(\u201cLeslie\u2019s\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), the largest and most trusted direct-to-customer brand in the U.S. pool and spa care industry serving residential customers and pool professionals nationwide, today announced that it has entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (\u201cRSA\u201d) with a group of its existing lenders that lays the groundwork for transactions that will significantly strengthen the Company\u2019s capital structure, rationalize its retail operational footprint and create greater financial flexibility to support reinvestment in the business and continued focus on operating execution of its strategic transformation.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe RSA includes commitments for $90 million of new-money debtor-in-possession (\u201cDIP\u201d) financing and a $60 million equity financing, with the equity financing fully backstopped by certain of the RSA parties, and a reduction of approximately $685 million, or 90%, of the Company\u2019s outstanding funded debt. With a stronger financial foundation, deleveraged balance sheet, optimized store footprint, and liquidity to further invest in the business, Leslie\u2019s will be well-positioned to reinvest in its operations, enhance the customer experience, and continue serving customers with the service, expertise, and solutions that make Leslie\u2019s the best choice for pool and spa owners.<\/p>\n<p>\nTo implement the restructuring transactions that the RSA contemplates as efficiently as possible, Leslie\u2019s filed voluntary petitions for prearranged chapter 11 cases in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the \u201cCourt\u201d). Upon emergence, the Company expects to be under the majority ownership of a group of its existing lenders who support Leslie&#8217;s mission to deliver unparalleled expertise, service, and innovative solutions for its customers. Leslie\u2019s expects to move through this process efficiently, with the goal of emerging from chapter 11 in early 2027.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cToday\u2019s announcement marks an important milestone in our commitment to our customers and our business,\u201d said Jason McDonell, Chief Executive Officer of Leslie\u2019s. \u201cWith a stronger balance sheet and greater financial flexibility, Leslie\u2019s can reinvest across the business to strengthen operating execution and deliver an even better experience for our customers, both in-store and online. Leslie\u2019s is here to stay, and I am deeply grateful to our employees, customers, and partners for their continued support as we work to position Leslie\u2019s for a strong future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nImportantly, Leslie\u2019s remains fully operational and committed to serving customers without interruption, including through its physical stores and digital platforms. As part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen operating performance, Leslie\u2019s continues to evaluate opportunities to better align its store network with customer demand and long-term business objectives. In connection with this evaluation, Leslie\u2019s today announced the closure of 76 stores. All remaining stores outside of those that were recently closed remain open and fully operational to serve customers. Through the chapter 11 process, Leslie\u2019s will continue to evaluate its real estate portfolio to better align its footprint with the long-term needs of the business.<\/p>\n<p>\nLeslie\u2019s will continue operating in the ordinary course of business throughout the chapter 11 process and remains committed to honoring its obligations to employees, partners, and vendors and delivering for its customers without disruption. The Company has filed a number of customary \u201cfirst day\u201d motions, which, upon approval by the Court, will enable Leslie\u2019s to continue to pay employee wages and benefits as usual, maintain customer programs, honor obligations to vendors, and obtain other relief measures common in these circumstances. All gift cards and loyalty program benefits will continue to be honored.<\/p>\n<p>\nTo fund operations without disruption during the chapter 11 process, Leslie\u2019s has also filed a motion seeking approval of the $90 million DIP facility from a group of its existing lenders and a fully committed $225 million DIP asset-based financing facility from its existing ABL lenders. Upon Court approval, these financing arrangements will provide sufficient liquidity to support the Company&#8217;s operations throughout the chapter 11 process.<\/p>\n<p>\nAdditional information regarding Leslie\u2019s chapter 11 cases, including Court filings and other documents related to the proceedings, is available through the Company\u2019s claims agent, Kroll, at <span class=\"bwuline\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Frestructuring.ra.kroll.com%2Flesliespool&amp;esheet=54613234&amp;newsitemid=20260930768078&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=https%3A%2F%2Frestructuring.ra.kroll.com%2Flesliespool&amp;index=1&amp;md5=466612f03e1de20bc12348c045b186c8\">https:\/\/restructuring.ra.kroll.com\/lesliespool<\/a><\/span>.
