The Debtor's business operations and revenue depend primarily on leasing a single real property for residential or commercial use, making its accounts receivable, rental income, and ongoing proceeds cash collateral under 11 U.S.C. section 363(a). The Debtor identifies Arvest Bank as the sole creditor holding a potential security interest in the cash collateral for which no prior agreement for use exists. The Debtor lacks alternative, unencumbered sources of funding or debtor-in-possession financing options to maintain operations. Consequently, the Debtor requests authority to use cash collateral nunc pro tunc to the petition date to pay essential business needs, emphasizing that denial of the motion would cause immediate, irreparable harm to the estate and destroy any prospects for reorganization. To protect the secured creditor's interest, the Debtor maintains that Arvest Bank is adequately protected by a significant "equity cushion," as the aggregate value of the real property exceeds the total amount of secured claims assertable against it. In addition, expenditures will be strictly restricted to post-petition operational obligations, with no pre-petition debt payments allowed without prior court authorization. The Debtor commits to retaining required operating cash in a designated debtor-in-possession account, accumulating unused surplus funds for distribution under a confirmed Chapter 11 plan, and accounting for all income and disbursements through monthly operating reports submitted to the Office of the U.S. Trustee. Authority to use cash collateral will automatically terminate upon case conversion to Chapter 7, plan confirmation, or further order of the court. A court hearing is scheduled for August 5. A copy of the motion is available at https://urlcurt.com/u?l=tEjF3z from PacerMonitor.com. About 1323 BLDG LLC 1323 BLDG, LLC sought protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr.

The Debtors seek authority to sell the Property on an as-is, where-is basis, free and clear of all liens, claims, interests, and encumbrances, with such interests to attach to the net proceeds of sale in the same priority, validity, and extent, subject to applicable defenses and objections. The sale shall be conducted by auction, without a stalking horse bidder, and all Qualified Bidders shall have the right to bid. RIC Blue Lagoon, LLC (RBL) is deemed a Qualified Bidder and may credit bid the full amount of its secured claim, which, as of the date of the auction, is not less than $23,425,000.00, subject to adjustment through the date of closing.

The successful bidder, if other than RBL, must pay an additional deposit of $500,000 in readily available cash funds on or before close of business on the next business day following the auction, which is August 17, 2026. RBL's credit bid, and any credit bid plus cash bid, shall each constitute a Qualified Bid without the need for any registration, deposit, or additional documentation.

New York Transportation Inc. and Luxury Transportation Group Incorporated to use their cash collateral. The Debtors are currently authorized to use cash collateral under the court's July 22 sixth interim order. This authorization expires on August 6. The sixth interim order granted the U.S. Small Business Administration adequate protection through a perfected post-petition replacement lien on the cash collateral, with the same validity and priority as its pre-bankruptcy lien. Additional safeguards include insurance coverage. Prior to the petition date, the Debtors obtained financing from the SBA which, based on records maintained with the State of Florida, is purportedly secured by liens on their cash and cash equivalents.

In addition, there may be other creditors that assert their interest in the Debtors' cash equivalents, including creditors whose interests are inferior to those of the SBA.

AQUA METALS: Q2 Net Loss Narrows to $4.48M, Going Concern Persists ------------------------------------------------------------------ Aqua Metals, Inc. filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, reporting a net loss of $4.48 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a net loss of $6,770,000 for the same period in the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company reported a net loss of $8,434,000 and $15,085,000, respectively, and negative cash from operations of $6,474,000 and $5,299,000, respectively. The decrease in net loss during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, was due mainly to a non-cash impairment expense of $9,012,000 recognized during the prior-year period related to construction-in-progress for the facility located at the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center. The Company has not generated revenues from commercial operations and expects to continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4,744,000, working capital of approximately $4,047,000 and an accumulated deficit of $278,850,000. As an additional liquidity source, the Company maintains an At-the-Market offering program. Under the ATM Sales Agreement with The Benchmark Company, LLC, the Company is permitted to offer and sell shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, from time to time through Benchmark, acting as sales agent, with an aggregate offering price of up to $30 million, later increased to $50 million. Sales of common stock, if any, under the ATM program are deemed to be "at-the-market" offerings as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company sold an aggregate of 379,772 shares of common stock for net proceeds of approximately $1,876,000, after deducting sales commissions and offering expenses. As of June 30, 2026, $48,050,000 remains available for issuance under the ATM program. In addition to the ATM program, the Company also maintains an equity line of credit with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC providing for aggregate sales of up to $10 million of common stock. However, pursuant to the securities purchase agreement entered into in connection with the Company's October 2025 registered direct offering, the Company is restricted from entering into certain variable rate transactions, which limits the Company's ability to utilize the ELOC for a period of twelve months following the closing of that transaction. The Company may issue additional shares under the facility in the future, subject to the terms of the agreement and applicable registration requirements. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, under the 2026 ESPP program, the Company sold 131,569 shares of common stock for net proceeds of approximately $621,000. However, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate whether or at what level such proceeds will recur in future periods. Going Concern Management believes that there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within the next 12 months. Given the Company's continuing losses and expected cash requirements, additional capital will be necessary to fund ongoing operations. While the Company intends to pursue such funding opportunities, including through the ATM program, ELOC, and other potential financing arrangements, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

New York, New York -based Forvis Mazars, LLP, the Company's auditor since 2023, issued a "going concern" qualification in its report dated March 30, 2026, attached to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2025, citing that the Company has incurred substantial operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $12,622,000 in total assets, $3,092,000 in total liabilities, and $9.53 million in total stockholders' equity. ARCIS GOLF: Moody's Affirms 'B2' CFR, Outlook Stable ---------------------------------------------------- Moody's Ratings affirmed Arcis Golf LLC's (Arcis) B2 Corporate Family Rating and B2-PD Probability of Default Rating. Concurrently, Moody's assigned B2 ratings to the proposed $865 million senior secured first lien term loan due 2033 and $90 million senior secured first lien revolving credit facility due 2031. Moody's also affirmed the B2 ratings on the company's existing senior secured first lien bank credit facilities, consisting of a revolving credit facility, term loan and delayed draw term loan. The ratings on these facilities will be withdrawn upon closing of the proposed transaction. The ratings outlook remains stable. Arcis plans to utilized the proceeds from the proposed $865 million term loan, together with approximately $30 million of balance sheet cash, to refinance the existing $682 million term loan, fund a $200 million distribution to shareholders and pay associated fees and expenses. The proposed revolving credit facility is expected to remain undrawn at close. The transaction is credit negative because it will increase debt, leverage and cash interest expense. The affirmation reflects Moody's expectations that Arcis will reduce debt-to-EBITDA leverage to below 5x through earnings growth from the elevated low-5x range pro forma for the proposed transaction. The company continues to benefit from the sustained popularity of golf and the strength of its membership-based business model, which supported same-store revenue growth of 5.4% in 2025 and 12.2% in the first quarter of 2026. Performance has been driven by higher membership revenue resulting from increased average dues and a stable membership base, while rounds played increased 4.4% in the 12 months ended March 31, 2026. Continued demand for golf activity, slowing membership attrition, and the successful integration of the Texas and three Georgia acquisitions completed in mid-2025 are supporting earnings growth and improved profitability, with Moody's-adjusted EBITDA margin increasing to 26.7%, the highest level in the past five years. Arcis' continued ability to deliver steady operating performance despite its narrow business focus, exposure to cyclical consumer discretionary spending, and recurring reinvestment needs reflects the favorable golf industry backdrop and the company's good operating execution. The transaction nevertheless reflects an aggressive financial policy under private equity ownership, with the incremental debt used to fund a shareholder distribution. The sponsors remain supportive of the company and contributed meaningful equity in 2025 to help fund the Texas and Georgia acquisitions. This demonstrates a willingness to support the balance sheet during periods of business investment. Moody's expects leverage to decline to the mid-4x range over the next 12 to 18 months through continued earnings growth, stable rounds played, higher average dues, steady membership gains, and the full-year earnings contribution from recent acquisitions. Increased membership revenue, which now accounts for nearly 40% of total revenue, provides greater revenue visibility, given that private club members operate under a dues-based model with lower attrition rates, higher initiation fees, and higher average dues. RATINGS RATIONALE Arcis' B2 CFR reflects the company's narrow business focus as a golf club owner and operator, exposure to cyclical consumer discretionary spending, recurring reinvestment needs and elevated debt-to-EBITDA leverage in a low-5.0x range. Arcis has geographic concentration in Texas and Arizona, where competition is high, and is susceptible to regional economic and weather conditions. Golf and country clubs require high capital spending for ongoing maintenance and upgrades of facilities and amenities to maintain service offerings and premium pricing. The company's growth by debt-financed tuck-in acquisitions strategy increases financial leverage but also expands the revenue scale and geographic locations. The rating also reflects the company's position as the second largest golf club owner and operator in the US with both high-end private clubs and more accessible public courses that offer daily fee access. Approximately 40% of the company's revenue is recurring in nature, underpinned by a dues-based membership business and an affluent clientele. Arcis' membership attrition in the low-mid teens compares favorably to attrition rates of 30% to 40% typical of other membership-based consumer businesses such as fitness clubs and country club-lite operators, providing an additional layer of stability to the recurring revenue base. Arcis' significant real estate value provides good collateral support with the company owning the real estate associated with the majority of its clubs. All fee-owned real estate located in Arizona and Texas is pledged to the credit facility, which real estate is associated with clubs that the company estimates contribute approximately 62% of the company's fully owned fee simple four-wall EBITDA. Arcis' good liquidity is supported by relatively good free cash flow generation, ample revolver availability, approximately $80 million of cash on balance sheet pro forma for the transaction and several unencumbered properties. The company also has flexibility to adjust growth capital spending depending on operating performance to temporarily preserve cash if necessary. The company will have no near-term maturities, full availability under its $90 million revolving credit facility, and positive free cash flow projected in the $40 million range, which provides flexibility to reinvest in the business, pursue growth initiatives including potential acquisitions, and navigate any potential softness in discretionary consumer demand. FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectations that golf activity will continue to remain steady and relatively in line with the strong demand experienced during the pandemic. The outlook also reflects Moody's views that debt-to-EBITDA leverage will decline to the mid-4x range over the next 12 to 18 months and that the company will generate comfortably positive free cash flow after funding growth investments. Ratings could be upgraded if Arcis demonstrates a consistent track record of organic revenue and earnings growth, debt-to-EBITDA is sustained below 4.0x, and free cash flow to debt is sustained in at least a high single digit percentage range while continuing solid facility reinvestment. Good liquidity with ample revolver availability and financial policies that support credit metrics at the above levels are also necessary for an upgrade. Ratings could be downgraded if Arcis' operating performance deteriorates due to factors such as a decline in membership, pricing power, or golf rounds, or an increase in operating costs. Debt-to-EBITDA sustained above 5.0x, debt-funded acquisitions or shareholder distributions or a deterioration in liquidity could also lead to a downgrade. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, Arcis Golf LLC is an owner and operator of golf clubs. The company operates 35 private clubs and 34 daily fee clubs in 14 states. Arcis Golf is owned by Atairos and Fortress Investment Group. Revenue for the last 12 months (LTM) period ending March 31, 2026 was about $629 million. The principal methodology used in these ratings was Business and Consumer Services published in February 2026.

BLUE RACER: Moody's Ups CFR to Ba3 & Senior Unsecured Notes to B1 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Moody's Ratings upgraded Blue Racer Midstream, LLC's (Blue Racer) Corporate Family Rating to Ba3 from B1, Probability of Default Rating to Ba3-PD from B1-PD, and senior unsecured notes rating to B1 from B2 previously. The outlook remains stable. "The upgrade reflects the stability of Blue Racer's credit profile, Moody's expectations that the company will continue to maintain leverage below 4x, and improvements in the credit quality of its counterparties," said Jake Leiby, Moody's Ratings Vice President. RATINGS RATIONALE The Ba3 CFR reflects the stability in Blue Racer's leverage and earnings profiles in recent years, exposure to volumetric risk, and exposure to non-investment grade and privately owned upstream counterparties. The rating also reflects the company's concentration in Appalachia, private ownership, and potential capital needs to support future expansions. Blue Racer's Ba3 CFR is supported by its long-term fee-based cash flow underpinned by minimum volume, demand charge, flow commitment and acreage dedication contracts; its integrated midstream assets in the liquids-rich portion of Appalachia; its establishment of a base level of operating cash flow; and its supportive ownership group. The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectations for Blue Racer's credit metrics to remain steady as it continues to organically grow its business. Moody's expects Blue Racer to maintain adequate liquidity through at least 2027, based on expected free cash flow generation and availability on its revolving credit facility. The company had $8 million of cash on hand and $431 million of borrowings outstanding under its secured revolving credit facility as of the end of the first quarter of 2026. The size of the secured revolving credit facility was increased to $700 million from $600 million in May 2026, leaving $269 million of pro forma availability at the end of the first quarter of 2026. The revolving credit facility has several financial covenants, including a maximum total leverage ratio of 5.25x, maximum first-lien leverage ratio of 3.25x, and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.5x. Moody's expects Blue Racer to remain in compliance with covenants through 2027. Blue Racer's senior unsecured notes are rated B1, one notch below the CFR, reflecting the priority ranking and size of the company's $700 million committed secured revolving credit facility. Blue Racer's revolving credit facility has a priority claim over the notes and is secured by substantially all the assets of Blue Racer and its current and future material subsidiaries. FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS Blue Racer's ratings could be upgraded if it increases scale and extends its contract tenor with solid counterparties. Leverage (debt/EBITDA) sustained below 3.5x would also be supportive of an upgrade. A downgrade of Blue Racer's ratings could be considered if debt/EBITDA rises above 4.25x, or if it experiences a material or sustained drop in throughput volumes and EBITDA. A deterioration in its overall counterparty credit risk profile could also support a downgrade.

