Credit Agreement

We are party to a credit agreement with a group of lenders initially entered into in June 2015 and, amended and restated in June 2023 (the “Credit Agreement”), which, among other things, provides for a $500 million secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility has a maturity date of June 29, 2028. On July 8, 2024, the Company entered into the First Amendment to its Credit Agreement, which primarily implemented the Term Loan B Facility (discussed below), and, on March 20, 2025, entered into the Second Amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement, which increased the existing Term Loan B Facility in the amount of $350 million. On June 5, 2025, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to the amended Credit Agreement, which amended the Credit Facility’s maturity conditions (the Credit Agreement, with the First Amendment, the Second Amendment and the Third Amendment is hereinafter referred to as the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Credit Facility had previously provided a conditional maturity date (referred to as “Springing Maturity Date” in Amended Credit Agreement) that was 91 days prior to the final scheduled maturity date in respect of any indebtedness outstanding under certain “specified debt,” the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such specified debt is $200 million or more. The Third Amendment defined the occurrence of Springing Maturity Date as 91 days or fewer prior to the final schedule maturity date in respect of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of indebtedness under the 2026 Senor Notes that is $200 million or more and the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries, less deferred merchant payables, is less than $500 million. The Amended Credit Agreement does not change the aggregate amount of revolving commitments available at $500 million related to our Credit Facility.

The Amended Credit Agreement includes certain customary restrictions on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, grant additional liens, and make investments, acquisitions, dispositions, distributions, and other payments, with certain exceptions as more specifically described in the Amended Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary events of default and modifies the cross-default provision so that the Term Loan B Facility includes a customary cross-acceleration event of default with the Credit Facility under the Amended Credit Agreement. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, then, among other things, the lenders under the Credit Facility and/or the Term Loan B Facility, as applicable, may declare any outstanding Credit Facility and/or Term Loan B Facility obligations, as applicable, under the Amended Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable and exercise their rights and remedies against the collateral. The obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all assets, whether personal, tangible or intangible, of the Company and the Subsidiary Loan Parties as granted under the

Security Documents. Any term not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Amended Credit Agreement.

Credit Facility

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had no outstanding borrowings from the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility also includes $15 million of borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and $40 million for swing-line borrowings on same-day notice. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had issued $4 million and $3 million, respectively, of undrawn standby letters of credit under the Credit Facility. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we recorded total commitment fees on the Credit Facility of $1 million to interest expense on our consolidated statements of operations. The Amended Credit Agreement, among other things, requires us to maintain a maximum total net leverage ratio of 4.5 to 1.0 solely in respect to the Credit Facility and contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including a change of control. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company was in compliance with its existing covenants.

The Company may borrow from the Credit Facility in U.S. dollars, Euros and Sterling. Borrowings under the Credit Facility generally bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate per annum equal to either (i) the Adjusted Term SOFR rate for the interest period in effect for such borrowing in U.S. dollars, the EURIBO rate for the interest period in effect for such borrowings in Euro and the Daily Simple SONIA rate for the interest period in effect for such borrowings in Sterling; plus, in each case, an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.50% (“Term Benchmark/RFP Spread”), based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio; or (ii) the Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”), which is the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the New York Fed Bank Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1.00% per annum, and (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR for an interest period of one month as published two US Government Securities Business Days prior to such day (or if such day is not a US Government Securities Business Day, the immediately preceding US Government Securities Business Day) plus 1.00% plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.50%, based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. In addition, we are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee, at an applicable rate ranging from 0.25% to 0.40%, on the daily unused portion of the Credit Facility for each fiscal quarter and in connection with the issuance of letters of credit. As of December 31, 2025, our unused revolver capacity was subject to a commitment fee of 0.25%, given the Company’s total net leverage ratio.

There is no specific repayment date prior to the maturity date for any borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement. We may voluntarily repay any outstanding borrowing under the Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs with respect to Term Benchmark loans. Additionally, the Company believes that the likelihood of the lender exercising any subjective acceleration rights, which would permit the lenders to accelerate repayment of any outstanding borrowings, is remote. As such, we intend to classify any future borrowings under this facility as long-term debt.

Term Loan B Facility

On July 8, 2024, under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company issued a $500 million Term Loan B Facility maturing July 8, 2031, with an interest rate based on secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") plus 2.75% and was offered at 99.75% of par. On July 15, 2024, the Company used these borrowed funds to fully redeem its outstanding 2025 Senior Notes. On March 20, 2025, under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company increased its existing Term Loan B Facility in the amount of $350 million, with a maturity date of July 8, 2031 and an interest rate based on SOFR plus 2.75% (the “Tack-On Incremental Term Loan B Facility”). The Tack-On Incremental Term Loan B Facility was offered at 98.56% of par. The proceeds from the Tack-On Incremental Term Loan B Facility will be used to fund the repurchase, repayment or redemption of the Company's 2026 Senior Notes and for general corporate purposes. The Company incurred $9 million of debt issuance costs associated with the Tack-On Incremental Term Loan B Facility. We refer to the original Term Loan B Facility, combined with the Tack-On Incremental Term Loan B Facility, as the “Term Loan B Facility.”

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the interest rate on the Term Loan B Facility was 6.47% and 7.11%, respectively, and the weighted-average interest rate on the Term Loan B Facility was 6.98% and 7.74% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Term Loan B Facility is required to be paid down at 1.00%

of the aggregate principal amount per year, repayable in quarterly installments on the last day of each calendar quarter, equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount with the balance due on the maturity date. Principal payments of $9 million and $1 million were made during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Term Loan B Facility has no financial covenants.

