Defaults Upon Senior Securities.\n\nSPP Credit Advisors LLC and Rick Arrowsmith v. Atlantic International Corp et al. In the Court of Chancery of The State of Delaware (Case No. 2026-0448-JTL)\n\nAs previously reported in our Form 10-K for December 31, 2025, on April 2, 2026, Rick Arrowsmith, on behalf of SPP, and in response to the Company’s and its Lyneer Subsidiaries’ commencement on the same day of a lawsuit against SPP, commenced a lawsuit in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Company, its’ officers and former officers, based on the unfounded alleged events of default, the plaintiff, appointed by SPP to take managerial control of the Lyneer subsidiaries. The plaintiff is seeking declaratory relief that he was able to remove all officers of the Company and is entitled to declaratory, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to take control of the Company.\n\nOn April 27, 2026, the Court entered a Status Quo Order (the “Order”).

The Order requires Lyneer to operate in the ordinary course of business (as defined) and to provide Mr. Arrowsmith with certain current financial statements as reasonably requested.\n\nSPP Lyneer Term Note Default Notice\n\nOn March 30, 2026, SPP notified Atlantic and Lyneer that certain events of default have occurred and are continuing under the Financing Agreement. SPP asserted that the events of default related to our failure to satisfy certain financial and non-financial covenants under the Financing Agreement of the Term Note By letter dated April 30, 2026, SPP notified Atlantic and Lyneer that certain additional Events of Default had occurred, specifically as a result of (i) various Events of Default set forth in a statement from SLR to Lyneer Staffing dated April 17, 2026 (the “SLR Default”) as described below, and (ii) Certain payments made to or for the benefit of Atlantic.\n\nSPP has attempted to exercise its pledge and has sought to try to replace the management of Lyneer.