BLUE STAR: Q2 Net Loss Narrows to $65,125; Going Concern Persists ----------------------------------------------------------------- Blue Star Foods Corp. filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, reporting a net loss of $65,125 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a net loss of $651,818 for the same period in the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company reported a net loss of $800,438, compared to a net loss of $1,851,748 in the corresponding prior-year period. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2026, were $532,417, compared to $1,172,340 in the prior-year period. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2026, decreased to $782,676 from $2,133,098 in the same period of the prior year. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash of $11,119, a working capital deficit of $3,136,801, inventory of $393,185, and accounts receivable of $31,561. The Company's primary sources of liquidity have historically consisted of cash flow generated from operations, capital investments, notes payable, and a working capital line of credit. Cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $95,945 as compared to cash used in operating activities of $188,245 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease is primarily attributable to decrease in inventory of $10,369 and decrease in other current assets of $511,467, offset by the increase in receivable of $7,445 and decrease in payables and accruals of $259,082 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2025. Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was $0 as compared to cash used in investing activities of $9,914 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was mainly attributable to no purchases of fixed assets for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the purchases of fixed assets for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Cash Provided by Financing Activities. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was $55,318 as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $9,162 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease is mainly attributable to the decreased repayments of short-term loans and less proceeds from short-term loans during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Going Concern For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company incurred a net loss of $800,438, had an accumulated deficit of $50,672,170 and a working capital deficit of $3,136,801. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company's ability to increase revenues, execute on its business plan to acquire complimentary companies, raise capital, and to continue to sustain adequate working capital to finance its operations. Failure to achieve the necessary levels of profitability and cash flows would be detrimental to the Company.

CENTRAL GARDEN: Trixie Transaction No Impact on Moody's 'Ba3' CFR ----------------------------------------------------------------- Moody's Ratings said Central Garden & Pet Company's (CENT, CENTA) planned acquisition of an 80% ownership stake in Trixie Heimtierbedarf GmbH & Co. KG (Trixie) is credit positive because it expands the company's pet platform in Europe, strengthens its market position in pet supplies and is expected to be funded with existing cash. The acquisition does not affect CENT's existing ratings including the company's Ba3 Corporate Family Rating or stable outlook. On June 27, 2026, CENT announced that it would acquire Trixie, a Germany based pet supplies and pet snacks company. Founded in 1974 and headquartered in Tarp, Germany, Trixie generates revenue in the high $200 million range and derives more than 90% of its sales from owned brands that are widely recognized across Europe. CENT is acquiring an 80% ownership stake in Trixie for EUR340 million upfront, with an additional contingent consideration tied to an earnout. The transaction is expected to be funded with cash on hand. As of March 2026, CENT had approximately $653 million of cash. The acquisition enhances CENT's geographic diversification and provides access to a large European pet market. Trixie's portfolio includes more than 6,000 products spanning multiple pet categories, supported by in-house design, sourcing capabilities and a highly automated logistics network. The business complements CENT's existing pet segment, expands its customer reach and establishes a scaled platform for future growth across Europe. The positive considerations are partially balanced by integration and execution risks including expanding the business within Europe, and a reduction in cash and liquidity. Moody's expects the acquisition to strengthen CENT's pet segment while moderately reducing leverage because it will be funded with cash on hand. The company expects the transaction to close in 2027, subject to regulatory approvals. CENT plans to integrate Trixie into its pet segment while retaining existing leadership and minority owners for at least three years, which should help preserve local market knowledge, customer relationships and business continuity. The transaction does not affect the existing ratings because Moody's projects debt-to-EBITDA leverage (3.2x as of March 2026 incorporating Moody's adjustments) to remain in a low 3x range that is within Moody's expectations for the rating. Central Garden & Pet Company is headquartered in Walnut Creek, California and manufactures branded products and distributes third-party products in the US lawn and garden and pet supplies industries. Revenue was about $3.2 billion for the trailing 12 months ended March 31, 2026.

Geno, Esq., at the Law Offices of Craig M. Geno, PLLC represents the Debtor as legal counsel. CHS/COMMUNITY HEALTH: Moody's Ups CFR to Caa1 & Secured Notes to B3 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Moody's Ratings upgraded CHS/Community Health Systems, Inc.'s ("CHS") Corporate Family Rating to Caa1 from Caa2 and Probability of Default Rating to Caa1-PD from Caa2-PD. Concurrently, Moody's also upgraded the rating on the company's senior secured notes to B3 from Caa1, affirmed the Caa3 rating on the junior-priority secured notes, and upgraded the senior unsecured notes rating to Caa3 from Ca. Moody's also upgraded CHS' Speculative Grade Liquidity (SGL) Rating to SGL-3 from SGL-4. The outlook remains stable. The ratings upgrade reflects the company's material deleveraging in recent years through substantial debt paydown, while maintaining revenue and EBITDA at nearly flat level. Moody's expects that the company will continue to execute its business optimization strategy focused on divestiture of non-core assets, debt pay down using proceeds from asset sales, and it will operate with debt/EBITDA in the low-mid 7.0 times over the next 12-18 months. RATINGS RATIONALE CHS/Community Health Systems, Inc.'s Caa1 CFR reflects the company's high financial leverage, execution risks associated with ongoing business divestiture/optimization strategy, and challenges in generating positive free cash flow. While the company has reduced its cash burn in recent years, and generated positive free cash flow in fiscal 2025, the transition to a sustained positive free cash flow will require reduced working capital volatility and further improvement in profitability of the company's core business. CHS' rating is supported by its large scale, geographical diversity through operations in 12 states, and continued progress of its business divestiture/optimization program. The company's business divestiture/optimization program has helped the company gradually improve its profitability, while paying down significant amounts of its outstanding debt. CHS also maintains solid access to the capital markets, which has enabled it to refinance a significant portion of its near-term maturities and extend its maturity profile. The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectations that the company will operate with debt/EBITDA in the low-to-mid 7.0x range while maintaining adequate liquidity. Moody's views CHS' liquidity to be adequate (SGL-3). As of June 30, 2026, liquidity was supported by $149 million cash on hand and no borrowings on the $1.0 billion ABL facility (approximately $751 million available based on borrowing base limitations). Depending on the success of the company's working capital management efforts, Moody's expects that the free cash flow will be negative $50 million-to-breakeven range in the next 12 months. The company does not have any meaningful debt maturities before 2029. Community Health's senior secured notes are rated B3, one notch higher than the CFR of Caa1. This reflects the priority claim of senior secured debt on the company's collateral assets and the presence of a considerable amount of junior/unsecured debt. The company's junior priority secured notes are rated two notches below the CFR, at Caa3. These notes have a second lien on tangible and intangible assets that secure the first lien debt and a third priority lien on the ABL collateral. CHS' unsecured notes, which only have a small outstanding amount, are also rated Caa3. FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS The ratings could be upgraded if CHS is able to improve patient volumes, continues to benefit from a favorable shift in payor mix, and expands operating margins. An upgrade would also require a continued reduction in financial leverage and sustained positive free cash flow, together with stronger interest coverage. The ratings could be downgraded if liquidity erodes including a greater reliance on asset sales to meet routine debt obligations. The ratings could also be pressured by weakening operating performance (declining volumes, margin compression, or an unfavorable payor-mix shift), rising financial leverage, or sustained negative free cash flow. A downgrade could also occur if the likelihood of a distressed exchange increases. CHS/Community Health Systems, Inc., headquartered in Franklin, TN, is a provider of healthcare services, developing and operating healthcare delivery systems in 32 distinct markets across 12 states. Revenue was $12 billion for the twelve months ended June 30, 2026. The principal methodology used in these ratings was Business and Consumer Services published in February 2026. CHS/Community Health Systems, Inc.'s Caa1 CFR is three notches below the B1 scorecard indicated outcome. The difference reflects a scorecard factor that is upwardly skewed by the company's scale. The actual rating considers the weak credit metrics including high financial leverage. CLEAN ENERGY: Raises $125,000 via Convertible Note Financing ------------------------------------------------------------ Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. said in a regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that it entered into a securities purchase agreement with 1800 Diagonal Lending LLC, a Virginia limited liability company, effective July 29, 2026. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, the Company sold, and 1800 Diagonal purchased, a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $147,840 for a purchase price of $132,000. The Transaction was funded by 1800 Diagonal and closed on July 29, 2026, and pursuant to the 1800 SPA, 1800 Diagonal's legal expenses of $2,500 were paid from the gross purchase price, $4,500 was retained by 1800 Diagonal as a due diligence fee, the Company received net funding of $125,000, and the 1800 Note was issued to 1800 Diagonal. The 1800 SPA includes customary representations, warranties, and covenants by the Company and customary closing conditions. The 1800 SPA requires that the proceeds from the Transaction be used for general working capital purposes. The 1800 Note matures on April 30, 2027, accrues a one-time interest charge of 12% on the issuance date, shall be paid in 9 monthly payments in the amount of $18,397.78 beginning on Aug. 30, 2026, and continuing on the 30th of each month thereafter, and is convertible following default into shares of the Company's common stock at the election of the holder at a conversion price equal to 85% of the lowest closing bid price during the 10 trading days prior to the conversion date; provided, however, that the holder may not convert the 1800 Note: (i) to the extent that such conversion would result in the holder's beneficial ownership of the Company's common stock being in excess of 4.99% of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock, or (ii) if conversion would result in more than 19.99% of the shares of Company common stock being issued after any required aggregation per Rule 5635(d) when the shareholder approval required by Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) has not been obtained. Additionally, the holder of the 1800 Note is entitled to deduct $1,500 from the conversion amount in each note conversion to cover the holder's fees associated with the conversion.

