On August 27, 2021, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement. The agreement provided for a $1.145 billion secured term loan facility, at a discount of 1.00%, and a $400 million secured revolving credit facility. On July 9, 2025, the Company signed the sixth amendment to its amended and restated credit agreement to refinance and replace in full the existing term loan facility with an $800 million term loan facility, $93.6 million of which is comprised of new term loans used to refinance existing indebtedness and $706.4 million of which was used to refinance existing term loans. This amendment also increased the maximum principal amount of the senior secured revolving credit facility from $400 million to $450 million. This multi-currency facility allows the Company to request loan advances in either Canadian dollars or U.S. dollars. Amounts borrowed and repaid under the revolving line of credit portion of the facility are available to be re-borrowed.

As a result of the refinance, the Company’s term loan facility, previously set to mature on August 27, 2028, is now set to mature on July 9, 2032, and the revolving credit facility, previously set to mature on August 27, 2026, is now set to mature on July 9, 2030. As a result of prepayments made in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025, the Company no longer has an obligation to make principal payments on the term loan facility until maturity.

The Company evaluated whether modification or extinguishment accounting should be applied on a lender-by-lender basis in association with the refinance. The results of this analysis are summarized below:
Term loan facility: $1.9 million in unamortized debt issuance costs were written-off related to debt extinguishments, and $6.0 million in third-party fees related to debt modifications were expensed. These $7.9 million in costs were recorded within interest expense, net on the statement of operations. A total of $3.7 million in new lender and third-party costs incurred in the refinance were capitalized as a reduction in long-term debt and will be amortized over the life of the term loan facility.
Revolving credit facility: $0.4 million in unamortized debt issuance costs were written-off related to debt extinguishments and recorded within interest expense, net on the statement of operations. A total of $1.5 million in new third-party fees were capitalized and will be amortized over the life of the revolving credit facility. These capitalized costs are recorded within other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

The obligations under the credit agreement are secured by present and future ownership interests in substantially all direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company, substantially all of the tangible and intangible personal property of each borrower, and all products, profits, and proceeds of the foregoing. The Company’s assets securing the facility as of December 28, 2025 totaled $2.3 billion. The credit agreement also contains a restriction on dividend payments with an available amount generally defined as $65.0 million plus 50% of the Company’s consolidated net income since the beginning of the third fiscal quarter of 2025 adjusted for certain items, such as parent capital contributions, redeemable noncontrolling interest payments, and dividend payments, among other adjustments, as applicable.

The applicable margin for the newly amended revolving credit facility ranges from 1.25% to 2.25% for SOFR and Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”) loans and from 0.25% to 1.25% for base rate loans, depending on the Company’s net leverage ratio. After the refinance, the term loan facility had a fixed margin of 1.25% for base rate loans and 2.25% for SOFR loans, which was 0.25% lower than the rates prior to the sixth amendment. The table below summarizes the weighted average interest rates on the term loan facility and revolving credit facility as of the end of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024:

Revolving credit facility4.54 %5.94 %

On January 12, 2026, the Company entered into the seventh amendment to our amended and restated credit agreement, which (i) repriced the term loan, (ii) decreased the fixed margin for SOFR loans from 2.25% to 2.00% and (iii) decreased the fixed margin for base rate loans from 1.25% to 1.00%. The aggregate principal amount of each term loan under the sixth amendment outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the seventh amendment was deemed to be exchanged for seventh amendment term loans in an equal aggregate principal amount, the proceeds of which were applied to prepay in full any sixth amendment term loans that were not exchanged. As of January 12, 2026, the aggregate principal amount of the seventh amendment term loans was $616.0 million.

Immediately prior to the sixth amendment, the Company was required to maintain a leverage ratio of 4.00 to 1.00, and an interest coverage ratio of greater than a minimum of 2.50 to 1.00 under the revolving credit facility. Pursuant to the sixth amendment signed on July 9, 2025, the Company is required to maintain a leverage ratio of 4.50 to 1.00 for any future quarter ending prior to September 30, 2026, and 4.00 to 1.00 for any quarter ending on or after September 30, 2026. The requirement to maintain an interest coverage ratio of greater than a minimum of 2.50 to 1.00 remains unchanged.

As of December 28, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the revolving credit facility. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the commitments which ranges from 0.15% to 0.35% per annum, depending on the Company’s net leverage ratio.

As of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the Company had borrowings outstanding of $0.7 billion and $0.8 billion, respectively, under its amended and restated credit agreement. The amount available under the revolving line of credit is further reduced by the amount of any outstanding letters of credit issued by the Company under the agreement. Accordingly, there was $302.4 million, net of outstanding letters of credit, of unused capacity on the revolving line of credit as of December 28, 2025. The Company had $68.6 million and $64.6 million of unused letters of credit available as of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively. Debt issuance costs associated with the Company’s line of credit are amortized over the term of the related line of credit. As of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, there was $2.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively, in debt issuance costs recorded in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
As of December 28, 2025, the Company had $34.7 million of surety-backed letters of credit issued outside of its amended and restated credit agreement.

Debt issuance costs associated with the Company’s term loan facility are amortized over the term of the related debt, which approximates the effective interest method. As of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, debt issuance costs of $10.8 million and $11.8 million, respectively, were recorded as a reduction to long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets.

Amortization expense related to debt issuance costs is recorded as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. During the fiscal years ended December 28, 2025, December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023 amortization of debt issuance costs was $3.6 million, $5.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively.

As of December 28, 2025, the Company had six U.S. equipment term loans with initial amounts totaling approximately $150 million, with certain owned equipment used as collateral. The loans are serviced in U.S. dollars.

The fair value of the Company’s debt as of December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024 was $0.7 billion and $0.9 billion, respectively. The carrying value of the Company’s revolving credit facility approximates fair value given interest rates on the revolving credit facility approximate market rates, and typically draws on the revolving credit facility are paid back in a short period of time. The fair values of the Company’s term loan facility and equipment loans were determined utilizing a market-based valuation approach, where fair values are determined based on evaluated pricing data, and as such are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

As of December 28, 2025, future principal payments required to be made on existing debt obligations (excluding finance lease obligations, which are discussed in “Note 13 — Leases”) are set forth in the table below (in thousands):
