On October 28, 2026, JELD-WEN Holding announced that JELD-WEN, Inc. launched an exchange offer and consent solicitation for its $400,000,000 of 4.875% senior notes due 2027, offering new first lien senior secured notes due 2031 and up to $410.2 million of new money. The filing says the deal would remove substantially all restrictive covenants in the old notes and subordinate existing term loans to the new notes, and that the company's forward-looking statements cite risks including its ability to continue as a going concern if the transactions are not completed. For shareholders, the transaction reshapes the company's debt structure on terms that include a higher interest rate and reduced lender protections.
Early Exchange Time is 5:00 p.m. New York time on November 10, 2026; the offer expires November 27, 2026, unless extended.

About 94.5% of old notes and about 72.2% of term loans are held by parties to the commitment letter that supports the transactions.
