Remaining unamortized debt issuance costs for the RCF of $5,385 as of September 28, 2026 and the previous U.S. ABL and Asia ABL of $874 as of December 29, 2025 are included in deposits and other non-current assets and are amortized to interest expense over the contractual term of each arrangement using the straight-line method of amortization. As of September 28, 2026, the remaining weighted average amortization period for all unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discount was 5.7 years. Debt Covenants Borrowings under the Senior Notes due 2029, Senior Notes due 2034, and Amended Term Loan Facility are subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, corporate transactions, investments, dispositions, and restricted payments. The RCF is subject to various financial covenants, including leverage and interest coverage ratios. 2026 Credit Agreement; Refinancing of Prior Term Loan Facility and RCF On June 1, 2026, the Company entered into the 2026 Credit Agreement, which amended and restated the Company’s Prior Term Loan Facility, and provided for a new RCF. In addition, the 2026 Credit Agreement permits the Company to add one or more senior secured incremental term loan facilities to the Amended Term Loan Facility, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Amended Term Loan Facility The 2026 Credit Agreement provided for a $400,000 senior secured term loan credit facility. As of September 28, 2026, $399,000 was outstanding, of which $4,000 was included in short-term debt and $395,000 was included in long-term debt. The Company received $119,159 in cash and $280,841 of cashless rollover from continuing lenders to pay the full amount of indebtedness outstanding under the Company’s Prior Term Loan Facility, which was $340,436, and related fees and expenses. The Amended Term Loan Facility bears interest at a floating rate of 1-month CME Term SOFR plus an applicable margin of 1.75%. The Amended Term Loan Facility continues to require quarterly principal repayments equal to 1% of the $400,000 initial aggregate principal amount and maintains the same maturity date of May 30, 2030 as the Prior Term Loan Facility. RCF In addition, the 2026 Credit Agreement provided for a new RCF that replaced the Company’s previous $150,000 U.S. ABL, which was terminated on June 1, 2026, and the Company’s previous $150,000 Asia ABL, which was also terminated on June 1, 2026. The $1,000,000 borrowing capacity is available to be drawn in USD by the Company to the extent that Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers (as defined in the 2026 Credit Agreement) have not drawn on the up to $300,000 available. The Company drew $80,000 on the RCF to pay the full amount outstanding under the previous Asia ABL. Unless previously terminated in accordance with its terms, the RCF is scheduled to mature in . The RCF includes a letter of credit subfacility with a sublimit of $200,000. Borrowings under the RCF bear interest at an interest rate of 1-month CME Term SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% determined by the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2026 Credit Agreement) of the previous quarter. The Company is also required to pay unused commitment fees based on the average daily unused portion of the RCF ranging from 0.15% to 0.35% on an annual basis based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio. The proceeds of the loans may be used to finance working capital needs, for general corporate purposes including acquisitions, or as otherwise permitted under the 2026 Credit Agreement. As of September 28, 2026, available borrowing capacity under the RCF was $733,866. Subsequent to the end of the fiscal third quarter, the Company repaid $180,000 of borrowings under the RCF. The obligations under the 2026 Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Company’s Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, subject to certain exclusions and limitations, the obligations of the Company and each Guarantor in respect of the 2026 Credit Agreement are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company and the Guarantors, including all of the capital stock held by the Company and the Guarantors (subject to a limitation of 65% on pledges of capital stock of certain foreign subsidiaries and domestic holding companies of foreign subsidiaries). The 2026 Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and restrictive covenants that the Company must comply with, including limitations on additional indebtedness, liens, investments, the issuance of dividends, and fundamental changes, as well as other customary covenants for credit facilities of this type. The 2026 Credit Agreement contains customary maintenance financial covenants applicable solely to the RCF. Specifically, the Company is required to maintain a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of at least 2.50:1.00 and a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of not greater than 4.50:1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter. The maximum consolidated leverage ratio is subject to a customary acquisition holiday that permits the level to increase to 5.00:1.00 for the fiscal quarter in which a qualifying material acquisition is consummated and the following three fiscal quarters. Upon an event of default that is not cured or waived within any applicable cure periods, in addition to other remedies that may be available to the lenders, the obligations under the 2026 Credit Agreement may be accelerated. Loss on Extinguishment of Debt During the three quarters ended September 28, 2026, the Company recognized loss on extinguishment of debt of $747, primarily related to the Company’s Prior Term Loan Facility. There was no loss on extinguishment of debt recognized during the quarter ended September 28, 2026. 6.750% Senior Notes due 2034 On September 24, 2026, the Company issued $500,000 of Senior Notes due 2034, which are included in long-term debt and bear interest at a rate of 6.750% per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning April 1, 2027. The Senior Notes due 2034 will mature on October 1, 2034. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes due 2034, together with borrowings under the Incremental Facilities, to fund the purchase price for the Company’s acquisition of Epiq, pay related acquisition fees and expenses, and repay a portion of the borrowing under the RCF shortly after the close of the Epiq acquisition. The Senior Notes due 2034 are irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. The Senior Notes due 2034 and related guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of, respectively, the Company and applicable subsidiary guarantors. The Senior Notes due 2034 were subject to a special mandatory redemption in the event the Epiq acquisition was not consummated by a specified date. Subsequent to the end of the fiscal third quarter, the acquisition was completed on September 30, 2026; accordingly, the special mandatory redemption provision is no longer applicable as of that date. Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement; Incremental Facilities On September 30, 2026, subsequent to the end of the fiscal third quarter, the Company entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which amended and restated the 2026 Credit Agreement and provided for Incremental Facilities. The Incremental Facilities were funded on September 30, 2026 in connection with the consummation of the Company's acquisition of Epiq, and the proceeds were used, together with a portion of the net proceeds from the Senior Notes due 2034, to fund the approximately $1,100,000 purchase price for the acquisition and related fees and expenses. The terms of the Amended Term Loan Facility and the RCF as set forth under the 2026 Credit Agreement remain unchanged. The Incremental Facilities are guaranteed and secured on the same basis as the existing loans were under the 2026 Credit Agreement, with Epiq becoming a Guarantor concurrently with the closing of the acquisition. |