CONVERGINT TECHNOLOGIES: Moody's Alters Outlook on B3 CFR to Pos. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Moody's Ratings affirmed Convergint Technologies Group Holdings LLC (Convergint) B3 corporate family rating and B3-PD probability of default rating. Concurrently, Moody's downgraded to B3 from B2 DG Investment Intermediate Holdings 2, Inc.'s (DG) senior secured first-lien bank credit facility ratings, including the $300 million revolving credit facility due 2030 and $2,400 million term loan which will be upsized to $2,713 million as part of the proposed refinancing transaction. Moody's also revised the outlooks to positive from stable. The net proceeds from the upsized term loan will be used to fully repay DG's existing $280 million senior secured second-lien term loan and increase cash on the balance sheet. The Caa2 senior secured second-lien term loan rating will be withdrawn upon transaction close. Moody's views the repricing of the first-lien debt and repayment of the second-lien term loan as a credit positive and a positive liquidity development because it lowers interest expense, which Moody's expects will contribute to higher free cash flow. The affirmation of the B3 CFR and outlook revision to positive from stable reflects Convergint's improved earnings growth, enhanced liquidity and stronger free cash flow profile. Furthermore, Moody's expects further deleveraging through continued strong earnings growth. The downgrade of the senior secured first-lien ratings to B3 from B2 reflects the elimination of the loss absorption within the capital structure that had been provided by the second lien term loan. As the first-lien debts now represent the preponderance of the obligations in the capital structure, they are rated in line with the B3 CFR. ESG governance risks, especially Moody's expectations for aggressive financial policies under concentrated private company ownership, including for additional debt-financed acquisitions and dividends, were a key rating consideration. A comprehensive review of all credit ratings for the respective issuer(s) has been conducted during a rating committee. RATINGS RATIONALE Convergint's B3 CFR reflects the company's elevated financial leverage, with debt/EBITDA of approximately 7x as of March 31, 2026 (pro forma for acquisitions and the proposed transaction), modest profitability rates and governance considerations stemming from the company's concentrated equity ownership. Moody's expects revenue and EBITDA growth to drive a reduction in debt/EBITDA towards 6x over the next 12 to 18 months. The credit profile is also pressured by macroeconomic-driven cyclicality and the potential for periodic supply constraints, which may limit the company's ability to fully capitalize on favorable secular demand in the commercial security systems services market. Convergint's acquisitive growth strategy introduces the risk of incremental, debt-funded acquisitions that could impede deleveraging. In addition, a recent history of debt-funded shareholder returns highlights aggressive financial strategies. The ratings are supported by Convergint's global operating scale and a highly recurring revenue base with limited customer and end-market concentration, as well as Moody's expectations for sustained demand and robust growth in commercial security installation services. Moody's also expects the company's low capital intensity and the benefits of lower interest expense following the refinancing and existing interest rate hedges—covering approximately 52% of the floating rate term loan through July 2027—to support positive, albeit modest, free cash flow over the next 12 to 15 months. DG Investment Intermediate Holdings 2, Inc. is the borrower under the credit facilities and an indirect subsidiary of Convergint. The rated debt is guaranteed by Convergint and substantially all of its wholly owned, non-excluded subsidiaries, with each guarantee secured on a first-lien basis by all assets. Moody's considers Convergint's liquidity profile as good, supported by approximately $310 million of cash expected at transaction close and Moody's expectations that annual FCF/debt will approach 6% over the next 12 to 15 months. The company's $300 million senior secured first-lien revolving credit facility, which Moody's expects to remain undrawn, provides additional support. Supply chain disruptions in past years have delayed the completion of system installations, leading to working capital outflows and free cash flow deficits during 2021–2023. Although Moody's do not anticipate free cash flow deficits in the near term, the potential for a periodic recurrence of such disruptions or other operational underperformance introduces uncertainty to Convergint's liquidity position and overall credit profile, as it could necessitate intermittent borrowings under the revolver. While Convergint's term loans are not subject to financial covenants, access to the revolving credit facility is subject to compliance with a springing covenant (activated if utilization is above 40%) based on a maximum first lien net leverage ratio of 10.375x. Moody's anticipates that the company should be comfortably in compliance with the covenant if it is tested over the next 12-15 months. The positive outlook reflects Moody's expectations that if Convergint generates high single-digit organic revenue growth over the next 12 to 18 months, achieves EBITDA margin expansion sustained above 13% and adopts balanced financial strategies, it can reduce debt/EBITDA towards 6x over the next 12 to 18 months. The outlook could be revised to stable if revenue growth slows, profit margins do not improve or the company maintains aggressive financial strategies, including the use of debt for material acquisitions or shareholder returns. FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS A ratings upgrade may be considered upon the achievement of ongoing strong revenue gains, margin expansion and debt/EBITDA sustained below 6x while Convergint adopts balanced financial strategies, as evidenced by minimal dividend distributions and balanced funding of acquisitions. As the outlook is positive, a downgrade is not likely in the near term. The ratings could be downgraded if Convergint experiences a material deceleration in revenue and EBITDA growth such that Moody's expect debt/EBITDA leverage to increase. A downgrade could also occur if the company's liquidity profile weakens. The principal methodology used in these ratings was Business and Consumer Services published in February 2026. Convergint is a service-based organization that designs, installs, and maintains building systems, with a focus in the areas of security systems with ancillary services in fire alarm/notification and life safety. Convergint is owned by Ares Management Corporation, Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., and funds managed by Harvest Partners, LP. Moody's expects the company to generate revenue approximating $3.4 billion in 2026. CORE AI HOLDINGS: Falls Below Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement ------------------------------------------------------------------ Core AI Holdings, Inc. on July 31, 2026, received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for its common shares listed on Nasdaq from June 17, 2026 through July 30, 2026. As set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), the Company's common shares listed for trading on the Nasdaq must maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share and failure to meet it for 30 consecutive trading days constitutes a compliance deficiency. The notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common shares on Nasdaq. In accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days from the date of notification, or until Jan. 27, 2027, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. During this period, the Company's common shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Markets. If at any time during the Initial Compliance Period, the closing bid price of the Company's common shares is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days, Nasdaq will provide a written notification of compliance notifying that the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. If the Company does not regain compliance by Jan. 27, 2027, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar-day compliance period. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company meets these requirements, Nasdaq will inform the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar days.

The Equipment does not include firearms held on consignment for third parties, in which the Debtor holds no ownership interest, and does not include the Debtor's firearms, ammunition, gun parts, accessories, and firearms inventory. The auction of the Equipment will be held on or about August 15, 2026, commencing at 10:00 a.m., or at such other time on that date as the Auctioneer may advertise, on site at the Debtor's former place of business, 6201 Robinson Street, Overland Park, Kansas 66202.

FINCO I LLC: Moody's Affirms 'Ba1' CFR, Outlook Remains Stable -------------------------------------------------------------- Moody's Ratings has affirmed FinCo I LLC's (d/b/a Fortress) Ba1 corporate family rating and Ba1-PD probability of default rating. Moody's also affirmed Fortress' existing senior secured first lien term loan and senior secured revolving credit facility at Ba1. The outlook remains stable. RATINGS RATIONALE The rating affirmation reflects Moody's expectations that Fortress' expanding sources of recurring management fee earnings and fundraising momentum will support stable credit metrics over time. The company has demonstrated solid execution of several strategic initiatives, particularly in insurance and private wealth, where newly launched vehicles have already grown to more than $4 billion in assets under management (AUM). Combined with more than $1 billion of fundraising completed in Q1 2026, these initiatives increase the diversification of Fortress' AUM mix and should support stable to modestly higher management fee revenue this year. The affirmation also considers certain offsetting pressures. Leverage increased to 4.0x in Q1 2026 from 3.0x a year earlier because of lower revenue and EBITDA, primarily resulting from reduced incentive fee income from the company's private credit funds. In addition, the fair value impairment of Fortress' Brightline rail investment recorded in Q4 2025 contributed to an investment loss and impacted balance sheet strength. Fortress' Ba1 ratings reflect the benefits of its long-term locked up capital, solid profitability and good investment performance track record. The rating is constrained by moderate revenue scale, high leverage, AUM concentration in a few flagship investment strategies, and a lower quality fee revenue stream due to the higher proportion of performance fees in its revenue mix. FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS Factors that could lead to an upgrade include the following: 1) Debt/EBITDA moves sustainably below 3.0x; 2) consistent growth in management fees; and 3) successful build out of its insurance solutions and/or other nascent initiatives. Factors that could lead to a downgrade include the following: 1) sustained leverage above 4.0x ; 2) increased earnings volatility; or 3)AUM declines reflecting lower asset valuations and/or return of capital without a commensurate increase in fee-earning AUM through fundraising or capital deployment. The principal methodology used in these ratings was Asset Managers published in May 2024. Fortress is a leading alternative asset manager with $54.3 billion of assets under management as of March 31, 2026.

ISLANDS INT'L: Can't Assume Lease of Non-Residential Real Property ------------------------------------------------------------------ In the appeal styled TITUSVILLE-COCOA AIRPORT AUTHORITY, Appellant, v. ISLANDS INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC., Appellee, Case No.: 6:25-cv-01074-AGM (M.D. Fla.), Judge Anne Leigh Gaylord Moe of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida reversed the order of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for Middle District of Florida granting the motion of Islands International Group, Inc. to assume lease of non-residential real property. Resolving a years-long landlord-tenant dispute between the Airport Authority and its tenant, Islands, the County Court of the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Brevard County held a two-day bench trial on June 11 and 13, 2024. Although Islands now takes the position that the lease was never terminated, Islands concedes that the proposed final judgment Islands submitted to the Brevard County Court included language that "the Lease has been deemed terminated." The Brevard County Court then entered a final judgment on August 2, 2024. While the final judgment contains numerous references to termination of the Lease, the critical portion is the conclusion that "as the Lease has been deemed terminated, Plaintiff is entitled to the relief sought in Count I of the Complaint." After the Brevard County Court entered the final judgment, Islands appealed it to Florida's Fifth District Court of Appeal. Yet the appeal to the Fifth District was stayed when Islands filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Middle District of Florida. Islands then filed with the Bankruptcy Court its Motion to Assume Lease of Non-Residential Real Property in November 2024, and the Bankruptcy Court conducted a trial on that motion in February 2025. At the trial on the motion, the Airport Authority urged the Bankruptcy Court to abstain from ruling on whether the lease was terminated. It urged the Bankruptcy Court to recognize that lease termination was an issue of state law and the ruling Islands asked the Bankruptcy Court to make could overrule a specific finding in the Brevard County Court judgment. Islands argued that the Bankruptcy Court was not being asked to overturn or modify the state court judgment. Instead, Islands argued that it was merely asking the Bankruptcy Court to determine "the effect of the judgment," consistent with the Eleventh Circuit's opinion in In re Dorand, 95 F.4th 1355 (11th Cir. 2024). In its oral ruling, the Bankruptcy Court ultimately sided with Islands. It concluded that deciding whether the Brevard County Court judgment's conclusion that "the Lease has been deemed terminated" meant what it explicitly said was not the same thing as overruling or modifying a judgment of the state court on a matter of state law. On appeal, the District Court finds that when consideration is given to the ordinary meaning of the words in the Brevard County Court judgment, the termination of the lease was both actually adjudicated and inextricably intertwined with the outcome of the judgment, which was that the Airport Authority was entitled to the relief sought in Count I of the Complaint. Because it has no error-correcting role in the review of the Brevard County Court judgment, the District Court expresses no opinion about whether there are inconsistencies between the oral ruling and written judgment.

JMK5 MALL: Court OKs Deal on Cash Collateral Access --------------------------------------------------- The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, approved a stipulation extending JMK5 Mall of the Mainland, LLC's authority to use cash collateral. At the August 3 hearing, the court approved the Debtor's stipulation with Plains State Bank, allowing the Debtor to use cash collateral through September 2. The Debtor's authority to use cash collateral terminates upon appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee; conversion of its bankruptcy case to one under Chapter 7; termination of the automatic stay permitting foreclosure by the bank or another secured creditor; or an uncured default under the order, subject to a three-day cure period after notice. The stipulation addresses a single-asset real estate case involving the commercial property known as "Mall of the Mainland" or "Mainland City Centre," located at 10000 Emmett Lowry Expressway in Texas City, Texas. The Debtor filed its voluntary Chapter 11 petition on June 2 at which time it owed Plains State Bank a matured principal balance of not less than $8,660,203, secured by valid, enforceable deeds of trust on the real estate and associated rental income. When the bankruptcy was initiated, the Debtor lacked cash, income, and insurance; however, with the bank's cooperation, the Debtor bound insurance coverage and retrieved tenant rent checks totaling $226,786 (consisting of $71,669 from Baker Ripley and $155,118 from Odyssey Academy). Because cash collateral is essential to keep the business operational and prevent immediate conversion to Chapter 7, Plains State Bank agreed to permit the Debtor's use of funds under strict terms. These conditions mandate adherence to an agreed budget within a 10% variance, regular two-week budget updates, timely payment of taxes and U.S. Trustee fees, and adequate protection for the bank via replacement liens and contract-rate interest payments. To maintain control over the property and advance the reorganization, the Debtor must adhere to a strict exit timeline negotiated with the bank. Under the agreed order, the case will automatically convert to Chapter 7 if the Debtor fails to secure a Qualified earnest money contract or qualified refinancing by September 2. Furthermore, the automatic stay will immediately lift on November 6 if the Debtor has not closed a sale or refinancing that fully satisfies all secured, administrative, and priority claims.

JS&A FIRE: Gets Final OK to Use Cash Collateral ----------------------------------------------- The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas entered a final order authorizing JS&A Fire and Safety, LLC to use its lender's cash collateral. Under the final order, the Debtor is authorized to use the cash collateral of Cadence Bank/Huntington Bank in accordance with the approved budget and exceed budgeted amounts by up to 10%. Any budget modifications require agreement between the Debtor and the lender or further court approval. The secured lender holds interests in substantially all of the Debtor's accounts and related proceeds. As adequate protection, the court granted the lender replacement liens on the Debtor's equipment, inventory, and accounts, both existing and after-acquired, to the extent of any diminution in the value of its collateral. The replacement liens maintain the same priority and validity as the lender's pre-petition liens, exclude Chapter 5 avoidance actions and related proceeds, and are automatically perfected without additional filings. The replacement liens remain subject to a carveout for approved professional fees, expenses of any statutory committee, fees payable to the U.S. trustee, the Subchapter V trustee, and the bankruptcy court clerk. The order preserves the rights of all parties to challenge the validity, priority, or enforceability of the lender's pre-petition liens and became effective immediately upon entry.

