Item 5. Other Information

Waiver Letter regarding Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

Because we are filing this Quarterly Report within four business days after the triggering event, we are making the following disclosure under this Item 5, “Other Information” instead of filing (as and to the extent required) a Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 1.01, Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, and Item 2.03, Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On September 8, 2025, the Company entered into a Waiver Letter (the “Waiver Letter”) among the Company, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the other Lenders party thereto.

The Waiver Letter acknowledged that an event of default under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2022, as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time (which credit agreement, as previously amended by the first amendment, the second amendment and the third amendment thereto, is referred to solely in this Item 5, “Other Information” section of this Quarterly Report as the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, the other Lenders party thereto and the other parties thereto, occurred as the result of the Company making approximately $2.8 million of restricted payments during the quarter ended August 2, 2025, which was in excess of the $2.5 million general basket exception to a covenant restricting certain restricted payments (including dividends) by the Company and its subsidiaries during the quarter ended August 2, 2025. In addition, among other things, the Waiver Letter:

(i) Reduced, for the quarter ending November 1, 2025, the general basket exception to a covenant restricting certain restricted payments (including dividends) by the Company and its subsidiaries by the amount of excess restricted payments made during the quarter ended August 2, 2025 (which change reduced such basket exception from $2.5 million to approximately $2.2 million for the quarter ending November 1, 2025); and

(ii) Waived the acknowledged event of default.

The foregoing description of the Waiver Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Waiver Letter, which is filed as Exhibit 10.7 to this Quarterly Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
