01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. On December 10, 2025, Ascent Industries Co. ("Ascent") entered into a Limited Waiver, Consent and Sixth Amendment to Credit Agreement and Omnibus Amendment to Loan Documents with BMO Bank N.A. and the other lenders under Ascent's credit facility (the "Credit Facility Amendment"). The Credit Facility Amendment contains a consent for (a) Ascent entering into the previously disclosed assignment of the lease for Ascent's former tubular facility in Munhall, Pennsylvania to a new tenant, and (b) certain organizational changes relating to an internal restructuring of Ascent's chemical manufacturing businesses, including (i) updates to the names of Ascent's chemical manufacturing businesses designed to provide for more consistent branding across its manufacturing locations and (ii) the formation of a new holding company named Ascent Chemicals, LLC ("Ascent Chemicals") to own all of Ascent's chemical manufacturing businesses. The Credit Facility Amendment will also add Ascent Chemicals as a loan party to the credit facility. In addition, the Credit Facility Amendment provides a limited waiver of an event of default that occurred under the credit facility due to Ascent's repurchase of shares in an aggregate amount that exceeded the threshold set forth in Section 8.06(c) of the existing credit facility. The lenders under the credit facility have not accelerated any obligations of Ascent as a result of such event of default and will no longer have any such acceleration rights as a result of the limited waiver.
