Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 17, 2026, Ascent Industries Co. (the "Company”) entered into an Omnibus Joinder 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 was entered into in connection with the Company's recently announced acquisition of Midwest Graphic Sales, Inc. and Sigma Coatings, Inc. (together "Midwest"). In connection with the acquisition, the Company formed Ascent Chemicals - MGS, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary, to hold the acquired business and the related assets. Pursuant to the amendment, the Credit Agreement was amended to reflect the addition of Ascent Chemicals - MGS, LLC as a loan party and to make certain related conforming changes, including updates to the schedules and exhibits thereto.
Except as expressly modified by the Credit Facility Amendment, the material terms of the Credit Agreement remain unchanged and continue in full force and effect. The foregoing description of the Credit Facility Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Facility Amendment, which will be filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
