Previous report

The ABL Facility provides for an aggregate amount of borrowings up to $425.0 million, with a discretionary peak season commitment of $475.0 million, subject to a borrowing base calculation based on available eligible receivables, eligible inventory, and qualified cash in North America. Accounts receivable for customers whose receivables are eligible for purchase under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, regardless of whether any amount of outstanding accounts receivable with those specific customers have been sold under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, are not eligible accounts receivable under the ABL Facility. An amount of up to 30% (or up to 40% with agent consent) of the then-outstanding commitments under the ABL Facility is available to our Canada and Spain subsidiaries. A portion of the ABL Facility not to exceed $50 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit in U.S. Dollars, of which $20.0 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit in Canadian dollars. The maturity of the facility is February 25, 2028.

Under the agreement governing the First Lien Credit Facility (the“First Lien Credit Agreement”), the Company must make an annual mandatory prepayment of principal for between 0% and 50% of the excess cash and subject to permitted deductions, as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement, generated in the prior calendar year. The amount due varies with the First Lien Leverage Ratio as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement, from zero if the First Lien Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 2.5x, to fifty percent if the First Lien Leverage Ratio is greater than 3.0x, in each case as of December 31 of the prior year. The First Lien Term Facility matures on May 28, 2028.

The interim closing date for the first, second and third quarters of 2026 are March 28, June 27, and September 26, compared to the respective March 29, June 28, and September 27, 2025 dates.

Previous wording

The imposition of, and threat of imposition of, tariffs and other trade restrictions by the United States government in 2025, and tariffs and other trade restrictions announced by governments of other nations in response to these actions, have created substantial uncertainty in the global economy. On February 20, 2026, the United States Supreme Court issued a ruling striking down certain tariffs previously imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”). Following the Supreme Court’s decision, the U.S. announced its intention to invoke other laws to collect tariffs and announced new tariffs on imports, in addition to any existing non-IEEPA tariffs. There remains substantial uncertainty regarding the duration of existing and newly announced tariffs, potential changes or pauses to such tariffs, tariff levels, and whether further additional tariffs or other retaliatory actions may be imposed, modified, or suspended, and the impacts of such actions on our business. Furthermore, the Company may be eligible to receive refunds of certain tariffs it paid that were levied under the IEEPA. If it is determined that the Company is eligible for refunds, the availability, amount and timing of such refunds is uncertain and subject to further developments. This uncertainty, as well as the direct impact of tariffs and other trade restrictions, may adversely affect the Company’s business by reducing market demand for the Company’s products, increasing the Company’s supply costs that cannot be passed on to customers and/or adversely affecting the competitiveness of the Company’s products against those of manufacturers not subject to such tariffs and trade restrictions. Geopolitical conflicts around the world have also created substantial uncertainty in the global economy, including as a result of sanctions and penalties imposed in response to these conflicts. In particular, armed conflicts in the Middle East and in Ukraine and Russia have adversely affected market demand in the Middle East and Asia, which has negatively impacted our results in our E&RW segment. See “—Segment—Europe & Rest of World,” below. Given the nature of our business and global operations, if these or other geopolitical conflicts continue or worsen, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.
