Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Notes Offering
General
On June 16, 2026, Dorman Products, Inc. (the “Company”) issued $450,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.250% senior notes due June 2034 (the “Notes”), pursuant to an indenture, dated as of June 16, 2026 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).
The Notes pay interest semi-annually on June 15 and December 15, commencing on December 15, 2026, at a rate of 6.250% per year, and mature on June 15, 2034.
Guarantees
The obligations under the Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantees”), jointly and severally, by each of the Company’s existing and future wholly-owned subsidiaries that is a guarantor or other obligor under the Company’s Amended Credit Agreement and certain other indebtedness, as further specified in the Indenture (the “Guarantors”).
Ranking
The Notes and the Guarantees are the Company’s and the Guarantors’ general unsecured senior obligations and rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ future subordinated indebtedness and pari passu in right of payment with all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness. The Notes and the Guarantees are effectively subordinated to the Company’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness, including any borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement (as defined below), to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The Notes and the Guarantees are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other claims and liabilities, including preferred stock, of each of the Company’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes.
Optional Redemption
At any time prior to June 15, 2029, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the indenture (including any additional notes), upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 106.250% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption (subject to the rights of holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date), with the proceeds of an equity offering; provided that:
| (1) | at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under the Indenture (excluding Notes held by the Company and its subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and |
| (2) | the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such equity offering. |
At any time prior to June 15, 2029, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption, subject to the rights of holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.
Except pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Company’s option prior to June 15, 2029.
On or after June 15, 2029, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to, but not
including, the applicable date of redemption, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on June 15 of the years indicated below, subject to the rights of holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date:

The Amendment refinanced the existing revolving credit facility under the Original Credit Agreement with a new five-year revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $800,000,000, extending the maturity date to June 16, 2031. In addition, the Company repaid in full all outstanding term loans under the Original Credit Agreement together with unpaid interest and fees in respect thereof, with the proceeds from the issuance of the Notes.

Undrawn revolving commitments incur a commitment fee based on the Company’s secured net leverage ratio, ranging from 0.125% to 0.250%.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, qualifications and thresholds, place limitations on our ability, and the ability of our subsidiaries, to: incur additional indebtedness; create additional liens; enter into a merger, consolidation or amalgamation or other defined “fundamental changes;” dispose of certain assets; make certain investments or acquisitions; pay dividends, or make other restricted payments; pay junior debt or make other restricted debt payments; enter into swap agreements; or enter into transactions with our affiliates.
