I am pleased to confirm that the closing of the $300,000,000 Senior Secured Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility has been completed today, May 19, 2023. The Credit Agreement dated as of May 4, 2023, among Cascade Retail Holdings Inc. and Cascade Retail Operating Company LLC, as Borrowers, Cascade Digital Commerce Inc., Cascade Outlet Stores LLC, and Cascade Fulfillment Services Inc., as Guarantors, the Lenders party

The initial draw of $150,000,000 under the facility has been funded, and all closing-date wire transfers have been completed in accordance with the Funds Flow Memorandum. The components of the initial draw are as follows:

- **Payoff of Existing ABL Facility:** $112,450,000 — payoff of the existing $175,000,000 revolving ABL facility with Harborview Lending Group, LLC (inclusive of outstanding principal, accrued interest, and fees), wired to Harborview per the Payoff Letter dated May 17, 2023 - **Closing Costs, Fees, and Expenses:** $3,175,000 — inclusive of upfront/arrangement fees, administrative agent fee, legal fees, appraisal and

In addition, the Year 1 Administrative Agent fee of $150,000 has been paid to Crescent Harbor Bank, N.A.

Based on the closing-date Borrowing Base Certificate certified by Priya Anand (Treasurer), the Net Borrowing Base is $326,400,000, calculated as follows:

- Eligible Receivables of $187,000,000 at 85% advance rate = $158,950,000 - Eligible Inventory (NOLV) of $294,000,000 at 65% advance rate = $191,100,000 - Less Availability Reserves of ($23,650,000) - **Net Borrowing Base: $326,400,000**

Available Commitment equals the lesser of (a) Aggregate Commitments ($300,000,000) and (b) the Net Borrowing Base ($326,400,000), resulting in Available Commitment of $300,000,000. After giving effect to the initial draw of $150,000,000, undrawn availability under the facility is **$150,000,000**.
