Subsequent Events	17. Subsequent Events On October 29, 2024, the Company announced that it has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) to acquire for cash all of the shares of Profire Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq: PFIE) ("Profire"), with the transaction expected to be completed in first quarter of 2025. Profire is a leader in burner management technology and combustion control systems that provide mission-critical combustion automation and control solutions and services to improve environmental efficiency, safety and reliability for industrial thermal applications globally. Profire is headquartered in Lindon, Utah and has locations in Texas, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Ohio and Alberta, Canada. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, a subsidiary of the Company will commence a tender offer to acquire all issued and outstanding shares of Profire’s common stock at a price of $2.55 per share, in cash, without interest and subject to applicable withholding tax. The tender offer will initially remain open for 20 business days from the date of commencement of the tender offer, subject to extension under certain circumstances. The transaction implies an equity value of approximately $125 million and a total enterprise value for Profire of approximately $108 million. The tender offer is subject to customary closing conditions, including that at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Profire’s common stock are tendered and not withdrawn in the tender offer and the expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. Upon completion of the transaction, Profire will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of CECO and shares of Profire’s common stock will no longer be listed on any public market. The impact of this pending transaction is not included in the Company's financial results for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2024 and is not expected to impact financial results for the fourth quarter of 2024. On October 2, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of WK Germany KG, GmbH and WK Asia-Pacific Pte. Ltd. (collectively, "WK Group"). WK Group, with locations in Germany, Singapore, China and India, designs and engineers a broad range of cutting-edge technical equipment and systems for process and environmental and surface technology applications, as well as innovative sustainable solutions. This acquisition advances the Company's footprint and capabilities within the industrial processing solutions segment. The purchase price paid at closing was €10.8 million, inclusive of net cash at close, (approximately $11.9 million), financed using borrowings under the Company's existing Credit Facility. There is also an earnout arrangement based on the achievement of specified financial targets through September 30, 2025, as defined in the purchase agreement. The impact of this acquisition is not included in the Company's results for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2024. The initial accounting for the acquisition was not complete at the time the financial statements were issued due to the timing of the acquisition and filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As a result, complete disclosures as required under ASC 805, Business Combinations cannot be made at this time. On October 7, 2024, the Company entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”), among the Company, its subsidiaries from time to time party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Agent”), which amended and restated in its entirety the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 11, 2019, among the Company, its subsidiaries from time to time party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto and the Agent. The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility in an initial aggregate principal amount of up to $400.0 million (the “Amended Credit Facility”). At the Company’s option, the Company may increase the aggregate principal amount of the Amended Credit Facility from time to time by an additional aggregate principal amount of up to (a) $125.0 million plus (b) such additional amount, if any, as would not cause the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) to exceed 3.00 to 1.00 after giving pro forma effect to such increased amount, in additional revolving credit and/or one or more tranches of term loans, subject to certain conditions, including the consent of the Agent and any increasing or additional lenders. The Amended Credit Facility will mature on October 7, 2029. The Credit Facility will accrue interest (a) with respect to base rate loans, at an annual rate equal to an applicable rate of between 0.75% and 2.25% (fluctuating based on the Company’s Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio), plus a rate equal to the highest of (1) the Agent’s prime rate, (2) the federal funds rate plus one-half of 1.00%, (3) Daily Simple SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.00% and (4) 1.00%, (b) for all other loans, at an annual rate equal to an applicable rate of between 1.75% and 3.25% (fluctuating based on the Company’s Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio), plus a rate determined based on the denominated currency and, as applicable pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, whether the Company has elected for interest on such loans to accrue at a daily rate or a term rate: (a) for term rate loans, if denominated (1) in U.S. Dollars, Term SOFR (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement inclusive of a 0.10% per annum adjustment), (2) in euros, EURIBOR, (3) in Canadian dollars, the Term CORRA Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 0.29547% for a one-month interest period and 0.32138% for a three-month interest period or (4) in a currency other than (1)-(3), the rate per annum as designated with respect to such currency at the time such currency was approved by the Agent and the other Lenders or, if such rate is unavailable on any date of determination for any reason, a comparable or successor rate approved by the Agent, and (b) for daily rate loans, if denominated (1) in U.S. dollars, Daily Simple SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement inclusive of a 0.10% per annum adjustment), (2) in pounds sterling, a rate per annum equal to SONIA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 0.0326% per annum or (3) in a currency other than (1) or (2), the rate per annum as designated with respect to such currency at the time such currency was approved by the Agent and the other Lenders or, if such rate is unavailable on any date of determination for any reason, a comparable or successor rate approved by the Agent. The Amended Credit Facility contains covenants and representations and warranties that are usual and customary for similar transactions. With respect to financial covenants, the Company is required to maintain a Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio not greater than 4.00 to 1.00 and a Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) not greater than 3.00 to 1.00, in each case as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Company. At the election of the Company and subject to certain restrictions contained in the Amended Credit Agreement, following the occurrence of a Permitted Acquisition (as defined in the Credit Agreement) involving aggregate consideration of $15.0 million or more, such maximum Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio and Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio may be increased to 4.50 to 1.00 and 3.50 to 1.00, respectively, for the fiscal quarter in which such Permitted Acquisition is consummated and the subsequent three fiscal quarters of the Company. The Company is also required to maintain a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Company of not less than 1.25 to 1.00.
