Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 1, 2025, KUEHG Corp. (“KUEHG”), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of KinderCare Learning Companies, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an amendment (the “Repricing Amendment”) to its credit agreement, dated as of June 12, 2023, as amended from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”), to reprice (i) its first lien term loans (the “First Lien Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) its revolving credit facility (the “First Lien Revolving Credit Facility”). As of the effective date of the Repricing Amendment, the First Lien Term Loan Facility bears interest at a variable rate equal to Term SOFR plus 2.75% per annum. Additionally, as of the effective date of the Repricing Amendment, amounts drawn under the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at Term SOFR plus an applicable rate between 2.00% and 2.50% per annum, and fees on the outstanding balance of letters of credit bear interest at an applicable rate between 2.00% and 2.50% per annum, based on a pricing grid in which the levels are set based on the Company’s first lien net leverage ratio. The Repricing Amendment also resets the soft call protection of 1.00% for certain repricing transactions applicable to the repriced First Lien Term Loan Facility for six months after the effective date of the Repricing Amendment. All other terms under the Credit Agreement remained unchanged.
