Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 1, 2025, Vestis Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) to its existing Credit Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2023 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated as of February 22, 2024 and the Amendment, and as further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, as the U.S. borrower, Canadian Linen and Uniform Service Corp. (the “Canadian Borrower”), the other subsidiaries of the Company party thereto from time to time, the lenders and financial institutions party thereto from time to time (the “Lenders”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent. The Amendment increases the net leverage covenant ratio from 4.50x to (i) 5.25x for any fiscal quarter ending prior to July 3, 2026, (ii) 5.00x for the fiscal quarter ending July 3, 2026 and (iii) 4.75x for the fiscal quarter ending October 2, 2026. The net leverage covenant ratio remains at 4.50x for the first fiscal quarter of 2027 through maturity. The Amendment also provides a $15 million bad debt expense adjustment to EBITDA in the fiscal quarter ended March 28, 2025 solely for purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants. The Amendment restricts the Company from making share repurchases and dividends (subject to certain exceptions) and caps the amount of indebtedness under receivables facilities to $250 million, in each case until the earlier of (i) any fiscal quarter ending after October 2, 2026 so long as the Company is then in compliance with the financial covenants and (ii) when the Company achieves a net leverage ratio below or equal to 4.50x as of the last day of two consecutive quarters through the end of fiscal 2026.
A copy of the Amendment is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K and attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing description of the Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment.
