COVID-19 Implemented Actions
COVID-19 UPDATE
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented swift actions to protect our employees, ensure uninterrupted service to our customers and aggressively adjust our business and cost structure for a decline in revenues. Our businesses in all three segments support an essential daily requirement, food, and thus have been designated as essential globally. We are proud to continue to support our customers, while adhering to strict employee safety standards at all worldwide operations.

We have implemented the following in response to COVID-19:
- Employee Safety- Implemented companywide procedures including mandated mask policies, enhanced workplace sanitation, travel discontinuation, social distancing, staggered shifts and established work-at-home protocols for non-production employees.
- Customer Support- Ensured continued access to customer support, technical service and uninterrupted shipping of service parts and finished goods. Production continued to meet customer demand with minimal disruptions to address employee safety precautions.
- Cost and Profitability Initiatives- Instituted aggressive reduction of all controllable and discretionary costs. This included the adjustment of global office and production workforces in response to near-term reduced demand levels and reduced cash compensation to executives. Increased focus on prioritizing product and customers with highest profitability.
- Supply Chain- Established a task force to identify and mitigate supply chain disruption and ensure continuity of business operations and customer support.
- Liquidity and Cash Flow- Reduced capital expenditures for the remainder of year, enhanced working capital initiatives to drive inventory efficiency, deferred near-term acquisition investments and suspended the Middleby share repurchase program. Maintaining investments in key strategic initiatives.
- COVID-19Product Introductions- Developed and launched products addressing COVID-19 needs, including sterilization units for N95 masks, mobile and touchless handwashing stations, plexiglass safety shields for restaurants and retail locations, mobile foodservice stations and hand and cleaning sanitizer produced at our most recent-acquired company Deutsche.

LIQUIDITY COMMENTARY
- Record LTM operating cash flow of $440.6 million as of Q2 2020
- In Q1 2020, Middleby entered into an amended and restated five-year, $3.5 billion multi-currency senior secured credit agreement providing it with additional liquidity and financial flexibility
- Last week Middleby completed a convertible notes sale and amended the senior secured credit agreement
- Issued $747.5 million of five-year convertible notes, with a 1% interest coupon and 33% conversion premium
- Purchased a capped call to effectively increase the conversion price from $128.62 to $207.93 which greatly reduces dilution risk (less than 2% dilution projected at $250 share price)
- Notes proceeds of $400 million were used to pay down outstanding borrowings and the bank credit facility will decrease by the same size
- Total leverage (incurrence) covenant will expand to 5.5x, allowing the company flexibility to continue operational and strategic investments
- At leverage ratios of below 4x, the borrowing cost to the company remains unchanged by the amendment. Borrowing rates increase at higher leverage levels up to LIBOR plus 250 basis points at the highest allowable borrowing levels
- On a pro forma basis, borrowing capacity would have been approximately $1.6 billion as of Q2 2020
• Pro forma secured leverage ratio of 1.94x and total leverage ratio of 3.20x | 5 |

Residential Kitchen
At our residential businesses in both the US and UK markets, the impact of COVID-19 resulted in the widespread temporary closure of our residential dealers' retail sales locations due to shelter-in- place restrictions. Substantial order improvement has occurred as dealer and retail locations have re- opened. Additionally, the increase of working, staying and eating at home has given rise to a demand for both indoor and outdoor residential cooking and refrigeration equipment. Home sales have proven to be resilient, while new home starts in the US in recent weeks are near prior year levels.
