Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On October 6, 2021, Wabash National Corporation (the "Company") closed its previously announced offering of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of its 4.50% unsecured senior notes due 2028 (the "Notes"). The sale of the Notes resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $394.9 million, after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses. The Company previously announced an amendment to its existing revolving credit facility increasing the facility size by $50 million to $225 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Notes offering and a portion of the increased capacity under the revolving credit facility to fund the redemption in full of its outstanding 5.50% Senior Notes due 2025, to repay in full the outstanding borrowings under its term loan credit Agreement and to pay all related fees and expenses.

The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of October 6, 2021, by and among the Company, certain subsidiary guarantors named therein (the "Guarantors") and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the "Indenture"). The Notes will bear interest at the rate of 4.50% and will pay interest semi-annually in cash in arrears on each April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2022. The Notes will mature on October 15, 2028. At any time prior to October 15, 2024, the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes for cash at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus an applicable make-whole premium set forth in the Indenture and accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date.

Prior to October 15, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the Notes at a redemption price of 104.500% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date, with the proceeds of certain equity offerings so long as if, after any such redemption occurs, at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes remains outstanding. On and after October 15, 2024, the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) equal to 102.250% for the twelve-month period beginning on October 15, 2024, 101.125% for the twelve-month period beginning October 15, 2025 and 100.000% beginning on October 15, 2026, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), unless the Company has exercised its optional redemption right in respect of the Notes, the holders of the Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of repurchase.

The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all direct and indirect existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain restrictions. The Notes and related guarantees will be the Company and the Guarantors' general unsecured senior obligations and will be subordinated to all of the Company and the Guarantors' existing and future secured debt to the extent of the assets securing that secured obligation. In addition, the Notes will be structurally subordinated to any existing and future debt of any of the Company's subsidiaries that are not Guarantors, to the extent of the assets of those subsidiaries.

The Indenture restricts the Company's ability and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends or make other distributions in respect of, or repurchase or redeem, its capital stock or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits; (iii) make loans and certain investments; (iv) sell assets; (v) create or incur liens; (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates; and (vii) consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.

During any time when the Notes are rated investment grade by at least two of Moody's, Fitch and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and no Default (as defined in the Indenture) has occurred and is continuing, many of such covenants will be suspended and the Company and its subsidiaries will cease to be subject to such covenants during such period.

The Indenture contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of covenants, failure to pay certain judgments and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, may be declared immediately due and payable. These amounts automatically become due and payable if an event of default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occurs.

Copies of the Indenture and of the form of Notes are filed as Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 4.2, respectively, to this Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. The description of the Indenture and the Notes in this Form 8-K is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Indenture and the Notes.
