterly availability, with the margins ranging from 150 basis points to 200 basis points (for borrowings bearing interest based on SOFR or CORRA) and 50 basis points to 100 basis points (for borrowings bearing interest based on a base rate or prime rate); and
•Remove the credit spread adjustments with respect to SOFR and CORRA.
The foregoing description of the Sixth Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sixth Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
