Event: Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement regarding the refinancing and restatement of the Company's senior unsecured revolving credit facility.

Key Financial Metrics and Debt Structure

This filing details a restructuring of the Company's credit facility rather than reporting operational financial results (revenue, profit, or cash flow). Key debt metrics include:

• Facility Amount: $2.25 billion in aggregate commitments under the senior unsecured revolving credit facility.
• Maturity Date: Extended to April 28, 2030.
• General Liens Basket: Increased from 7.5% to 10.0% of consolidated tangible assets.
• Guarantees: The Company unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the indebtedness of its subsidiary, CB International Finance S.à r.l. (CBIF).

Note: The filing text does not provide current values for revenue, net income, operating margins, or total liquidity beyond the credit facility commitment.

Material Changes Versus Prior Period

The Restatement Agreement amended and restated the Tenth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (dated April 14, 2022). The principal changes are:

1. Refinancing: The existing $2.25 billion revolving credit facility was refinanced.
2. Term Extension: The maturity date was extended by five years to April 28, 2030.
3. Covenant Adjustment: The general liens basket was increased, allowing for a higher percentage of consolidated tangible assets to be subject to liens (from 7.5% to 10.0%).
