Ascent Industries Co. entered into a Limited Waiver, Consent and Sixth Amendment to its credit agreement with BMO Bank N.A. and other lenders on December 10, 2025.
The amendment gives lender consent for assigning the lease of Ascent’s former tubular facility in Munhall, Pennsylvania to a new tenant and for organizational changes in its chemical manufacturing businesses, including creating a new holding company, Ascent Chemicals, LLC, which will be added as a loan party under the credit facility.
It also grants a limited waiver of an event of default that arose when Ascent repurchased shares in an aggregate amount above the repurchase threshold in the existing credit facility; the lenders did not accelerate Ascent’s obligations and, under the waiver, no longer have acceleration rights based on that default.
Ascent Industries Co. reported that on November 14, 2025 it entered into a Seventh Amended and Restated Master Lease Agreement with Store Master Funding XII, LLC. This amendment removes the company’s former Munhall, Pennsylvania facility from the master lease and reduces the rent owed under the prior Sixth Amended and Restated Master Lease Agreement. The change reflects that the Munhall tubular facility is no longer in use by the company.
The company also disclosed that its sale-leaseback partner, STORE, agreed to assign the lease for the former Munhall tubular facility, as announced in a November 17, 2025 press release furnished as an exhibit. These steps collectively adjust Ascent Industries’ lease obligations related to the former facility and align its real estate commitments with current operations.