MATTHEWS 350: Gets Interim OK to Use Cash Collateral Until Aug. 28 ------------------------------------------------------------------ The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Indiana granted Matthews 350 E LaSalle LLC and Commerce Center Development, LLC fourth interim approval to use cash collateral. Under the fourth interim order, the Debtors are authorized to use cash collateral in accordance with their operating budget. This authority is set to expire on August 28, unless extended by agreement or further court order. As adequate protection, the court granted KeyBank National Association and other secured creditors replacement liens on the Debtors' post-petition assets, maintaining the same validity, extent, and priority as their pre-petition liens. In addition, the Debtors are required to make payments to KeyBank as outlined in the approved budget, further protecting creditor interests during the interim period. A copy of the court's order is available at https://shorturl.at/FlgiA from PacerMonitor.com. The final hearing is scheduled for August 26. Before the petition date, KeyBank issued a $33 million loan to Matthews, secured by a mortgage and a security agreement granting lien on all personal property, including potential cash collateral. Despite multiple refinancing attempts, Matthews and Commerce Center Development were unable to do so, largely due to a pending lawsuit by the South Bend Redevelopment Commission. They filed for bankruptcy to reorganize and sell Commerce Center Development's 144-unit multifamily property to repay KeyBank and investors. Matthews has a leasehold interest in the real estate under a 2019 ground lease with Commerce Center Development. KeyBank is represented by: Miranda Weiss Bernadac, Esq.

MCGRAW-HILL EDUCATION: Moody's Ups CFR to B1, Outlook Stable ------------------------------------------------------------ Moody's Ratings upgraded McGraw-Hill Education, Inc.'s (McGraw Hill) ratings, including the company's corporate family rating to B1 from B2, the probability of default rating to B1-PD from B2-PD, the senior secured notes and senior secured first lien bank credit facility ratings to Ba3 from B1, and the senior unsecured notes rating to B3 from Caa1. The speculative grade liquidity rating remains SGL-1, and the outlook was changed to stable from positive. The one-notch upgrades reflect Moody's expectations that overall revenues and cash flow for McGraw Hill will grow in the low to mid-single digit percentage range over the next two years based on the expected increase in the K-12 adoption schedule, including core curricula in the three largest adoption states. Additionally, the company has repaid $646 million of debt since its July 2025 IPO, and Moody's expects continued debt repayment consistent with the company's 2x – 2.5x reported net leverage target. Governance considerations are a key factor in these rating actions and incorporate McGraw Hill's prioritization of debt repayment and stated intentions to further improve credit metrics. The company remains majority-owned by private equity sponsor, Platinum Equity, with 87% of the voting control. Moody's expects the financial sponsor will reduce its position over the next few years. RATINGS RATIONALE The B1 CFR of McGraw Hill reflects its moderately high financial leverage, although improving, seasonality of cash flow, and intense industry competition. Within its large K-12 business, the purchasing cycles of adoption states drive annual revenue volatility. Within its higher education segment, earnings growth is tempered by affordability-driven price compression, competition from open educational resources, and cyclicality related to higher education enrollment trends. Competition among leading companies remains intense. These credit challenges are counterbalanced by McGraw Hill's well-recognized global brand with over 100 million active curriculum licenses and 26 billion learning interactions (fiscal 2026), good market position, long-standing relationships with education institutions, and proprietary content developed through long-term relationships with leading authors. In addition, the K-12 market is predictable with multi-year procurement cycles and cash received upfront for contracts with several year tenors. McGraw Hill has good penetration with its inclusive access delivery model (an affordability program), which accounts for more than 50% of Higher Education segment revenue. The company is well diversified across the learning continuum, including K-12, higher education, professional, as well as international markets, and multiple business segments. McGraw Hill's progress in expanding digital offerings supports its ability to defend and grow market share, compete during the K-12 adoption cycles, and reduce cash flow volatility. For fiscal March 2026, revenues and adjusted EBITDA grew modestly, as gains in Higher Education, Global Professional and International segments offset declines in the K-12 segment reflecting a weak state adoption calendar. Nevertheless, McGraw Hill's leverage improved to 4.3x as of March 2026 from 5.1x pre-IPO (both metrics Moody's adjusted) due primarily to debt repayment. Over the next year, further improvements in credit metrics will be driven by adjusted EBITDA growth, the absence of one-time working capital outflows, mandatory debt amortization, plus potential discretionary debt repayments. Moody's expects McGraw Hill's K-12 segment revenue and profits will benefit from the anticipated increase in the K-12 adoption schedules over each of the next two years, notwithstanding an unexpected deferral in decision-making for certain state districts. Moody's believes the company will maintain its overall K-12 market share, resulting in continued revenue growth over each of the next two years based on the increase in adoption schedules over calendar 2025 levels, which will include the purchase of Math or Reading materials in three of the biggest adoption states (California, Florida, and Texas). English Language Arts (ELA) accounts for roughly 40% of K-12 revenues for McGraw Hill, and the company has invested more than $100 million (largest curriculum investment to date) in its new Science of Reading ELA program. McGraw Hill has already secured ELA wins in key open territory districts in fiscal 2027, and ELA programs will be decision drivers in fiscal 2028 in California and other states. Despite the recent share repurchase authorization for up to $50 million, Moody's expects the company will continue to prioritize free cash flow allocation towards organic investments and debt repayment over the next year. McGraw Hill has publicly stated its intention to operate with reported net leverage of 2x-2.5x, compared to the company's reported net leverage of 3.2x as of FYE March 2026 (equivalent to 4.3x debt to EBITDA with Moody's adjustments as of March 2026). The Ba3 ratings on the first lien senior secured debt instruments, including the revolver, term loan, and secured notes, is one notch above the CFR reflecting the secured positions of these debt instruments in the capital structure. The B3 rating on the senior unsecured notes due August 2029 reflect their subordination to the first lien senior secured debt instruments and the $300 million ABL facility (unrated). The ABL revolver has a first priority lien on current asset collateral and a second priority lien on fixed asset collateral. Given its pledge on the most liquid assets, Moody's rank the ABL revolver ahead of rated secured and unsecured debt instruments in Moody's priority of claim waterfall. As debt maturities are repaid or refinanced, changes in the debt mix could result in downward pressure on the secured instruments. As the percentage of senior unsecured notes in the overall debt mix decreases, there would be less cushion for secured debt instruments which could result in a one notch downgrade of the secured notes and credit facilities. Moody's expects that McGraw Hill will have very good liquidity over the next 12-18 months, supported by cash balance ($254 million as of March 2026), Moody's expectations of more than $200 million of free cash flow in fiscal 2027, and access to an undrawn $300 million ABL revolver due August 2029. The borrowing base comfortably exceeds the ABL revolver commitment throughout the year. There is also full availability under the $111 million cash flow revolver due August 2029. Of the original $150 million cash flow revolver commitment, the $39 million revolver portion expires at the end of July 2026. Cash on hand, internally generated cash flow, plus borrowings under the ABL facility will be sufficient to fund the company's highly seasonal cash flows, 1% annual term loan amortization of roughly $13 million, $70 million - $90 million in annual capex, plus $90 million - $120 million in annual product development spending. There are no material debt maturities until the senior secured notes due August 2028 mature ($828 million outstanding as of March 2026). There is ample cushion under the springing covenants for both the ABL and cash flow revolvers. The term loan is covenant-lite. The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectations for low to mid-single digit percentage revenue growth over the next couple of years supported by favorable adoption schedules through calendar 2027, including the three largest adoption states. Growth in revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow reflecting the absence of prior one-time working capital outflows, will lead to further improvement in leverage and coverage ratios, consistent with the company's guidance and 2x – 2.5x reported net leverage target. The outlook also incorporates Moody's expectations for very good liquidity and disciplined financial policies. FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS Ratings could be upgraded if Moody's expects McGraw Hill will maintain market share across key segments. The company would also need to demonstrate disciplined financial policies, including prioritization of debt repayment, resulting in debt to EBITDA being sustained below 3.5x (Moody's adjusted). A more diversified shareholder base and maintaining at least good liquidity, with growing cash balances and free cash flow to debt sustained in the high-single-digit percentage range (Moody's adjusted), would also be needed for an upgrade. McGraw Hill's ratings could be downgraded if market share declines or weakened operating performance leads to debt to EBITDA being sustained above 4.25x (Moody's adjusted). Aggressive financial policies, such as sizable distributions, or weakened liquidity, including lower cash balances, reduced revolver availability, or free cash flow to debt declining to the low-single digit percent range (Moody's adjusted), could also result in a downgrade. With headquarters in Columbus, OH, McGraw-Hill Education, Inc. is a provider of educational solutions and learning services across K-12, higher education, and professional learning in the US and internationally. Following an IPO in July 2025, McGraw Hill remains majority-owned by private equity sponsor, Platinum Equity, with 87% of voting control. Moody's expects revenues for McGraw Hill will exceed $2.1 billion over the next year. The principal methodology used in these ratings was Media published in September 2025. MEADE PIPELINE: Moody's Affirms 'Ba2' CFR, Outlook Stable --------------------------------------------------------- Moody's Ratings affirmed Meade Pipeline Co LLC's (Meade) ratings, including its Ba2 Corporate Family Rating, Ba2-PD Probability of Default Rating and the Ba2 rating of its senior secured 1st lien term loan B. The rating outlook is stable. Meade was acquired by funds managed by Ares Management LLC (Ares) in 2025. Meade owns pipeline assets structured as an Undivided Joint Interest (UJI), with a 58.82% interest in the Central Penn Line (CPL) North segment, 29.41% interest in the CPL South segment and 40% interest in Leidy South Expansion (Leidy). Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Company, LLC (Transco, Baa1 positive) owns the remaining portion of these assets and the UJI allows each owner to retain distinct ownership of a proportional share of the assets. Meade leases its proportionate capacity in the CPL and Leidy assets to Transco in return for long-term fixed lease payments (Transco Lease). RATINGS RATIONALE Meade's Ba2 CFR is supported by its highly predictable and stable cash flow provided under a lease agreement with Transco, where Meade leases its proportionate capacity in the CPL and Leidy assets to Transco in return for long-term fixed lease payments. Transco is a strong operator with an excellent track record, and is required to perform all operations and maintenance (O&M) services at no cost to Meade. Transco has contracted the combined capacity through take-or-pay contracts with nine different shippers, with Coterra Energy Inc. (Coterra) comprising about half of the contracted capacity. Coterra is a wholly owned subsidiary of Devon Energy Corporation (Baa2 positive) upon completing its merger with Devon in May 2026. The CPL and Leidy assets transport natural gas from Northeast Pennsylvania's Marcellus Shale to major demand centers by connecting to Transco's interstate pipeline network for a diversified customer base. The CPL shipper contracts expire in 2033 with an additional 5-year extension option and have a solid Baa weighted average customer credit rating. The credit profile is restrained by Meade's relatively small scale in terms of earnings and cash flow and high financial leverage. Moody's expects leverage to remain around 5.8x for the foreseeable future, and all available cash flow after debt service to be distributed to Ares. The ratings also incorporate the borrower's non-operated ownership position and a lack of near term prospects for earnings growth, with additional risks arising from a relatively complex structure and ownership concentration. The secured term loan is rated Ba2, which is aligned with the Ba2 CFR, reflecting a single class of debt with no other priority-claim debt present ahead of the term loan in Meade's capital structure. The term loan is secured by first-priority perfected security interest in all assets of Meade, including its ownership interest structured as a UJI in the pipeline assets, and 100% of the equity in Meade, with customary exceptions. Meade should have adequate liquidity through 2027. The company had $17.3 million of balance sheet cash at March 31. Meade lease payments from Transco should comfortably cover interest payments. Any remaining cash after modest expenses will likely be used to fund distributions to Ares. Meade does not have any revolving credit facility. The Term Loan B requires the maintenance of a 1.1x minimum debt service coverage ratio covenant, which Moody's expects the company to meet comfortably. The company does not have any debt maturities until the term loan matures. The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's expectations that leverage metrics will remain steady with stable cash flow pursuant to the Transco Lease. FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS Meade's ratings could be upgraded if the average life of take-or-pay contracts underpinning the Transco lease and the company's counterparty credit profile are supportive of an upgrade, and debt to EBITDA is sustained below 5.5x. Ratings could be downgraded if debt/EBITDA exceeds 6.5x on a sustained basis, the company's counterparty credit profile deteriorates meaningfully, remaining underlying contract term approaches expiration with significant re-contracting risk and uncertainty, or if liquidity or interest coverage considerably deteriorates. Meade Pipeline Co LLC owns pipeline assets structured as an Undivided Joint Interest, with a 58.82% interest in the CPL North segment, 29.41% interest in the CPL South segment and 40% interest in Leidy, transporting natural gas from Northeast Pennsylvania's Marcellus Shale to major demand centers via Transco's pipeline network. Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Company, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Williams Companies, Inc. (Baa2 positive), owns the remaining portion of these assets and the UJI allows each owner to retain distinct ownership of a proportional share of the assets. The principal methodology used in these ratings was Natural Gas Pipelines published in April 2024. Meade's Ba2 CFR is two notches below the scorecard-indicated outcome of Baa3 reflecting its limited scale, non-operated ownership and placing a higher emphasis on its relatively high leverage metrics.

