As previously disclosed, on October 15, 2024, The Container Store Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) and collaboration agreement with Beyond, Inc. (“Beyond”). While these agreements remain in effect, based on recent developments, including Beyond’s November 20, 2024 press release, at the present time the Company does not expect that the conditions to closing in the SPA will be satisfied or that the transactions contemplated by the SPA will be consummated on the previously disclosed terms. The Company remains focused on the successful execution of its strategic initiatives.

The Company is in advanced discussions with the lenders under its existing term loan credit agreement to provide additional capital to support the Company and its long-term growth and success, reflecting their continued support of the Company's business and strategic initiatives.