As of December 31, 2025, and in connection with the issuance of the Term Loan B Facility, we have $12 million remaining of debt issuance costs, comprised of the initial purchasers’ discount, lender fees, and other debt financing costs. These debt issuance costs will be amortized over the remaining term of the Term Loan B Facility, using the effective interest rate method, and recorded to interest expense on our consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, unpaid interest on the Term Loan B Facility was not material. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded $55 million and $19 million, respectively, of interest expense on our consolidated statements of operations.

2025 Senior Notes

On July 15, 2024, the Company redeemed all $500 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 2025 Senior Notes, in addition to the settlement of accrued and unpaid interest. As a result, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2 million, which primarily consisted of a non-cash write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, and is included in Other income (expense), net on our consolidated statement of operations the year ended December 31, 2024. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we recorded $19 million and $35 million of interest expense, respectively, on our consolidated statements of operations.

2026 Senior Notes

On March 25, 2021, we entered into a purchase agreement for the sale of $345 million aggregate principal amount of 0.25% Convertible 2026 Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Senior Notes”) in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers. The terms of the 2026 Senior Notes are governed by an Indenture, dated March 25, 2021 (the “2026 Indenture”), among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and the trustee. The 2026 Senior Notes mature on April 1, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The 2026 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company, although guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, with interest payable semiannually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, unpaid interest on our 2026 Senior Notes was not material.

The 2026 Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option at any time, and from time to time, beginning after April 1, 2024 and on or before the 30th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the 2026 Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, but only if the last reported sale price per share of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (1) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date we send the related redemption notice; and (2) the trading day immediately before the date we send such notice. In addition, calling any such note for redemption will constitute a make-whole fundamental change with respect to that note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption.

The 2026 Senior Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by the guarantors on a senior, unsecured basis. The 2026 Senior Notes are our general senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior indebtedness, and senior in right of payment to all of our future subordinated indebtedness. The 2026 Senior Notes will be effectively subordinated to any of our existing and future secured indebtedness, including borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.

Holders may convert their 2026 Senior Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding January 1, 2026, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, only under the following conditions and circumstances:

during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2021 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;
during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Senior Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or
upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as described in the 2026 Indenture.

In addition, holders may convert their 2026 Senior Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at their option at any time beginning on or after January 1, 2026, and prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the stated maturity date of the 2026 Senior Notes, without regard to the foregoing circumstances.

The initial conversion rate for the 2026 Senior Notes is 13.5483 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Senior Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $73.81 per share of common stock, or approximately 4.7 million shares of common stock, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events as set forth in the 2026 Indenture. Upon conversion, the Company may choose to pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock.

The Company accounts for the 2026 Senior Notes as a liability measured at its amortized cost, and no other features of the 2026 Senior Notes are bifurcated and recognized as a derivative. The proceeds from the issuance of the 2026 Senior Notes were approximately $340 million, net of debt issuance costs of $5 million comprised primarily of the initial purchasers’ discount, and the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the 2026 Senior Notes to enter into capped call transactions, as discussed below. The Company intends to use the remainder of the proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, which may include repayment of debt. The debt issuance costs are being amortized over the remaining term of the 2026 Senior Notes, using the effective interest rate method, and recorded to interest expense on our consolidated statement of operations. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, our effective interest rate on our 2026 Senior Notes, including debt issuance costs, was approximately 0.27%, 0.33% and 0.40%, respectively, and $1 million was recorded as interest expense on our consolidated statements of operations for each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

The 2026 Senior Notes do not contain any financial covenants, restrictions on dividends, incurrence of senior debt or other indebtedness, or restrictions on the issuance or repurchase of securities by the Company.

Capped Call Transactions

In connection with the issuance of the 2026 Senior Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Calls”) with certain of the initial purchasers of the 2026 Senior Notes and/or their respective affiliates and/or other financial institutions (the “Option Counterparties”) at a cost of approximately $35 million. The Capped Calls are separate transactions entered into by the Company with each of the Option Counterparties and are not part of the terms of the 2026 Senior Notes and therefore will not affect any noteholder’s rights under the 2026 Senior Notes. Noteholders will not have any rights with respect to the Capped Calls.

The Capped Calls cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, substantially similar to those applicable to the conversion rate of the 2026 Senior Notes, the number of shares of common stock initially underlying the 2026 Senior Notes, or up to approximately 4.7 million shares of our common stock. The Capped Calls are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to the common stock upon any conversion of 2026 Senior Notes and/or offset any potential cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of such converted 2026 Senior Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The strike price of the Capped Calls is $73.81, while the cap price of the Capped Calls will initially be $107.36 per share of our common

stock, which represents a premium of 100% over the close price of our common stock of $53.68 per share on March 22, 2021 and is subject to certain customary adjustments under the terms of the Capped Calls.

The Capped Calls are considered indexed to our own stock and are considered equity classified under GAAP, and were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital within stockholders’ equity on our consolidated balance sheet when the Capped Calls were purchased in March 2021. The Capped Calls are not accounted for as derivatives and their fair value is not remeasured each reporting period. In addition, upon entering into the Capped Calls we recorded an associated deferred tax asset of $9 million, as we made an income tax election allowable under the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) regulations in order to recover the cost of the Capped Calls as interest expense for income tax purposes only over the term of the 2026 Senior Notes.

About Debt Disclosures

Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.

Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