NEW AMI: Moody's Affirms 'B3' CFR, Outlook Remains Stable --------------------------------------------------------- Moody's Ratings affirmed New AMI I, LLC's (dba Associated Materials) corporate family rating at B3, probability of default rating at B3-PD and B3 senior secured first lien term loan B rating. The outlook remains stable. The affirmation of the B3 CFR reflects Associated Materials' stability in earnings, margins and leverage profile despite continued softness in the residential new construction and repair & remodeling end markets. The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectations that Associated Materials will continue to benefit from investments in recent operational initiatives that will help maintain an adequate liquidity profile and interest coverage above 1.0x over the next 12-18 months. RATINGS RATIONALE Associated Materials' B3 CFR reflects its weak EBITA/interest coverage of 1.1x for the last 12 months ended April 04, 2026, along with its moderately leveraged capital structure and modest EBITA margins. Exposure to cyclical end markets and persistent levels of subdued demand in its key end markets also pressure the rating. Providing an offset to Associated Materials' credit weaknesses is a good market position in the manufacturing of vinyl windows and siding products, as well as a diverse product and customer mix. The company also derives about 70% of revenues from residential repair & remodeling, which is more resilient than new construction -through market cycles. The rating is further supported by long-term fundamental demand for housing, driven by low inventory and strong demographic trends. Moody's expects the company to maintain adequate liquidity over the next 12 to 15 months. Free cash flow remains marginal, though Moody's expects breakeven positive free cash flow in 2026 as capex steps down given that the company's investment in its value creation plan comes to end. Liquidity is supported by availability on the $250 million asset-based revolving credit facility expiring March 2028, which had $73 million drawn as of Q1 2026. The revolver is subject to a 1.0x springing fixed charge covenant that is tested when availability falls below the greater of 10% or $11.25 million, which is not expected to trigger over the next 12 to 15 months. The B3 rating on the senior secured first lien term loan results from a one-notch positive override to the LGD model reflecting Moody's opinion that the size and reliance on the ABL is not material enough to notch down the term loan rating relative to the CFR. FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS The ratings could be upgraded if adjusted debt-to-EBITDA maintains below 6.0x, EBITA-to-interest coverage remains above 2.0x, and the company achieves and preserves good liquidity. More predictable financial policies regarding capital deployment are also an important consideration for an upgrade. The ratings could be downgraded if adjusted debt-to-EBITDA sustains above 7.0x, interest coverage is below 1.0x, liquidity deteriorates, or with further aggressive shareholder return initiatives or acquisitions. New AMI I, LLC, headquartered in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, is a North American manufacturer and distributor of exterior building products. The company's core products are vinyl windows, vinyl siding and metal related trim and accessories. Associated Materials is also a distributor of third-party manufactured products with a focus on exterior building products and accessories. Associated Materials is privately owned by SVPGlobal ("SVP"). The principal methodology used in these ratings was Manufacturing published in September 2025. NEW ENGLAND: Seeks Cash Collateral Access ----------------------------------------- New England Investment Holding Corporation, Inc. asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts, Eastern Division, for authority to use cash collateral. The Debtor's primary revenue-generating asset is the "Zoar Road property," a 142-acre parcel in Charlemont, Massachusetts, featuring 10–12 acres of gravel pit currently leased to third party Thomas Danek. The Debtor's other real property asset is the "DeKalb property," comprising 159.9 mostly vacant acres across four parcels in DeKalb Junction, New York—including a 70-acre portion actively marketed for $90,000, which holds no mortgage encumbrance. All funds in the Debtor's operating account, totaling $7,052 as of the filing date, stem directly from the gravel pit lease and aggregate sales. The primary purpose of using cash collateral is to satisfy post-petition operational obligations, preserve the estate's assets, and provide adequate protection to secured lenders. Greenfield Cooperative Bank is the Debtor's principal secured creditor, holding a first mortgage and assignment of rents on the Zoar Road property. A secondary creditor, Greenfield Savings Bank, holds a security interest in the Debtor's personal property securing a $50,000 loan, as well as a junior second mortgage on the Deerfield, Massachusetts home owned by the Debtor's principal, Earl Bowen. Under the proposed August–September 2026 budget, the Debtor projects $3,000 in August revenue against $5,048 in expenses, which includes $2,500 in adequate protection payments to Greenfield Cooperative Bank, $1,000 for real estate taxes to the Town of Charlemont, $500 for SubChapter V Trustee professional fees, and $1,048 in total annual property insurance premiums ($685 for Zoar Road and $363 for DeKalb). The September projection estimates $2,000 in revenue matching $2,000 in operational expenses, including $750 for Greenfield Cooperative Bank, $500 in real estate taxes, and $750 in SubChapter V Trustee fees. To adequately protect Greenfield Cooperative Bank and any other valid lienholders, the Debtor proposes maintaining continuous insurance coverage, staying current on real estate taxes, making monthly cash payments, allowing pre-existing perfected security interests to attach to replacement collateral and proceeds, and retaining all surplus cash in its designated debtor-in-possession account. The Debtor emphasizes that using revenue from the Zoar Road property to cover the minor $363 insurance expense on the unencumbered DeKalb property directly benefits the bankruptcy estate by safeguarding an asset currently being marketed for liquidation. A court hearing is set for August 6. A copy of the motion is available at https://urlcurt.com/u?l=Kmb9VC from PacerMonitor.com. About New England Investment Holding Corp. New England Investment Holding Corp. filed a petition under Chapter 11, Subchapter V of the Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. D. Mass.

The FCRHA's Equity Share is 60%. The Debtor retains RealMarkets, Century 21 Commercial New Millenium, and Century 21 New Millenium as brokers. The Brokers listed the Brockham Property on the open market on or about July 24, 2026 at a list price of $420,000. With the assistance of the Brokers, and after arms-length negotiation, the Debtor received a written offer from Tania Zabeen and Kazi Suja Udin Hayer to purchase the Brockham Property for a purchase price of $420,000.00. The Debtor proposes to sell the Brockham Property free and clear of all liens, claims, rights, and interests on or in the Brockham Property.

NOORDA COLLEGE: Moody's Affirms Ba2 Rating on Secured Revenue Bond ------------------------------------------------------------------ Moody's Ratings has affirmed Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine, LLC's (Noorda COM) Ba2 senior secured rating. Moody's have also affirmed the Ba2 senior secured revenue bond rating issued under Public Finance Authority, WI. The rating outlook remains negative. RATINGS RATIONALE The rating affirmation takes into consideration recent developments that are both supportive and challenging for Noorda COM's overall credit profile. In the spring of 2025, Noorda COM graduated its first class of students and also received full accreditation from the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA) that summer. A second class of students graduated in the spring of 2026, and residency placement rates for both of Noorda COM's first two classes have been competitive with other medical schools. These developments should be supportive of marketing efforts to potential students as well as provide a pathway for future federal funding, including student loans. However, because COCA will cease to act as an institutional accreditor (for any school), Noorda COM has also begun the process of obtaining accreditation from the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU), which it expects to achieve by the end of the decade. In addition to meeting key performance milestones, financial leverage has declined as anticipated. The graduation of Noorda COM's inaugural class allowed for the release of the Operating Reserve, which was used to redeem a portion of Noorda COM's Series 2021A bonds in 2025. In 2026, the Teach-Out reserve was released to fully redeem the remaining 2021A bonds, resulting in lower total indebtedness by about 35% since financial close. However, Noorda COM's competitive position will be challenged by the anticipated establishment of a medical school in Provo by Brigham Young University (BYU, unrated) as early as the fall of 2027. While the overall need for doctors in Utah is expected to remain high and BYU's medical school enrollment in its early years is expected to remain low as it ramps up operations, competition for students, residencies and teaching staff may affect Noorda COM's ability to generate the expected margins over time. Noorda COM's credit profile is constrained by its limited scale and revenue concentration that is almost entirely tuition dependent. Although preliminary 2026 financial results suggest Noorda COM has meaningfully outperformed its budget, Moody's continues to expect financial margins and debt service coverage to look more compressed in the near-term than Moody's had previously anticipated given the aforementioned entrance of BYU, as well as from increased operating expenses to maintain competitive COMLEX pass rates, boost student placement and enhance recruitment. Strong ring fencing provisions and project financing protections provide lenders with key protections under downside scenarios and prevent material credit negative decisions by the private owners. RATING OUTLOOK The negative outlook reflects the anticipated weakened competitive position of Noorda COM from the establishment of a BYU medical school, as well as the likelihood of thinner margins and lower DSCRs than previously anticipated as the ramp-up period for the asset continues. FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS Factors that Could Lead to an Upgrade -- Material increase in scale and improved balance sheet liquidity at Noorda COM level -- Establishment of a strong and sustained market position with a consistent demand base and pricing power leading to DSCRs over 4.0x -- Ability to execute on ongoing ramp-up related issues Factors that Could Lead to a Downgrade -- Weaker than anticipated enrollment trends or higher attrition rates -- Tighter margins from weaker tuition revenue and/or higher operating costs that result in DSCRs materially lower than in the original closing case -- Liquidity declines below required levels -- Inability to establish a stable, niche market position over time PROFILE Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine, LLC ("Noorda COM" or "Project Co") is a for-profit limited liability company owned by NMS, LLC and formed in March 2017. Noorda COM is located in the City of Provo, Utah with a mission to provide a critically needed solution to acute physician shortages in Utah and the contiguous Rocky Mountain States' region, including Idaho, Nevada, California, Colorado, Arizona and Wyoming. Noorda COM received "Accreditation with Monitoring" status from the American Osteopathic Association's (AOA) Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation ("COCA") in April 2025, which was revised to "Accreditation" in August. The first class started in the fall of 2021 and graduated in the spring of 2025. Once fully enrolled, the school will be able to accommodate four classes with 194 students each. The principal methodology used in this rating was Generic Project Finance published in October 2024.

OLENOX INDUSTRIES: Reports Q1 2026 Results, Warns of Cash Crunch ---------------------------------------------------------------- Olenox Industries Inc. filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, reporting a net loss of $2,665,724 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to a net loss of $2,746,668 for the same period in the prior year. Revenue and Operating Results During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company derived revenue from our construction services, oil and gas operations and industrial IoT (SaaS) operations. Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $285,313 compared to $566,354 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Total revenue decreased by $281,041, or 50%, primarily due to less revenue being generated from construction services while revenue generated from our oil and gas and SaaS operations increased following our expansion into those business lines. Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit Cost of revenue was $486,146 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $890,109 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease of $403,963, or approximately 45%, primarily reflects lower construction costs and the absence of losses recognized on certain construction projects during the prior-year period. Gross loss was $(200,833) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to a gross loss of $(323,755) for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Gross loss margin percentage increased to (70)% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to (57)% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to the addition of oil and gas production revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Operating Expenses Payroll and related expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $692,380 compared to $555,738 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase primarily reflects additional personnel associated with businesses acquired during the fourth quarter of 2025 together with increased stock-based compensation expense. Other operating expenses (general and administrative expenses and marketing and business development expenses) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $1,989,901 compared to $952,489 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase primarily reflects higher professional fees and increased general and administrative expenses associated with the Company's expanded operations, including integration activities related to acquisitions. Other Income (Expense) Other income totaled $217,390 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to other expense of $914,686 during the March 31, 2025. The improvement primarily resulted from gains recognized on the extinguishment of debt of $1,197,449 through settlements involving the issuance of common stock, partially offset by losses recognized on other debt settlements of $613,723. Interest expense decreased to $365,757 from $603,126 due primarily to lower average outstanding debt balances and reduced amortization of debt issuance costs. The Company noted that its operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 may not be indicative of future operations. Liquidity and Capital Resources Historically, the Company has funded its operations through a combination of operating revenues, equity financings and debt financings. As of March 31, 2026, and Dec. 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $30,883 and $427,866, respectively. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses and negative operating cash flows, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to meet the Company's capital needs through revenue generated from operations, cost containment initiatives, strategic alliances and, as necessary, additional debt or equity financings. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in meeting its capital requirements prior to becoming cash flow positive. The Company does not currently have committed sources of additional financing, and if it is unable to obtain the capital required when needed, it may be required to materially modify its business plan, including delaying or curtailing planned activities. As of March 31, 2026, stockholders' equity was $8,187,156 compared to $7,589,746 as of Dec. 31, 2025. The Company also reported an accumulated deficit of $120,017,997 as of March 31, 2026, compared to $117,352,273 as of Dec. 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net loss attributable to common stockholders was $3,061,691, and net cash used in operating activities was $1,909,521. Cash Flow Summary Operating activities used net cash of $1,909,521 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1,308,920 during the same period in 2025. Cash used in operating activities increased primarily due to changes in working capital and the timing of operating receipts and disbursements. Investing activities used net cash of $31,643 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $182,663 during the same period in 2025. The 2026 amount resulted from purchases of property, plant, and equipment. Financing activities provided net cash of $1,544,181 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1,346,219 during the same period in 2025. The 2026 amount consisted primarily of $1,547,800 in proceeds from the sale of common and preferred stock, partially offset by $3,619 in repayments of short-term notes payable. The Company also cautioned that there can be no assurance that customers will proceed with planned construction projects or that the Company will ultimately recognize revenue from those projects in a timely manner, or at all.

