ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
On June 5, 2026, Werner Receivables Company, LLC (“WRC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Werner Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company"), entered into a third amendment ("Amendment No. 3") to its Loan and Security Agreement, as amended (the "LSA"), as borrower, together with the Company as the servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as a committed lender and group agent, GTA Funding LLC as a conduit lender, and The Toronto-Dominion Bank (“TD Bank”) as a related committed lender, group agent, and administrative agent. WRC was formed for the purpose of acquiring rights to payment (“Receivables”) arising from services provided by the Company to its customers. The Company has contributed Receivables to WRC and sells Receivables to WRC on a non-recourse basis.
Amendment No. 3 establishes a maximum funding limit of $350 million in cash proceeds for WRC under the LSA, subject to eligible Receivables, which may increase to $400 million upon WRC's request and acceptance thereof by TD Bank and committed lenders. Prior to Amendment No. 3, the maximum funding limit was $325 million in cash proceeds, which may have increased to $350 million upon request and acceptance. Amendment No. 3 also incorporates language from the Performance Guaranty Agreement (“Performance Guaranty”), dated as of June 5, 2026, between the Company as performance guarantor, and TD Bank as administrative agent for and on behalf of the credit partiers and the other secured parties, from time to time (collectively, the “Beneficiaries”) under the LSA.
Under the Performance Guaranty, the Company provides an unconditional, irrevocable guaranty to the Beneficiaries, supporting the obligations (monetary and non-monetary) of WRC, the Company as the servicer, and any other originators under the LSA. The guaranty remains in effect until all obligations are paid and performed in full.
The foregoing description of Amendment No. 3 and the Performance Guaranty do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of Amendment No. 3 and the Performance Guaranty, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this report, and are incorporated by reference herein.
