| ITEM 1.01 | ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT | ||||
On December 31, 2025 ("Closing Date"), Swift Receivables Company II, LLC ("SRCII"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc. (the "Company"), entered into the Receivables Purchase Agreement (the "2025 RPA"). The 2025 RPA replaced the Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated June 14, 2013, and last amended by the Eighth Amendment on October 1, 2025 (the "A&R RPA"). Replacing the A&R RPA, which was treated as a financing secured by receivables, with the 2025 RPA, which is treated as a sale of receivables, is expected to reduce expenses of the Company.
The parties to the 2025 RPA are SRCII as the seller, Swift Transportation Services, LLC as the servicer, the various purchasers, the various purchaser agents, and PNC Bank, National Association as administrator. Under a separate agreement between the Company’s receivable originator subsidiaries and SRCII, the Company's receivable originator subsidiaries sell without recourse, all of their rights, title, and interest in receivables to SRCII on a revolving basis. In turn, SRCII sells its rights, title and interest in selected eligible receivables to the various purchasers for cash consideration under the 2025 RPA.
The 2025 RPA includes a $575.0 million facility limit for eligible receivables and is subject to fees customary for facilities of this type, as well as various affirmative and negative covenants, representations and warranties, and default and termination provisions customary for facilities of this type. Collections on the underlying receivables by the Company are held for the benefit of SRCII and the various purchasers and are unavailable to satisfy claims of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The foregoing description of the 2025 RPA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2025 RPA, which will be filed with the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
| ITEM 1.02 | TERMINATION OF A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT | ||||
Concurrently with entering into the 2025 RPA on the Closing Date, the Company used the proceeds from the 2025 RPA to pay off the remaining outstanding borrowings, including accrued interest and fees, and terminated the A&R RPA.
| ITEM 2.03 | CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF A REGISTRANT | ||||
The information set forth in Item 1.01 is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
| ITEM 8.01 | OTHER EVENTS | ||||