PAGAYA TECHNOLOGIES: Moody's Affirms 'B3' CFR, Outlook Stable ------------------------------------------------------------- Moody's Ratings has affirmed the B3 corporate family rating of Pagaya Technologies Ltd. (Pagaya) and the B3 backed senior unsecured notes rating of Pagaya US Holding Company LLC. The outlook for both issuers is stable. RATINGS RATIONALE The affirmation of Pagaya's ratings reflects the company's improving profitability, solid partnership business model, and funding diversity, offset by its high leverage given the subordinated asset risks it retains in its securitizations and its brief operating history, which limits the predictability of its performance through a full credit cycle. Positively, Pagaya has reported five consecutive quarters of GAAP profitability along with good operating cash flows, with strong partnership growth trends on both the lending and funding sides supporting the company's business model. Pagaya's funding diversity is a relative credit strength. The company takes minimal funding risk with each loan it originates due to pre-funding and revolving asset-backed securities (ABS) arrangements with a diverse set of partners, and it has steady forward flow partnerships. Pagaya does not have any unsecured debt maturing within the next 12 months and has sufficient liquidity sources. The company's credit performance has been consistent and management continues to proactively manage underwriting risk parameters across its loan products, which it demonstrated when it modestly tightened lending standards at the beginning of the year to reduce tail risks rather than chase short-term growth. However, in Moody's views, the company's loan products comprise a significant portion of subprime borrowers who present high asset risks. Pagaya's capital resiliency remains modest after accounting for the subordinated asset risks it retains in its securitizations, which comprise approximately 75% of its new originations. Due to Pagaya's risk retention requirement on its securitizations, often in the form of first-loss positions, Moody's assess capital and credit risk relative to peers by including the off-balance sheet securitized loans back onto its balance sheet, which reduces Pagaya's tangible common equity to tangible managed assets (TCE/TMA) ratio to single-digit percentage levels. Pagaya's assets lack diversification as the majority are lower tranche securitization certificates and notes from its own ABS transactions that could face liquidity headwinds in a stressed environment, and the majority are classified as level 3 assets. The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectations that Pagaya will maintain solid performance as the company grows. Moody's expects the company will maintain its capitalization and asset quality performance over the next 12-18 months, and its funding will remain sound while it attempts to increase its profitability. FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS Moody's could upgrade Pagaya's ratings if the company: 1) strengthens its resilience to unexpected losses through higher capitalization after accounting for securitizations; 2) increases non-ABS, non-recourse funding; 3) improves the diversification and quality of its liquid assets; 4) demonstrates continued solid profitability; and 5) improves or maintains loan performance. Moody's could downgrade Pagaya's ratings if the company: 1) reduces its capitalization after accounting for securitizations; 2) experiences deterioration in profitability or asset quality; 3) increases its risk appetite; or 4) weakens its liquidity position or funding diversity. The principal methodology used in these ratings was Finance Companies published in July 2024. Pagaya's "Assigned Standalone Assessment" score of b3 is set seven notches below the "Financial Profile" initial score of baa2 to reflect the company's modest capital resilience given subordinated asset risks it retains in securitizations, its limited operating history, and the anticipated asset quality of its loan borrowers through a full credit cycle. PHRG INTERMEDIATE: $460MM Loan Add-on No Impact on Moody's 'B2' CFR ------------------------------------------------------------------- Moody's Ratings said that PHRG Intermediate, LLC's ("Power Home Remodeling" or "Power") B2 corporate family rating and B2-PD probability of default rating are not affected by the proposed $460 million add-on to the company's $1.275 billion senior secured term loan B due 2032 (issued by HP PHRG Borrower, LLC), which is rated B2. The B2 rating on the company's proposed upsized senior secured revolving credit facility due 2030 is also unaffected. The outlook remains unchanged at stable. The company's proposed $460 million add-on, which will increase the size of the existing senior secured term loan to $1.73 billion, will be used to fund a distribution to shareholders. The add-on increases LTM Q1 2026 pro forma leverage to 4.5x debt/EBITDA. Moody's expects interest coverage to remain above 3x EBITA to interest expense in 2026. The proposed $200 million revolver will remain undrawn. Power Home's B2 ratings reflect the company's sound position in the US repair and remodel segment, which is supported by solid underlying demand for housing improvements in the US. Operating performance in 2025 was very strong, with 22% revenue growth while maintaining EBITA margins of approximately 20%. The rating also benefits from the company's asset-lite business model, which requires minimal capital expenditures or overhead. Moody's expects continued geographic expansion and earnings growth will support deleveraging in 2026. Factors constraining the rating include the ongoing risk of capital outlays to the sponsor in the form of dividends and recent increases in debt since rating assignment in 2025. Moody's expects the company will likely continue to manage its leverage around 4.5x-5x debt/EBITDA going forward. Additional constraints are the company's high supplier concentration, with about 70% of product purchases coming from two suppliers, and some regional concentration in the Northeast and Midwest, though the company continues to expand its geographic footprint. Moody's expects Power Home's liquidity to be good over the next 12 to 18 months. Liquidity is supported by full revolver availability, $22 million of unrestricted cash on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2026 and lack of any near term debt maturities. The upsized revolver increases external availability to $200 million from $125 million. The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectations that Power can sustain current margins in a modest growth environment within the residential repair and remodel market to support declining leverage, as well as Power's maintenance of good liquidity. Power Home Remodeling, headquartered in Philadelphia, PA, is an exterior remodeling company serving 27 markets across the US. Harvest Partners LP is the company's majority financial sponsor. Revenue for the last 12 months that ended March 31, 2026 was about $1.8 billion.

PRESTIGE HEALTHCARE: Gets Extension to Access Cash Collateral ------------------------------------------------------------- The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland, Greenbelt Division issued a seventh interim order granting Prestige Healthcare Resources Inc. an extension to use cash collateral. The court authorized the Debtor to use cash collateral through September 30 in accordance with an approved budget. The Debtor is also allowed flexibility to reallocate unused budget amounts and exceed budget line items by up to 10%, provided it reports significant deviations. The Debtor's accounts receivable constitutes M&T Bank's collateral for its loans. As of the petition date, the Debtor's collectable accounts receivable totaled between $1.2 million and $1.5 million. Based on the value of the accounts receivable, M&T Bank appears to hold a secured claim of up to $1.5 million and an unsecured claim of about $1.2 million, according to January court filings. As adequate protection from any diminution in the value of their collateral, M&T Bank and any junior lien creditors will be granted replacement liens on post-petition assets with the same priority as their pre-petition liens. These replacement liens do not extend to avoidance actions. In addition, the Debtor must pay $25,000 to M&T Bank, with any excess over applicable interest applied to principal. Additional safeguards include maintaining business records and providing financial reporting. The court scheduled a final hearing for September 24.

RED RIVER: Loses Delaware Fight Over Asbestos Data Preservation --------------------------------------------------------------- Jarek Rutz of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that the Delaware Supreme Court has overturned a Chancery Court decision that permitted Johnson & Johnson, Dow Chemical and other asbestos defendants to seek judicial intervention to preserve records held by asbestos bankruptcy trusts. The ruling ends an unusual legal challenge aimed at preventing the disposal of trust-related claims data. The companies argued that the records could provide valuable evidence in asbestos lawsuits by helping verify claim submissions and identify potential inconsistencies across trust claims and civil litigation. They maintained that preserving the information would benefit courts and litigants by ensuring potentially relevant evidence remained available, the report relays. In reversing the lower court, the Supreme Court found that the defendants were not entitled to pursue the preservation action under the circumstances presented. The decision leaves the companies without the Chancery Court remedy they sought and clarifies the limits of using Delaware equity courts to preserve potential evidence, the report states. About J&J Talc Units LLT Management, LLC (formerly known as LTL Management LLC) was a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson that was formed to manage and defend thousands of talc-related claims and oversee the operations of Royalty A&M.

Case No. 21-30589) on Nov. 16, 2021. The Hon. Michael B. Kaplan is the case judge.

Although the Third Circuit panel recognized that the Debtor "inherited massive liabilities" and faced "thousands" of future claims, it concluded that the Debtor was not in financial distress before the filing. On March 22, 2023, the Third Circuit entered an order denying the Debtor's petition for rehearing. The Third Circuit entered an order denying LTL's stay motion on March 31, 2023, and, on the dame day,issued its mandate directing the Bankruptcy Court to dismiss the 2021 Chapter 11 Case.

Case No. 23-12825) to obtain approval of a reorganization plan that will equitably and efficiently resolve all claims arising from cosmetic talc litigation against the Company and its affiliates in North America. In the new filing, J&J said it has agreed to contribute up to a present value of $8.9 billion, payable over 25 years, to resolve all the current and future talc claims, which is an increase of $6.9 billion over the $2 billion previously committed in connection with LTL's initial bankruptcy filing in October 2021. LTL also has secured commitments from over 60,000 current claimants to support a global resolution on these terms.

SCIH SALT: Moody's Affirms 'B3' CFR & Rates New Term Loan 'B3' -------------------------------------------------------------- Moody's Ratings affirmed SCIH Salt Holdings Inc.'s (SCIH Salt) B3 Corporate Family Rating, B3-PD Probability of Default Rating, B3 ratings of its senior secured first lien revolving credit facility, senior secured first lien term loan and senior secured notes, as well as the Caa2 rating of its senior unsecured notes. At the same time, Moody's assigned B3 ratings to the company's proposed new $3.0 billion senior secured first lien term loan B ("TLB"), $1.1 billion senior secured notes, and $550 million revolving credit facility. Moody's also assigned a Caa2 rating to the company's new $700 million senior unsecured notes. The ratings on the existing debt will be withdrawn upon completion of the transaction. The ratings outlook remains stable. SCIH Salt is proposing a recapitalization transaction to refinance its existing debt and fund a distribution to ownership. Proceeds from the issuance, together with $245 million of cash on hand, will be used to repay $1.97 billion of outstanding term loan B debt, $1.1 billion of senior secured notes, and $700 million of senior unsecured notes; pay $75 million of fees and expenses; and fund a $1.2 billion distribution to ownership. Moody's views the transaction as leveraging due to the higher pro forma debt burden. RATINGS RATIONALE The B3 CFR affirmation reflects Moody's views that while the transaction will result in higher debt balances and higher financial leverage, given the positive evolution of the company's business profile since the 2021 Morton acquisition, strong performance to date in fiscal 2026, and positive momentum into fiscal 2027, Moody's expects the credit profile to remain supportive of the existing ratings. For the LTM period ended March 31, 2026, pro forma leverage, measured as Moody's-adjusted Debt/EBITDA, rises from 5.8x to 7.2x. Somewhat offsetting the higher leverage is the positive evolution of SCIH Salt's business profile following its acquisitions of Morton in 2021 and Kissner in 2020. The Morton acquisition substantially increased the company's overall scale and expanded its operational, product, end-market and geographic diversity. It also improved the company's product mix, broadened its customer base, and reduced its reliance on weather-dependent revenue to about 40% of total revenue, down from more than 75% before the acquisition. Evaporated and solar salt products sold into more stable industrial and consumer end-markets now account for about 60% of the company's revenue, helping to dampen earnings and credit metric volatility related to the highway deicing business. Additional support for the B3 CFR comes from Moody's expectation for higher EBITDA generation in fiscal 2026 and 2027, along with positive free cash flow that could be used for debt reduction. Moody's forecasts annual Moody's-adjusted EBITDA of $700 million in fiscal 2026, rising to $730 million in fiscal 2027. This compares with LTM EBITDA of $665 million for the period ended March 31, 2026. Moody's expects annual free cash flow to be around $200 million over the next 12 to 18 months. Moody's recognizes management's successful integration of Morton and the company's strong margin expansion over the past few years. Higher EBITDA has driven improved leverage metrics in recent years, although debt funded dividends in 2024 and 2025 partially dampened the pace of improvement. Nevertheless, SCIH Salt's credit profile had migrated from being somewhat weakly positioned at the B3 CFR following the closing of the Morton transaction in 2022, to being very well positioned at the B3 CFR before the currently proposed 2026 debt funded divided. Moody's views the incremental leverage as negative for the credit, but still within the tolerance range for a B3 CFR. The stable rating outlook balances the company's history of debt funded dividends with Moody's expectation that the company will continue to grow earnings in fiscal 2027, successfully integrate its newly acquired Canadian calcium chloride business, generate positive free cash flow, and use a portion of that cash flow to reduce debt, such that Moody's-adjusted leverage approaches 6.75x over the next 12 to 18 months. Moody's continues to view leverage and financial policy as the primary limiting factors to a rating upgrade. LIQUIDITY Liquidity is expected to remain good, supported by pro forma cash on hand of $310 million, as well as an unfunded committed revolving credit facility of $550 million. Moody's expects continued positive free cash flow generation over the forecast horizon. The company's liquidity position should comfortably support its first lien term loan annual amortization payments. Moody's expects meaningful quarterly cash flow variation due to the seasonality of the highway deicing salt business and expects the company to periodically rely on the revolver to fund working capital build leading up and into the winter season. The first lien senior secured credit facilities, comprising a $550 million revolving credit facility and a $3.0 billion term loan, and the $1.1 billion senior secured notes are rated B3, in line with the CFR, reflecting the preponderance of the first lien debt in the capital structure. First lien facilities are secured by substantially all of the assets of the borrower and guarantors (domestic subsidiaries), 65% stock pledge of the foreign subsidiaries and have a negative pledge restricting their ability to incur debt and liens subject to certain carveouts. The first lien term loan contains no financial covenants. The revolving credit facility has a springing first lien net leverage covenant when the revolver draw exceeds 40% of commitment. The Caa2 rating of the senior unsecured notes reflects their lower priority position in the capital structure and their effective subordination to the secured debt. The notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by substantially all of the assets of the borrower and guarantors (domestic subsidiaries). Marketing terms for the new credit facilities (final terms may differ materially) include the following: Incremental pari passu debt capacity up to the greater of $786 million and 100% of EBITDA. There is an inside maturity sublimit up to the greater of $1,572 million and 100% of EBITDA. "Blocker" provisions restrict the transfer of material mineral rights, intellectual property and other material non-cash assets to unrestricted subsidiaries. The credit agreement provides limitations on up-tiering transactions, requiring affected lender consent for amendments that subordinate the debt or liens, unless affected lenders are offered the opportunity to participate ratably in the priming debt, in which case majority consent of the affected class is required. Amounts under the Available Amount starter prong (the greater of $786 million and 100% of EBITDA) and the general restricted payments basket (the greater of $590 million and 75% of EBITDA) may be used to incur debt. FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS Moody's would consider an upgrade if the company reduces debt such that, under normal (average) winter conditions, Moody's-adjusted Debt/EBITDA is sustained below 6.0x and Retained Cash Flow (RCF)/Net Debt is sustained above 7.5%, and the company maintains good liquidity and a conservative financial policy, including no large debt-financed acquisitions and no significant dividend payments to the owners. Moody's would consider a downgrade if, under normal (average) winter conditions, Moody's adjusted Debt/EBITDA is sustained above 7.5x or Moody's-adjusted EBITDA/Interest is sustained below 1.25x. Moody's would also consider a downgrade if the company's operating and financial performance were to worsen, resulting in sustained negative free cash flow or deterioration in its liquidity; if the company undertakes large debt-financed acquisitions; or if it makes significant distributions that constrain its ability to maintain a credit profile commensurate with the rating.

