Item 1.01	Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 12, 2025, UniFirst Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Company”) entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and an L/C Issuer, the other lenders party thereto, BofA Securities, Inc., as Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Book Manager, Santander Bank, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Documentation Agent. The Credit Agreement amends and restates the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 26, 2021, by and among the Company, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and an L/C Issuer, the other lenders party thereto, BofA Securities, Inc., as Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Book Manager, Santander Bank, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Documentation Agent.

The Credit Agreement provides for a $300,000,000 unsecured, revolving credit facility, of which $150,000,000 may be used for issuances of letters of credit. The Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on August 12, 2030. Provided there is no default or event of default under the Credit Agreement and the Company would be in compliance with its financial covenants on a pro forma basis, the Company may, from time to time, request an increase in the aggregate commitments under the Credit Agreement (in the form of revolving or term tranches) of up to $100,000,000, for a total aggregate commitment of up to $400,000,000.

As of August 12, 2025, the current interest rate for any Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) rate borrowings under the Credit Agreement, based on the Company’s current consolidated funded debt ratio, is SOFR plus 1.00%. The specific spread over SOFR will depend on the Company’s consolidated funded debt ratio. During an event of default under the Credit Agreement, obligations under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate then in effect plus 2.00%.

The Credit Agreement contains provisions requiring the Company to maintain compliance with certain financial and restrictive covenants. The Credit Agreement also contains certain events of default, including non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of specified covenants, cross-defaults to certain other indebtedness, invalidity of any loan document relating to the facility, judgments having a material adverse effect, insolvency events, and change of control, subject, in certain instances, to cure periods. Obligations under the Credit Agreement may be declared due and payable upon the occurrence of such events of default.

A copy of the Credit Agreement is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The description above is a summary of the Credit Agreement, does not provide a complete description of the Credit Agreement, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Credit Agreement.
