Material Changes
On November 14, 2025, Vertex, Inc. entered into the First Amendment to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (dated November 4, 2025) with PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and other lenders.

- No event of default has occurred or is continuing, nor would one result from the distribution.
- The Company maintains a pro forma secured debt net leverage ratio of less than 2.50 to 1.00, calculated as if the distribution and related indebtedness occurred on the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter.
The filing does not contain forward-looking guidance on revenue or earnings, nor does it disclose new risks beyond the standard covenants of the credit agreement.
