Description of credit arrangements
Pan-U.S. ABL Facility
The Pan-U.S. ABL Facility provides Ravenswood, Muscle Shoals, and Bowling Green (the “Borrowers”) a working
capital facility for their respective operations. The Pan-U.S. ABL Facility matures on the earlier of (i) August 22, 2029 and (ii)
90 days prior to the maturity date of any indebtedness (other than loans under the Pan-U.S. ABL Facility) of any Borrower or
any Borrower’s subsidiaries in an aggregate amount exceeding $50 million.
The available commitments thereunder are $550 million and include an accordion feature which if exercised in full,
would allow the Borrowers to increase commitments by $100 million subject to additional lender commitments, borrowing base
availability and certain other conditions. The Pan-U.S. ABL Facility has sublimits of $30 million for letters of credit and
$10 million for swingline loans.
This facility contains a fixed charge coverage ratio maintenance covenant along with customary affirmative and negative
covenants. Evaluation of compliance with the maintenance covenant is only required if the borrowing availability falls below
10% of the aggregate revolving loan commitments.
The borrowers' obligations under this facility are, subject to certain exceptions, secured by substantially all of the assets
of Ravenswood, Muscle Shoals, and Bowling Green and certain assets of the guarantors of this facility.
French Inventory Facility
At December 31, 2025, French subsidiaries Constellium Issoire S.A.S. and Constellium Neuf-Brisach S.A.S. have a
€100 million committed asset-based credit facility (the “French Inventory Facility”) in place. The Borrowers’ obligations under
the French Inventory Facility are secured by possessory and non-possessory pledges of the eligible inventory of the borrowers.
The Facility was amended in February 2025 and the maturity was extended to December 2027. The French Inventory Facility
remained undrawn at December 31, 2025.