The A&R Sales Agreement otherwise retains all material terms of the Original Sales Agreement and provides for the sale of common shares, no par value per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $10,300,000 in transactions that are deemed to be "at the market offerings" as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-269663) and the prospectus supplement relating thereto filed on July 31, 2026. In connection with the entry into the A&R Sales Agreement, the Company terminated the offering of Common Shares under the prior prospectus supplement dated Jan. 3, 2025, effective July 31, 2026, which covered the offer and sale of Common Shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $8 million.

SPHERE 3D: Endeavor Holds 6.5% Stake, Eyes Value Creation --------------------------------------------------------- Endeavor Blockchain, LLC, and its managing member, Joshua Kilgore, disclosed in a Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that, as of July 29, 2026, they beneficially owned 500,000 common shares of Sphere 3D Corp., representing approximately 6.5% of the company's outstanding shares. According to the filing, Endeavor Blockchain and Kilgore have shared voting power and shared dispositive power over all 500,000 shares, with no sole voting or dispositive power. The shares were purchased in open market transactions using the firm's working capital for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $988,384, excluding brokerage commissions. The filing states that the investment was made because the reporting persons believed Sphere 3D's shares were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity.

Circuit Upholds Ex-CEO's Contempt Conviction ----------------------------------------------------------------- Jared Foretek of Law360 reports that the D.C. Circuit has upheld criminal and civil contempt findings issued by a U.S. Senate committee against former Steward Health Care System LLC CEO Ralph de la Torre, who refused to testify before lawmakers examining the hospital chain's financial troubles and eventual Chapter 11 filing. Members of the Senate sought de la Torre's testimony as part of an investigation into Steward's business practices, financial condition, and the effects of the company's collapse on hospitals, workers, and patient care. His refusal to comply with the subpoena prompted the committee to pursue contempt measures, the report cites. In affirming the lower court, the appellate panel determined that the Senate committee acted within its constitutional and statutory authority. The decision leaves the contempt findings intact and marks another legal setback for the former executive amid continuing scrutiny of Steward's bankruptcy, according to Law360. About Steward Health Care Steward Health Care System, LLC, owns and operates the largest private physician-owned for-profit healthcare network in the U.S. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, Steward's operations include 31 hospitals in eight states, approximately 400 facility locations, 4,500 primary and specialty care physicians, 3,600 staffed beds, and nearly 30,000 employees. Steward Health Care provides care to more than two million patients annually. Steward and 166 affiliated debtors filed Chapter 11 petitions (Bankr. S.D. Texas Lead Case No. 24-90213) on May 6, 2024. Judge Christopher M. Lopez oversees the proceeding. The Debtors tapped Weil, Gotshal & Manges, LLP as bankruptcy counsel; McDermott Will & Emery as special corporate and regulatory counsel; AlixPartners, LLP as financial advisor and John Castellano of AlixPartners as chief restructuring officer. Lazard Freres & Co. LLC, Leerink Partners LLC, and Cain Brothers, a division of KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., provide investment banking services to the Debtors. Kroll is the claims agent. Susan N. Goodman has been appointed as patient care ombudsman in the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases. SYSTEM1 INC: S&P Upgrades ICR to 'CCC+' Following Restructuring --------------------------------------------------------------- S&P Global Ratings raised its issuer credit rating on System1 Inc. to 'CCC+' from 'D'. S&P said, "At the same time, we assigned a 'CCC+' issue-level rating and '3' recovery rating to the $150 million senior secured term loan maturing in 2031 recently issued at subsidiary S1 Holdings Finco LLC. "The stable outlook reflects our expectation that System1 will have sufficient liquidity to cover its needs over the next few years. It also reflects its elevated leverage, expected to be around 9x in 2026 and 8x in 2027, and the risk that ongoing business headwinds could limit FOCF from improving." System1 Inc. recently completed a debt restructuring, exchanging its fully drawn revolving credit facility and term loan (both maturing in 2027) for cash, preferred stock, and a new term loan. While the transaction improves leverage and free operating cash flow (FOCF), S&P believes little room remains for underperformance. While the transaction improves FOCF generation, there is little room for underperformance. S&P said, "We now expect S&P Global Ratings-adjusted gross leverage of about 9x in 2026 compared to our previous expectation of well over 10x. Additionally, the transaction lowers annual interest expense to about $15 million from around $28 million. We expect this lower interest will help the company return to positive free cash flow generation, though there is still little room for underperformance." System1's revenue and EBITDA have both dropped over the past few years due to lower advertising inventory pricing and continued declines from its Google partnership (67% of revenue), magnified by macroeconomic uncertainty and elevated restructuring costs. S&P said, "While we expect a return to modest growth in 2027, we believe this turnaround remains dependent on favorable economic and operating conditions. Given the company's limited scale, we believe modest underperformance could impair credit metrics. "We expect the company will have sufficient liquidity over the next 12 months. We estimate System1 had about $20 million of cash on hand at the close of the transaction, will generate approximately $10 million in free cash flow in the second half of 2026, and will approach $15 million of reported FOCF in 2027. Given its minimal mandatory amortization and capital expenditure (capex) requirements, we consider this cash generation as adequate for the company's operations. "We include the company's recently issued series A preferred stock to be debt in our calculation of leverage and expect the company will elect to pay all its interest requirements in cash. However, System1 could elect to pay in kind (PIK) the interest on its preferred stock and half of the interest on its new term loan to conserve cash if necessary. "The stable outlook reflects our expectation that System1 will have sufficient liquidity to cover its needs over the next few years. It also reflects its elevated leverage, expected to be around 9x in 2026 and 8x in 2027 and the risk that ongoing business headwinds could limit expected improvement in FOCF." S&P could lower the rating if it envisions a specific default scenario within the next 12 months. This could occur if: -- Weakening macroeconomic conditions or increased competition pressure FOCF generation and increase the potential for a liquidity shortfall; or -- The company pursues a below-par debt buyback or exchange that S&P deems tantamount to a default. S&P could raise the rating if the company establishes a track record of revenue and EBITDA growth over several quarters, such that it expects System1 can generate reported FOCF of at least $20 million annually on a sustained basis.

Case No. 26-18259) on July 21, 2026, listing $1,000,001 to $10 million in both assets and liabilities. Judge Eamonn James O'Hagan presides over the case. Geoffrey P. Neumann, Esq. at Broege, Neumann, Fischer & Shaver, LLC serves as the Debtor's counsel. TIMOTHY E. RYAN: Seeks Cash Collateral Access --------------------------------------------- Timothy E. Ryan Home For Funerals, Inc. asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey for authority to use cash collateral. As of the petition date, the Debtor held $364,328 in cash and $66,817 in accounts receivable, which constitute cash collateral of Hanover Community Bank, the Debtor's primary secured lender. To maintain going-concern value and fund ongoing operational expenses, the Debtor submitted a proposed monthly budget totaling $96,087, which includes $12,078 in monthly real property tax obligations across the properties. In addition, the Debtor projected robust, flexible monthly revenues (averaging around $200,000 based on historical data from April through July) that comfortably cover operating expenses. Because revenue and expenses fluctuate based on individual funeral services, the Debtor seeks flexibility to deviate from individual budget line items provided expenses remain in the ordinary course of business. As adequate protection for any diminution in the value of Hanover's interest during the restructuring, the Debtor proposes making monthly interest-only payments at the variable contract rate (estimated at ~7.5%), amounting to approximately $38,756 per month, which will keep Hanover’s principal debt static. The Debtor operates six funeral homes across Ocean County, New Jersey, specifically in Bayville, Toms River (two locations), Jackson, Seaside Park, and Lavallette. While the Debtor owns the real property in Lavallette and Seaside Park, the remaining four locations are owned by an affiliate, Ryan Family Properties, LLC, whose expenses and real property taxes are fully paid by the Debtor despite the absence of written leases. Following the death of founder Timothy Ryan in 2019 and his daughter Erin Ryan in 2023, the Debtor's ownership structure consists of an 85% stake held by Regina O’Donnell (Erin's mother and sole heir) and a 15% stake held by the Timothy E. Ryan UA FBO Alice Santangelo trust. The Debtor's bankruptcy filing was prompted by state court litigation and pending applications for temporary restraints initiated by Hanover, which sought a forced liquidation of the business assets. Hanover acquired the Debtor's loans through its parent company's 2021 acquisition of Savoy Bank. The underlying debt consists of two loans executed in November 2018: Loan A, an initial $3.260 million commercial loan with an extended maturity date of April 1, 2026, which is now in default; and Loan B, a $4.8 million loan with a 25-year maturity date ending in 2043. As of June 16, the outstanding balance was $2,890,053 on Loan A and $3,478,730 on Loan B (inclusive of accrued interest and arrears), totaling approximately $6.37 million. Hanover's claims are heavily secured by mortgages covering seven real estate parcels owned by the Debtor, RFP, and Timothy Ryan individually, which carry a combined appraised fair market value of $8,516,604, establishing that Hanover is substantially over-secured. A court hearing is scheduled for August 20. A copy of the motion is available at https://urlcurt.com/u?l=oy9m03 from PacerMonitor.com. About Timothy E. Ryan Home For Funerals Inc. Timothy E.

