ITEM 2.03. CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION On November 25, 2025, J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. and its principal operating subsidiary, J.B. Hunt Transport, Inc. (collectively, "we" or the "Company"), entered into a $1.7 billion Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated November 25, 2025, by and among J.B. Hunt Transport, Inc., as borrower, J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc., as parent guarantor, the lenders named therein, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent. This amended credit facility extends the maturity date of our existing $1.0 billion revolving line of credit for a new five-year term, expiring November 25, 2030, with a right to request two one-year extensions of the maturity date (which, if fully exercised and agreed to by the lenders, would extend the revolving line of credit expiration date to November 25, 2032). The amended credit facility includes an increased accordion feature giving the borrower the right to request an increase in the total commitment by up to $400 million, a $100 million increase from the prior $300 million accordion (which, if fully exercised and agreed to by the lenders, would increase the revolving line of credit to $1.4 billion). Additionally, the amended credit facility provides a commitment of the lenders, upon requests of the borrower during the six-month period beginning November 25, 2025, to fund up to $700 million of term loans that, if and when so funded, would mature on November 25, 2028.
