On February 8, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Seventh Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”), which amended the Seventh Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement”) dated September 29, 2022 (collectively, the “Amended Loan Agreement”). Amendment No. 1, among other things, permitted the acquisition of Signature Systems and provided a new 5-year $400 million term loan facility (“Term Loan A”). Term Loan A will amortize in eight quarterly installment payments of $5 million beginning June 30, 2024, quarterly installment payments of $10 million thereafter, and any remaining

balance due upon maturity. Term Loan A may be voluntarily prepaid at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium, however, all amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of Term Loan A may not be reborrowed.

Amendment No. 1 did not change the existing revolving credit facility’s maturity date or $250 million borrowing limit, which includes a letter of credit subfacility and swingline subfacility. In connection with Amendment No. 1, the Company incurred deferred financing fees of $9.2 million, of which $8.5 million was related to Term Loan A and included in Long-term debt and Long-term debt - current portion and $0.7 million was related to the Revolving Credit Facility and included in Other Assets (long-term). These deferred financing fees are being amortized to Interest expense over their respective terms to maturity. Remaining deferred financing fees on the Revolving Credit Facility were $1.4 million and $1.1 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively and remaining unamortized deferred financing costs under the Term Loan A totaled $7.5 million as of September 30, 2024.

The Amended Loan Agreement is on substantially the same terms as the Loan Agreement, except Amendment No. 1 has amended, among other items, (i) to permit the Signature Systems acquisition, (ii) to modify the maximum leverage ratio to not exceed (x) 4.00 to 1:00 on a “net” basis for an initial “net” leverage ratio holiday period for the immediate fiscal quarter end after the Signature Systems acquisition is consummated and for the three immediately following fiscal quarter ends thereafter and (y) 3.25 to 1.00 on a “net” basis after such “net” leverage ratio holiday period (subject to additional “net” leverage ratio holiday periods at the election of the Company for such periods that are more fully described in the Amended Loan Agreement), (iii) to modify certain negative covenants (including the restricted payment covenant) so that the applicable incurrence tests for such negative covenants is now based on the new “net” leverage ratio level, (iv) to increase the applicable margins for the loans under the Amended Loan Agreement to range between 1.775% to 2.35% for Term SOFR, RFR, SONIA, EURIBOR and CORRA based loans and between 0.775% and 1.35% for base rate loans, in each case based from time to time on the determination of the Company’s then net leverage ratio, (v) to replace the Canadian Dealer Offered Rate (CDOR) as the applicable reference rate with respect to loans denominated in Canadian Dollars to the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (CORRA), and (vi) to amend the scope of collateral securing the obligations under the Amended Loan Agreement to be an “all asset” lien (subject to customary provisions of excluded collateral not subject to the liens).

On September 29, 2022, the Company entered into a Seventh Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Seventh Amendment”), which amended the Sixth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the "Sixth Amendment"), dated March 12, 2021. The Seventh Amendment, among other things, extended the maturity date to September 2027 from March 2024. The Seventh Amendment did not change the senior revolving credit facility's $250 million borrowing limit, which includes a letter of credit subfacility and swingline subfacility, or the outstanding letters of credit. In connection with the Seventh Amendment, the Company incurred $0.9 million of deferred financing fees, which are included in Other assets (long-term) and being amortized to Interest expense over the term of the Loan Agreement.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $239.4 million available under the Amended Loan Agreement, which is available for the ongoing working capital requirements of the Company and its subsidiaries and for general corporate purposes. The Company had $5.6 million of letters of credit issued related to insurance and other contracts requiring financial assurance in the ordinary course of business. Borrowings under the Amended Loan Agreement bear interest at the Term SOFR, RFR, SONIA, EURIBOR and CORRA-based borrowing rates. Amounts borrowed under the credit facility are secured by pledges to all of the Company's assets (except with respect to certain assets that are customarily excluded for the incurrence of such liens).

On January 12, 2024, the Company repaid $26.0 million of senior unsecured notes upon maturity using cash on hand and availability under the Loan agreement. On February 6, 2024, in connection with the first amendment and restatement to the Loan Agreement discussed above, the Company prepaid the remaining $12.0 million face value of senior unsecured notes, which were due January 15, 2026, using availability under the revolving credit facility under the Loan Agreement. After giving effect to the payment in full all outstanding senior unsecured notes under the Note Purchase Agreement have been paid and the Note Purchase Agreement has been terminated. In conjunction with the termination the Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $0.1 million, primarily representing the make-whole fees on the senior unsecured notes and the unamortized value of the original issuance discount which were included in Interest expense.

The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Company’s long-term debt was 8.40% and 7.09% for the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 8.60% and 6.74% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which includes a quarterly facility fee on the used and unused portion, as well as amortization of deferred financing costs.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants associated with its Amended Loan Agreement. The most restrictive financial covenants for all of the Company’s debt are a net leverage ratio (defined as net debt divided by earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted) and an interest coverage ratio (defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted, divided by interest expense).

On May 2, 2024, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to mitigate the variable interest rate risk of borrowings under the Amended Loan Agreement. The swap has a beginning notional value of $200.0 million, which reduces proportionately with scheduled Term Loan A amortization payments, and has a final maturity date of January 31, 2029. At September 30, 2024, the remaining notional value of the Company's interest rate swap totaled $195.0 million. The swap is designated as a cash flow hedge and effectively results in a fixed rate of 4.606% plus the applicable margin for the hedged debt, as described above and in Note 1.
