Material Changes
On May 18, 2026, ArcBest Corporation and its subsidiary, ArcBest Funding LLC, terminated the Receivables Loan Agreement originally dated June 9, 2021.

Following termination, these letters of credit will be issued under the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated November 25, 2025.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

The company has successfully transitioned its letter of credit support to a newer credit agreement without incurring penalties or leaving any outstanding balances on the terminated facility. No new risks or contingencies were disclosed in this specific report.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Confirm the terms and capacity of the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (dated November 25, 2025) to ensure adequate coverage for self-insured liabilities.
- Verify that the transition of letters of credit from TD Bank to the new facility was executed without disruption to insurance coverage.
- Review subsequent filings for any changes in the company's self-insured liability exposure or liquidity requirements.
