# MGP Ingredients Amends Credit and Note Agreements to Permit $20 Million EBITDA Add-Back

MGP Ingredients amended its primary financing agreements to allow up to $20 million of specified customer receivable losses to be added back to Consolidated EBITDA through December 31, 2027, with any recoveries deducted later. The company signed Amendment No. 2 to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and an Eighth Amendment to its Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement, aligning covenant definitions across lenders and noteholders. The updates are intended to provide precautionary covenant flexibility as management expects leverage to peak in Q3 2026 and then decline. Existing covenants, including a 1.25x fixed charge coverage minimum and a net leverage cap of 4.0x (4.5x during an Elevated Ratio Period the company has elected), remain in place.
