Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 10, 2024, Trex Company, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Second Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) by and among the Company, as borrower, the guarantors party thereto; Bank of America, N.A. (“BOA”), as a Lender, Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer; TD Bank, N.A. as a Lender and Syndication Agent; and PNC Bank, National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (each, a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”), arranged by BofA Securities, Inc. as Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner, amending that Credit Agreement dated as of May 18, 2022, as amended by that certain First Amendment dated as of December 22, 2022 (collectively, the “Credit Agreement”).

The Credit Agreement provides the Company with Revolving A Loans in the maximum principal amount of $400,000,000 (“Revolving A Loans”), Revolving B Loans in the maximum principal amount of $150,000,000 (“Revolving B Loans”), and Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement extends the maturity date of the Revolving B Loans from December 22, 2024 to December 22, 2026.

Base Rate Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under the Revolving A Loan and the Swing Line Loans accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and Term SOFR Loans for the Revolving Loans accrue interest at the rate per annum equal to the sum of Term SOFR for such interest period plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Base Rate for any day is a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by BOA as its prime rate, and (c) the Term SOFR plus 1.0% subject to certain interest rate floors. Repayment of all then outstanding principal, interest, fees and costs is due at the end of the Term (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

With respect to Revolving B Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement), for any day, the rate per annum is a tiered pricing based upon the Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio. The applicable rate for Revolving B Loans that are Base Rate Loans range between 0.20% and 1.15%. and the applicable rate for Revolving B Loans that are Term SOFR/Term SOFR Daily Floating Rate range between 1.20% and 2.15%

The Second Amendment is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing summary of the terms of this document is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, such document, which is incorporated herein by reference.
