Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 15, 2025, ABM Industries Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“ABM”), entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with PW Red October S.À R.L, Watchman Investment Holdings Unlimited Company, and certain Management Sellers, as defined in the Purchase Agreement (the “Sellers”), pursuant to which ABM will acquire all of the issued and outstanding share capital of Iveagh New Opportunities Limited, a company incorporated in Ireland, and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “WGNSTAR”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $275 million in cash, payable in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and subject to the adjustments set forth therein (the transaction, the “Acquisition”). ABM will finance the Acquisition with cash on hand and borrowings under its amended revolving credit facility.

The closing of the Acquisition is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as well as certain other regulatory approvals in Ireland.

The parties have each made customary representations, warranties, and covenants, including, among others, the Sellers’ agreement to cause WGNSTAR to conduct its business in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and the parties’ agreement to use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the Acquisition. The Purchase Agreement also contains limited indemnification provisions and certain termination rights of the parties, including in the event that the other party has breached its material closing obligations, subject to the ability to cure.

ABM expects to file the Purchase Agreement as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended January 31, 2026. The foregoing description is a summary of the material terms of the Purchase Agreement, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Purchase Agreement when filed.