TRANSGLOBAL MGMT: Apache Creek Golf Course Deal Ends Over Financing ------------------------------------------------------------------- Transglobal Management Group, Inc. announced that the proposed acquisition of substantially all of the assets of the Apache Creek Golf Course business in Apache Junction, Arizona, will not proceed after the Company was unable to obtain the financing necessary to complete the transaction. The Company previously entered into a Purchase Agreement dated April 1, 2026, together with an Amendment and Clarification Agreement dated April 10, 2026, with Dalston LLP for the acquisition. Following execution of the agreements, the Company sought additional financing to satisfy the remaining purchase price obligations and engaged in discussions with the seller regarding a potential restructuring of the transaction, including modifications to the payment terms. However, the parties were unable to reach a mutually acceptable resolution. The Company said the seller has informed it that the transaction will not proceed. Pursuant to the terms of the agreements, the seller will retain the previously paid $200,000 deposit, which the Company expects to recognize as a loss associated with the terminated acquisition.

VANGUARD CUSTOM: Court Extends Cash Collateral Access to Aug. 23 ---------------------------------------------------------------- The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois entered a sixth interim order extending Vanguard Custom Woodwork Inc.'s authority to use cash collateral through August 23. Under the sixth interim order, the Debtor is permitted to use cash collateral for ordinary business expenses, including adequate protection payments to Huntington National Bank in accordance with the approved budget. The Debtor is allowed a variance of up to 10% per budget line item. Huntington claims a first-priority lien on substantially all of the Debtor's assets including cash. Other creditors including Amex Business, Capital Infusion, Dext Capital, Fox Funding Group, Headway Capital, Koverly, National Funding, and Olympus Business Funding may also assert interests in the cash collateral, though the Debtor does not concede the validity or priority of those claims. As adequate protection, Huntington is entitled to periodic cash payments as outlined in the budget. Additionally, Huntington and any other secured creditors will be granted replacement liens on post-petition assets of the same type and priority as their pre-petition collateral, but only to the extent of any decline in value caused by the Debtor's use of the cash collateral. The replacement liens do not extend to avoidance actions and their proceeds. The order preserves all parties' rights to challenge the validity or extent of any claims or liens and does not constitute any admission by the debtor. A further hearing on continued use of cash collateral is scheduled for August 19. The order is available at https://shorturl.at/ro1tA About Vanguard Custom Woodwork Inc.

VITAL YOU: Seeks Cash Collateral Access --------------------------------------- Vital You Functional Medicine, LLC asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division, for authority to use cash collateral. The Debtor needs immediate access to its cash collateral to fund its operating expenses based on a proposed three-month operating budget. Public filings with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation show two potential blanket liens against the Debtor's assets. The first is held by DEXT Capital, LLC for a claim of $150,000, filed in July 2025, and the second is held by Corporation Service Company as representative for a $1 claim filed in April. Because public records do not fully clarify the scope or validity of these assertions, the Debtor refers to these creditors as lenders while explicitly reserving the right to challenge the enforceability, priority, and extent of their underlying security interests. Vital You was founded in 2023 and operated profitably until mid-2025, when it took on significant debt to purchase expansion equipment. The equipment failed to generate the projected revenue needed to offset its financing costs, severely impairing the business's cash flow and forcing it to seek bankruptcy protection to reorganize its debts while maintaining operations.

WANJOGU LLC: Amends Motion to Sell Georgia Properties to Blacker ---------------------------------------------------------------- Wanjogu, LLC seeks permission from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division, amends motion to sell Property, free and clear of liens, claims, interests, and encumbrances. Debtor was formed in 2021 and in addition to its ownership of the properties set forth below, its business revenues were previously derived from consulting services for social media businesses. The Debtor owns certain real property including: a. 108 Fairburn Road SW, Atlanta, GA 30331 (Fairburn Property) with purchase price of $150,000. b. 2898 Glenwood Avenue SE Atlanta, GA 30317 (Glenwood Property) with purchase price of $185,000. c. 88 Flora Avenue, Atlanta, GA 30307 (Flora Property) with purchase price of $375,000. d. 545 Allendale Drive, Decatur, GA 30032 (Allendale Property) with purchase price of $285,000. e. 881 Smith Street SW, Atlanta, GA 30310 with purchase price of $390,000. The total aggregate purchase price is $1,385,000. The Buyer agrees to purchase the Properties in their present "AS-IS, WHERE-IS" condition, with all faults. Seller makes no warranties or representations regarding the condition of the Properties. Buyer is purchasing based on Buyer's own inspection and due diligence. The down payments for the Properties, approximately $30,000 each, were funded by a combination of Debtor's business revenues and Ms. Wanjogu's personal funds. In approving the loans, Kiavi obtained appraisals of the properties and relied upon Ms. Wanjogu's personal credit. Debtor's struggles with the Lenders began in approximately February or March of 2025. The Debtor was delayed in making a couple of monthly payments to the Lenders, which payments were ultimately cured. Because Debtor could not afford to reinstate the loans, Debtor began searching for purchasers for the Properties. Ms. Wanjogu is a licensed real estate agent and utilized her real estate and business contacts in marketing the Properties. Debtor approached the Lender with this proposed sale to resolve the foreclosure but the Lenders would not consent to the sale. Accordingly, Debtor was forced to file the case to prevent foreclosure of the Properties, to maximize the value obtained through a sale, and to avoid a windfall to the Lenders. The Debtor has determined that selling the Properties pursuant to the Purchase Agreement is in the best interests of the estate and its creditors. About Wanjogu LLC Wanjogu, LLC manages and appraises a single-residence property located at 881 Smith Street SW, Atlanta, Georgia, and operates within the real estate services industry.

WHATABRANDS LLC: Moody's Rates New $2.7BB First Lien Term Loan 'B2' ------------------------------------------------------------------- Moody's Ratings assigned B2 ratings to Whatabrands LLC's ("Whatabrands") proposed $2,730 million senior secured first lien term loan due 2033 and the $350 million senior secured first lien revolving credit facility due 2031. Concurrently, Moody's affirmed all of the company's ratings, including the B2 corporate family rating, the B2-PD probability of default rating and the B2 ratings on the company's existing senior secured first lien term loan B due 2028 and the $330 million senior secured revolving credit facility due 2030. The outlook is stable. Proceeds from the proposed senior secured term loan will be used to refinance the existing term loan. As part of the transaction, Whatabrands is also entering into a new $350 million revolving credit facility that will replace the existing $330 million facility. The transaction adds a modest amount of liquidity and lengthens the company's maturity profile. At transaction close, Moody's will withdraw the ratings on the existing term loan and revolving credit facility. The affirmations and stable outlook reflect Moody's expectations of continued improvement in earnings and positive free cash flow generation supported by a modest improvement in traffic and new unit growth as well as its cost reduction initiatives. Moody's expects debt/EBITDA to improve to the mid-5x range and EBITA/interest of around 1.8x over the next 12-18 months. Moody's also expects that Whatabrands will maintain a balanced financial policy and refrain from any debt financed shareholder distributions as well as continue to generate positive free cash flow. RATINGS RATIONALE Whatabrands B2 CFR reflects the company's consistent free cash flow generation, its strong brand awareness amongst consumers in its core market of Texas as reflected by its above average unit volumes, diversified day-part and share of drive-through/off-premise sales as a percentage of total revenues. It also considers its modest scale, high geographic concentration in Texas and private equity ownership with aggressive financial policies including a tolerance for high leverage and history of debt funded shareholder distributions. The B2 CFR also considers Whatabrands' good liquidity with $350 million of revolver available at transaction close and an expectation that cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund capital expenditures including spending on new restaurants for the next 12 months. Marketing terms for the new credit facilities (final terms may differ materially) include the following: Incremental pari passu debt capacity up to the greater of 100% of closing EBITDA and 100% of consolidated EBITDA, plus unused amounts from the restricted payments covenant, restricted debt payments covenant, cumulative credit basket, general and unrestricted subsidiary investment baskets, the contribution debt basket and general debt basket, plus unlimited amounts subject to first lien net leverage not exceeding 0.50x outside closing date first lien net leverage or pro forma leverage no worse than prior to incurrence. There is an inside maturity sublimit up to the greater of 100% of closing EBITDA and 100% of consolidated EBITDA. The Facilities Documentation is expected to include "J. Crew," "Chewy" and "Serta" provisions, restricting the transfer of material intellectual property to unrestricted subsidiaries and providing some limitations on up-tiering transactions. FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS Factors supporting an upgrade over the next 12 to 18 months would require solid revenue and earnings growth from healthy positive same-store sales and new restaurant openings that meet return expectations. An upgrade would also require debt/EBITDA maintained below 5.25x and EBITA/ interest above 2.0x times with good liquidity including generating free cash flow/debt of at least 5%. A downgrade could occur if the company adopts a more aggressive financial policy which would include debt financed shareholder distributions. A downgrade could also result in the event liquidity were to deteriorate in any way including the sustained use of the senior secured revolving credit facility to support cash flow deficits or if substantial revolver availability is not maintained. Quantitatively, a downgrade could also occur if debt/EBITDA is sustained above 6.0x or EBITA/ interest is sustained below 1.5x.

ZIPRECRUITER INC: S&P Lowers ICR to 'B-', Alters Outlook to Stable ------------------------------------------------------------------ S&P Global Ratings lowered its issuer credit rating on ZipRecruiter Inc. to 'B-' from 'B'. S&P said, "Additionally, we lowered our issue-level rating on the company's senior notes to 'B-' from 'B' and revised the recovery rating to '3' (rounded estimate: 60%) from '4' (rounded estimate: 40%) as a result of the company's recent debt repurchase. "We also revised the outlook to stable from negative, which reflects our expectation that the company will continue to generate modest free operating cash flow (FOCF) and increase margins." ZipRecruiter Inc.'s operating performance faces material risk from an increasingly competitive landscape and limited scale. S&P said, "We believe ZipRecruiter's modest operating scale may impede its competitiveness, in a market where user volume is critical. Although we anticipate modest revenue growth in 2027, we expect a significantly lower rate than historical averages, as the company's scale normalizes well below its post-COVID-19 peaks. We expect revenue and EBITDA to stabilize at approximately $500 million and $60 million, respectively, over the next few years--a significant contraction from the fiscal 2022 peak of $905 million and $182 million, respectively." This deceleration follows the exhaustion of the substantial tailwinds provided by COVID-19 labor disruptions, as the market transitioned into a "low-hire, low-fire" phase. ZipRecruiter's diminished scale also reflects its modest market share within a highly concentrated industry. The company faces intense competitive headwinds from well-capitalized incumbents--notably LinkedIn, owned by Microsoft Corp. (AAA/Stable/A-1+) and Indeed/Glassdoor, owned by Recruit Holdings Co. Ltd. (A/Stable/--). Collectively, these two companies command over 80% of the market. Furthermore, while ZipRecruiter has struggled, many competitors have leveraged diversified business models to mitigate cyclical hiring shifts and strengthen their market dominance. A lack of meaningful diversification amplifies vulnerability to the volatile labor market. ZipRecruiter's revenue model is highly concentrated, with nearly 100% of income derived from subscription plans purchased by employers. This creates a significant concentration risk, as the customer base consists exclusively of employers with transient, project-based hiring requirements. Consequently, while the company utilizes a subscription model, the revenue lacks the stability of long-term recurring streams, as renewals are highly dependent on the fluctuating, short-term hiring cycles of its client base. Due to its limited diversification, ZipRecruiter's revenue remains highly correlated with overall labor market conditions. S&P said, "While we expect hiring activity and revenue growth to remain subdued through 2026, we anticipate an inflection point in 2027 as conditions gradually improve, supporting low-single-digit percent revenue growth." S&P said, "We anticipate material improvement in credit metrics following the recent debt repurchase. The company recently repurchased $295 million of its $550 million senior unsecured notes due 2030 at a $65 million discount to par, taking advantage of depressed trading levels. We viewed this as opportunistic, rather than distressed, due to ZipRecruiter's high cash balance, long-dated debt maturity, continued cash flow generation, and lack of covenant risk. "Credit metrics improvement was driven by a debt repurchase at a significant discount to par rather than fundamental operational improvements. Given the uncertainty regarding future operating performance, we maintain our view that financial risk remains elevated. We also note the company's debt continues to trade at distressed levels, currently priced in the 70 cent area. "The stable outlook reflects our expectation that ZipRecruiter's revenue decline will cease and margins will expand. The stable outlook reflects our expectation that leverage will be in the mid-5x area in 2026. "We could lower ZipRecruiter's ratings if a payment default or distressed restructuring becomes likely within the next 12 months. Such a scenario would be driven by deteriorating operating performance and tightening liquidity." In this event, S&P would expect: -- EBITDA interest coverage to remain below 1.5x; and -- Sustained negative FOCF. S&P said, "We could upgrade the rating if the company materially reduces operating volatility and increases scale. Furthermore, we would need to be confident that its debt to EBITDA would remain below 5.0x, even when accounting for potential increases in personnel and marketing expenses in a more favorable hiring market." ********* On Thursdays, the TCR delivers a list of recently filed Chapter 11 cases involving less than $1,000,000 in assets and liabilities delivered to nation's bankruptcy courts.
