Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. Exit ABL Facility As previously disclosed, on February 3, 2026, the Company Parties entered into a senior secured super-priority asset-based debtor-in-possession loan and security agreement (the “DIP Loan and Security Agreement”) with White Oak Commercial Finance, LLC, as agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “DIP Lenders”), which provided the Company Parties with a senior secured super-priority asset-based debtor-in-possession credit facility consisting of $125.0 million in aggregate principal amount of revolving credit commitments (the “DIP ABL Facility”), including a roll-up or refinancing of all obligations under the Prepetition Loan and Security Agreement (as defined below). On the Plan Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Exit Loan and Security Agreement”) with White Oak Commercial Finance, LLC, as agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto, and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, each DIP Lender exchanged and converted on a cashless basis all of its loans under the DIP Loan and Security Agreement for loans under the Exit Loan and Security Agreement. The Exit Loan and Security Agreement provides for a first priority senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility consisting of $135.0 million in aggregate principal amount of revolving credit commitments (the “Exit ABL Facility”). A portion of the Exit ABL Facility not in excess of $5.0 million is available for the issuance of standby letters of credit. The Company Parties’ obligations under the Exit ABL Facility are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of their tangible and intangible assets, including all machinery and equipment, and are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s existing and future domestic and Canadian subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Exit ABL Facility are subject to a borrowing base. The outstanding balance of the borrowings under the Exit ABL Facility may not exceed in the aggregate at any time the lesser of (i) $135.0 million (the “Maximum Revolving Facility Amount”) reduced by certain customary reserves and (ii) the borrowing base, which is calculated on the basis of eligible accounts, inventory, machinery and equipment, and, at the Company Parties’ election, certain real property assets of the Company Parties. In particular, the borrowing base is equal to (a) 92.5% of the aggregate amount of eligible U.S. and Canadian billed accounts receivable, plus (b) the lesser of (x) 85% of the aggregate amount of eligible U.S. and Canadian unbilled accounts receivable and (y) $6.0 million, plus (c) the lesser of (“Foreign Accounts Availability”) (x) 50% of the aggregate amount of eligible billed non-U.S. and non-Canadian accounts receivable and (y) $3.0 million, plus (d) the lower of cost or market value of eligible inventory, multiplied by the lesser of (x) 70% and (y) 85% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value divided by the book value in respect of such inventory, and, in the case of inventory constituting raw materials, not to exceed a maximum sublimit of $1 million, plus (e) the lesser of (“SOFA Availability”) (x) $10.0 million and (y) an amount equal to 10% of the borrowing base, plus (f) the lesser of (x) the sum of (1) up to 75% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible machinery and equipment (“M&E Availability”) plus (2) up to 75% of the fair market value of eligible real property owned by certain of the Company Parties (“Real Property Availability”) and (y) $30.0 million (which amount shall be permanently reduced on a monthly basis based on a 5-year straight line amortization), minus (g) the aggregate amount of reserves, if any, established by the agent under the Exit Loan and Security Agreement. The Real Property Availability is subject to the Company Parties’ election, at their option, to enter into mortgages from time to time in favor of the agent and lenders under the Exit Loan and Security Agreement with respect to their eligible real property assets as well as the satisfaction of other customary eligibility criteria with respect thereto. 1 Borrowings under the Exit ABL Facility bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the term-specific Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) for an interest period of one month, subject to a 1.50% floor, plus an applicable margin ranging from 3.50% to 4.00%, depending on the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio, subject to an additional margin of 0.50% with respect to any revolving loans or letters of credit utilizing any of M&E Availability, Real Property Availability, SOFA Availability and/or Foreign Accounts Availability. The maturity date of the Exit ABL Facility is three years after the Plan Effective Date, subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the Exit Loan and Security Agreement. The proceeds of the Exit ABL Facility have been or will be used for (i) working capital and general corporate purposes of the Company Parties, (ii) costs and expenses related to the Exit ABL Facility and (iii) refinancing of all obligations under the DIP ABL Facility. The Exit Loan and Security Agreement contains certain representations and warranties, events of default, and various affirmative and negative covenants that are customary for asset-based credit facilities of this type, including financial reporting requirements and limitations on indebtedness, liens, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, dividends and other restricted payments, and investments (including acquisitions). In addition, the Exit Loan and Security Agreement contains certain financial covenants, including a minimum excess availability of not less than $5.0 million and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10 to 1.00 that will be tested when the excess availability under the Exit ABL Facility is less than the lesser of (a) 7.5% of the lesser of (x) the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount minus reserves and (y) the borrowing base and (b) $9.0 million, which minimum fixed charge coverage ratio would apply until the excess availability is greater than or equal to such threshold for a period of 30 consecutive days. The foregoing description of the Exit ABL Facility is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Exit Loan and Security Agreement attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) as Exhibit 10.1, which is incorporated herein by reference. Registration Rights Agreement On the Plan Effective Date, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with certain of its stockholders who had received shares of New Common Stock (as defined below) pursuant to the Plan (the “Investors”). Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Investors are entitled to request that the Company file registration statements covering the resale of such shares. Also, under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Investors have certain underwritten offering demand rights and piggyback rights with respect to certain underwritten offerings conducted by the Company for its own account or for the account of other stockholders of the Company. These registration and other rights are subject to certain conditions and limitations, including the right of the underwriters to limit the number of shares to be included in an offering and the Company’s right to delay, suspend or withdraw a registration statement under certain circumstances. The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary provisions relating to the registration and other procedures to be followed by the Company, indemnification and contribution obligations, the selection of underwriters, lock-ups (to the extent requested by an applicable underwriter) and payment by the Company of registration and other expenses incident to its obligations thereunder (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Investors but excluding any underwriting discounts or commissions attributable to sales of shares by the Investors). The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Registration Rights Agreement attached to this Report as Exhibit 10.2, which is incorporated herein by reference. 2 Voting Agreements On the Plan Effective Date, the Company entered into (i) a voting agreement (the “MacKay Voting Agreement”) with MacKay Shields LLC (“MacKay”) and (ii) a voting agreement (the “Philosophy Voting Agreement”) with Philosophy Distressed and Special Solutions Fund LP, Philosophy Capital Partners, LP, Star V Partners LLC, Blackwell Partners LLC – Series A and Cassini Partners, L.P. (collectively, “Philosophy”). Certain accounts, funds and clients that MacKay has been appointed as investment manager, investment advisor or subadvisor (for which MacKay is deemed to be the beneficial owner of under Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) and Philosophy received shares of New Common Stock pursuant to the Plan and are also party to the Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the MacKay Voting Agreement, MacKay agreed, on each matter brought to a vote at any annual or special meeting of the Company’s stockholders and in connection with any action proposed to be taken by consent of the Company’s stockholders in lieu of a meeting, to vote all shares of the Company’s voting securities that are beneficially owned by MacKay that exceed the Voting Cap Threshold (as defined below) (the “MacKay Excess Voting Securities”) in the same proportion as all other votes cast by the Company’s stockholders with respect to the applicable matter, without taking into account votes cast by MacKay. MacKay may vote any of the Company’s voting securities that are not MacKay Excess Voting Securities at MacKay’s discretion. The MacKay Voting Agreement will terminate by its terms when MacKay ceases to beneficially own more than 10% or more of the Company’s voting securities then outstanding. Similarly, pursuant to the Philosophy Voting Agreement, Philosophy and any affiliate or affiliated fund thereof agreed, on each matter brought to a vote at any annual or special meeting of the Company’s stockholders and in connection with any action proposed to be taken by consent of the Company’s stockholders in lieu of a meeting, to vote all shares of the Company’s voting securities that are beneficially owned by Philosophy that, together with all voting securities that are beneficially owned by any affiliate or affiliated fund of Philosophy, exceed the Voting Cap Threshold (the “Philosophy Excess Voting Securities”) in the same proportion as all other votes cast by the Company’s stockholders with respect to the applicable matter, without taking into account votes cast by Philosophy or any affiliate or affiliated fund thereof. Philosophy and any affiliate or affiliated fund thereof may vote any of the Company’s voting securities that are not Philosophy Excess Voting Securities at their discretion. The Philosophy Voting Agreement will terminate by its terms when Philosophy and any affiliate or affiliated fund cease to beneficially own more than 10% or more of the Company’s voting securities then outstanding. The “Voting Cap Threshold” for both the MacKay Voting Agreement and the Philosophy Voting Agreement, is 10% of the total voting power of all outstanding voting securities of the Company with respect to the applicable matter as of the applicable record date, after giving effect to any other voting agreement between the Company and any of its stockholders. Also, for purposes of both the MacKay Voting Agreement and the Philosophy Voting Agreement, beneficial ownership is determined without giving effect to any voting agreement between the Company and any of its stockholders. The foregoing description of the MacKay Voting Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the MacKay Voting Agreement attached to this Report as Exhibit 10.3, which is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Philosophy Voting Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Philosophy Voting Agreement attached to this Report as Exhibit 10.4, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Hall, Julie A. Peffer, Scott E. Schwinger and Darryl K. Willis) were deemed to have resigned from the Board. Also pursuant to the Plan, as of the Effective Date, the following persons were appointed or re-appointed, as applicable, to the Board: Patrick J. Bartels, Sandy Esslemont, Ann G. Fox, Jerome (Joey) D. Hall, J. Carney Hawks and Darryl K. Willis. An additional person will be appointed to the Board by the Ad Hoc Group (as defined in the Plan).

Bartels, Esslemont and Hawks (collectively, the “new directors”) have entered into, or are expected to enter into, an indemnification agreement with the Company in substantially the same form that the Company has entered into with its other directors, which provide directors of the Company with contractual rights to indemnification, expense advancement and reimbursement to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). Additionally, non-employee directors are expected to receive an annual cash retainer fee of $100,000 in addition to other compensation elements to be determined by the Board following emergence. There are no arrangements or understandings between any of the new directors and any other person pursuant to which he was appointed as a member of the Board.

The amendments effected by the New Bylaws include, among other things: (i) permitting special meetings of stockholders to be called by the chair of the Board, the Company’s chief executive officer or the Company’s secretary upon the request of one or more stockholders who own at least 20% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors as of the date such request is delivered to the Company’s secretary (as compared to such meetings only being able to be called by the Board under the Old Bylaws) and (ii) permitting amendments to the bylaws to be adopted at any meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority (instead of 662/3% under the Old Bylaws) of the voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereon.
