MGP Ingredients, Inc. signed Amendment No. 2 to its credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank on August 6, 2026, and an Eighth Amendment to its PGIM note purchase agreement. The amendments let the company exclude up to $20,000,000 of losses on specific customer receivables from covenant calculations through December 31, 2027, and the company has elected a higher leverage ceiling tied to the Penelope Bourbon earnout. The filing names MGP Ingredients rather than Sempreon, Inc., so shareholders should confirm the ticker and company before relying on it.
Amendment No. 2 is dated August 6, 2026, and lets the company add back up to $20,000,000 in aggregate losses on certain customer receivables through December 31, 2027.
Covenants remain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.00 and a net leverage ratio of no greater than 4.00 to 1.00, which rises to 4.50 to 1.00 during an Elevated Ratio Period.
The company has elected an Elevated Ratio Period starting with the quarter ended June 30, 2026, for three quarters after that, linked to the Penelope Bourbon LLC earnout.
The company says it expects the third fiscal quarter of 2026 to be its peak leverage point, and describes the amendments as precautionary.

Uber entered into a new $7.7 billion revolving credit agreement that replaces its existing facility, and a term loan credit agreement that will help finance its voluntary takeover offer for Delivery Hero SE. The filing also reduces the commitments under the company's bridge credit facility by €4 billion and amends that bridge agreement. The new debt arrangements add financing commitments for the Delivery Hero deal, but the filing states that no revolver borrowings have been drawn.

Term loan commitments in two tranches mature 18 months (Tranche A) and three years (Tranche B) after closing, and proceeds are for the Delivery Hero offer and related costs.
Term loan commitments reduced the bridge credit agreement commitments by €4 billion; Amendment No. 1 raised a cross-default threshold from $300 million to $500 million.
