Leslie’s, Inc. and its subsidiaries filed voluntary Chapter 11 petitions on September 30, 2026, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas to implement a pre-arranged plan of reorganization. On the petition date, the company parties entered into a restructuring support agreement with certain term-loan holders and investment advisers, sub-advisers or managers to funds holding the loans. On October 20, 2026, they filed a joint reorganization plan and disclosure statement, which they said are consistent with the agreement. Completion depends on Bankruptcy Court and requisite stakeholder approvals.
Nasdaq determined it would delist Leslie’s common stock after its bid price closed below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days and after the Chapter 11 cases began. Trading was suspended on Nasdaq on October 6, 2026, and the stock began trading on the Pink Limited Market under LESLQ. Delisting becomes effective 10 calendar days after Nasdaq files Form 25; deregistration under Section 12(b) follows 90 days after filing, or a shorter period set by the SEC. Leslie’s cautions that trading is highly speculative and expects equity holders may experience a significant loss if the Plan is confirmed.

After interim court approval on October 1, the Company Parties entered a $90.0 million debtor-in-possession term loan and a $225.0 million ABL revolving facility on October 2. Leslie’s borrowed $45.0 million under the term facility that day; another $45 million is available in a single draw after conditions including entry of a final order. No ABL loans were drawn that day.
Proceeds of all or a portion of the facilities will pay certain Chapter 11 costs and fund working capital, subject to the credit agreements and court orders. Both facilities are secured by liens on substantially all Company Parties’ assets, subject to the Interim DIP Order. Each matures six months from October 2, 2026, subject to milestones and earlier maturity upon the Plan Effective Date; rates are SOFR plus 6.50% for the term facility and SOFR plus 3.25% for ABL.
