Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Credit Agreement Amendment
On September 15, 2026, the Company entered into a second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to its credit agreement, by and among the Company, as borrower, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), which amends the Credit Agreement, dated December 15, 2022, among the Company, as borrower, the Administrative Agent, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as sole bookrunner and sole left lead arranger and the other lenders party thereto from time to time (as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated March 11, 2025 and as further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”). The Second Amendment is expected to become effective substantially concurrently with, and its effectiveness is conditioned upon, the consummation of an offering of 0% Convertible Notes due 2031 (the “Convertible Notes” and such offering, the “Notes Offering”). The Second Amendment is expected to increase the existing revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) under the Credit Agreement from $300.0 million to $500.0 million, with the ability to increase the Revolving Facility by an additional $150.0 million, extend the maturity date of the Credit Agreement from March 11, 2030 to up to five years from the closing of the Second Amendment (such maturity date being the earliest to occur of (a) the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Second Amendment, expected to be September 18, 2031, (b) the date that is 91 days prior to the stated maturity date of the Convertible Notes, unless such Convertible Notes have been redeemed, repurchased, converted or defeased in full, and any refinance indebtedness incurred in connection therewith has a stated maturity date of at least 91 days after the date that is 5 years from the closing of the Second Amendment, (c) the date that is 91 days prior to March 20, 2031 (the expected optional repurchase date of the Convertible Notes), but only if (i) either (x) the Company has timely provided a Convertible Notes put share settlement notice to the Administrative Agent from, and including, December 11, 2030 to, and including, December 18, 2030, electing to settle any optional repurchases of Convertible Notes by delivering the maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock the Company is then permitted to deliver in respect of such optional repurchases under the Convertible Notes (a “Lender Put Share Settlement Notice”) and the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock is less than $350 on December 18, 2030, or (y) the Company has not timely provided a Lender Put Share Settlement Notice and the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock on December 18, 2030, is less than the conversion price then in effect for the Convertible Notes and (ii) the Convertible Notes have not been redeemed, repurchased, converted or defeased in full, and (d) the date that is 91 days prior to the stated maturity date of any other permitted convertible indebtedness the Company may issue, unless such other indebtedness has been redeemed, repurchased, converted or defeased in full, and any refinance indebtedness incurred in connection therewith has a stated maturity date of at least 91 days after the date that is 5 years from the closing of the Second Amendment), permit the Notes Offering and provide for other updates to the covenants and terms of the Credit Agreement.
The Revolving Facility bears interest at SOFR plus 1.25% to 1.75% per year determined in accordance with a pricing grid based on the Company’s net leverage ratio. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee quarterly in arrears on the average daily unused amount of each Lender’s revolving credit commitment at a rate equal to 0.15% per annum.
The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants including, among other things, financial reporting, limitations on indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, asset sales, investments, sale and leaseback transactions, swap agreements, restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, restrictive agreements, and amendment of certain material documents. The negative covenants are subject to certain exceptions, baskets and similar qualifications. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with a maximum net leverage ratio of no greater than 3.50 to 1.00 (subject to a 1.00 step-up for the four quarters following a permitted acquisition) and a minimum interest coverage ratio of no less than 3.50 to 1.00, each based upon a trailing four fiscal quarter period.
The Credit Agreement contains events of default that include, among other things, failure to make certain payments, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-default to material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults, material judgment defaults, ERISA defaults and a change of control default. The Company expects to file the Second Amendment as an exhibit to a subsequent exchange act filing.
