6. Refinancing

On September 5, 2025 (the “closing date”), the Company completed a refinancing transaction (the “2025 Refinancing”) in which certain of the Company’s subsidiaries issued new notes pursuant to an asset-backed securitization. The notes consist of $500.0 million Series 2025-1 4.930% Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2-I with an anticipated repayment date of July 2030 (the “2025 Five-Year Notes”) and $500.0 million Series 2025-1 5.217% Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2-II with an anticipated repayment date of July 2032 (the “2025 Seven-Year Notes,” and collectively with the 2025 Five-Year Notes, the “2025 Notes”) in an offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Gross proceeds from the issuance of the 2025 Notes were $1.00 billion.

The proceeds from the issuance of the 2025 Notes, as well as $160.0 million of the Company’s unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, were used to (i) repay the remaining $742.0 million in outstanding principal under the Company’s 2015 Ten-Year Notes (refer to Note 5, above) and the remaining $402.7 million in outstanding principal under the Company’s 2018 7.5-Year Notes (refer to Note 5, above), (ii) prefund a portion of the interest payable on the 2025 Notes and (iii) pay transaction fees and expenses. In connection with the 2025 Refinancing, the Company capitalized $15.4 million of debt issuance costs, which are being amortized into interest expense over the five and seven-year expected terms of the 2025 Notes.

The legal final maturity date of the 2025 Notes is July 2055, but it is anticipated that, unless earlier prepaid to the extent permitted under the related debt agreements, the 2025 Five-Year Notes will be repaid on or prior to the anticipated repayment date occurring in July 2030, and the 2025 Seven-Year Notes will be repaid on or prior to the anticipated repayment date occurring in July 2032. If the Company has not repaid or refinanced the 2025 Notes prior to the applicable anticipated repayment dates, additional interest of at least 5% per annum will accrue, and the Company’s cash flows other than a weekly management fee to cover certain operating expenses would be directed to the repayment of the securitized debt.

As of September 7, 2025, the 2025 Notes had original scheduled principal payments of $10.0 million in each of 2026 through 2029, $485.0 million in 2030, $5.0 million in 2031 and $470.0 million in 2032. In accordance with the Company’s debt agreements, the payment of principal on the 2025 Notes may be suspended if either the Holdco Leverage Ratio or Senior Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 5.5x total debt to either Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA or Securitized Net Cash Flow, each as defined in the indenture governing the securitized debt, and no catch-up provisions are applicable. In accordance with the Company’s debt agreements, the payment of principal on the 2021 Notes, 2019 Notes, 2018 9.25-Year Notes and 2017 Ten-Year Notes (refer to Note 5, above) may be suspended if the Holdco Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 5.0x total debt to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, each as defined in the indenture governing the securitized debt, and no catch-up provisions are applicable. As of the end of the third quarter of 2025 and the end of the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company satisfied the non-amortization tests for each respective series of notes, and accordingly, the outstanding principal amounts of the notes have been classified as long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 7, 2025 and December 29, 2024.

Concurrent with the 2025 Refinancing, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries also issued a new variable funding note facility which allows for advances of up to $320.0 million of Series 2025-1 Variable Funding Senior Secured Notes, Class A-1 and certain other credit instruments, including letters of credit (the “2025 Variable Funding Notes”). The 2025 Variable Funding Notes were undrawn on the closing date. As of September 7, 2025, the Company had no outstanding borrowings and $263.6 million of available borrowing capacity under its 2025 Variable Funding Notes, net of letters of credit issued of $56.4 million. In connection with the issuance of the 2025 Variable Funding Notes, the Company’s previous $200.0 million Series 2021-1 and $120.0 million Series 2022-1 variable funding note facilities were canceled.

Interest on the 2025 Variable Funding Notes is payable at a rate equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) plus 150 basis points. The unused portion of the 2025 Variable Funding Notes is subject to a commitment fee of 50 basis points. It is anticipated that any amounts outstanding under the 2025 Variable Funding Notes will be repaid in full on or prior to July 2030, subject to two additional one-year extensions at the option of the Company, subject to certain conditions. Following the anticipated repayment date (and any extensions thereof), additional interest will accrue on the 2025 Variable Funding Notes equal to 5% per annum.
