RECITALS:

WHEREAS, reference is hereby made to (a) the Credit Agreement, dated as of July 7, 2017, among the Borrowers, Holdings, Parent, the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “Lenders”), the Administrative Agent and the other parties thereto (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”, and the Credit Agreement as amended by this Agreement, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) and (b) the Amended and Restated Commitment Letter, dated as of May 11, 2024 (the “Incremental Commitment Letter”), among the Administrative Borrower, Barclays Bank PLC, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Bank of Montreal, BMO Capital Markets Corp. and Goldman Sachs Bank USA; capitalized terms used (including in the preamble and recitals hereto) but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement or the Incremental Commitment Letter, as applicable;

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement by and among the Administrative Borrower, Only What You Need, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Target”), and the seller identified therein, dated as of April 29, 2024 (together with the schedules and exhibits thereto, the “OWYN Acquisition Agreement”), the Administrative Borrower will, directly or indirectly, acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of the Target (the “OWYN Acquisition”) in all material respects in accordance with the terms thereof;

WHEREAS, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.20 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrowers may establish an Incremental Term Facility by, among other things, entering into one or more Incremental Facility Amendments with Additional Term Lenders or existing Lenders;

WHEREAS, the 2024 Incremental Term Loan Lenders and the Borrowers wish to establish an Incremental Term Facility (the loans thereunder, the “2024 Incremental Term Loans”) on the terms set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, proceeds of the 2024 Incremental Term Loans received by the Borrowers will be used to fund, among other things, (i) the payment of consideration pursuant to the terms and conditions of the OWYN Acquisition Agreement, and any other payments contemplated by the OWYN Acquisition Agreement, (ii) the repayment in full (or the termination, discharge or defeasance (or arrangements for the termination, discharge or defeasance)) of all outstanding indebtedness of the Target under that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of March 29, 2023, by and among Target, Safe Brands, LLC, the other guarantors party thereto and Raven Asset-Based Credit (Onshore) Fund II LP as such agreement has been amended, supplemented or otherwise modified through April 29, 2024 (the “OWYN Closing Refinancing”), (iii)

fees, premiums and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing and transactions related thereto (such fees and expenses, the “OWYN Transaction Costs”), and (iv) working capital and general corporate purposes, including maintaining cash on the balance sheet of Holdings and its subsidiaries; and

WHEREAS, immediately after giving effect to the making of the 2024 Incremental Term Loans hereunder, Holdings, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party hereto (which shall constitute the Required Lenders under the Credit Agreement) desire to make further changes to the Credit Agreement pursuant to Section 9.02(b) thereof, including to add a prepayment premium for the prepayment of Initial Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to the date hereof (the “Existing Term Loans”) in connection with any Repricing Transaction;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Each 2024 Incremental Term Loan Lender (i) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the exhibits thereto, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 5.01 of the Credit Agreement and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement; (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender, Arranger or Agent, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Amended Credit Agreement; (iii) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (iv) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender. This Agreement shall constitute (i) the notice required to be delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.20(a) of the Credit Agreement and (ii) an “Incremental Facility Amendment” for purposes of Section 2.20(d) of the Credit Agreement.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in the Credit Agreement, after giving effect to the amendments set forth herein, the terms of the 2024 Incremental Term Loans (including without limitation the Applicable Rate, the principal payment terms applicable thereto and the maturity date thereof) shall be the same as the terms of the Existing Term Loans, such 2024 Incremental Term Loans shall be deemed to be “Initial Term Loans” and the obligations in respect thereof shall constitute the Loan Document Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, the Amended Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document and shall constitute one tranche with, and be the same Class as, the Initial Term Loans. Following the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date (as defined below) and the funding of the 2024 Incremental Term Loans (the “2024 Incremental Term Loan Funding Date”), each reference to “Initial Term Loans” and “Term Loans” shall include the 2024 Incremental Term Loans and each reference to “Lender” shall include the 2024 Incremental Term Loan Lenders hereunder, in each case, unless the context shall require otherwise. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, with the consent of the Administrative Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld), the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all amounts of such 2024 Incremental Term Loans, when originally made, are Initial Term Loans for all purposes under the Loan Documents and are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Initial Term Loans on a pro rata basis. This may be accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent by allocating a portion of each such 2024 Incremental Term Loans to each outstanding SOFR Loan that is a Term Loan of the same Class on a pro rata basis, even though as a result thereof such 2024 Incremental Term Loans may effectively have a shorter Interest Period than the Term Loans included in the Borrowing of which they are a part (and notwithstanding any other provision

of the Credit Agreement that would prohibit such an initial Interest Period). The 2024 Incremental Term Loans shall not accrue interest for any period prior to the 2024 Incremental Term Loan Funding Date and the Borrower shall not be required to pay interest on the 2024 Incremental Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Credit Agreement for any period prior to the 2024 Incremental Term Loan Funding Date.

Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, each 2024 Incremental Term Loan Lender hereby agrees to make 2024 Incremental Term Loans as its portion of the Incremental Term Facility as set forth on Schedule A annexed hereto to the Borrowers on the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date on the following terms and conditions:

(ii)

		laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

	(vii)	Holdings and the Borrowers shall have satisfied the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and, substantially simultaneously with the consummation of the OWYN Acquisition the Loan Guarantors shall have satisfied the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement; provided that if, notwithstanding the use by Holdings and the Borrowers of commercially reasonable efforts or without undue burden or expense to cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be satisfied on the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date, the requirements thereof are not satisfied as of the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date, the satisfaction of such requirements shall not be a condition to the availability of the 2024 Incremental Term Loans on the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date (but shall be required to be satisfied as promptly as practicable after the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date and in any event within the period specified therefor in Schedule B attached hereto or such later date as the Administrative Agent may otherwise reasonably agree).

Exhibit 99.1

The Simply Good Foods Company Completes Acquisition of Only What You Need (OWYN)

Denver, CO, June 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Simply Good Foods Company (Nasdaq: SMPL) (“Simply Good Foods,” or the “Company”), a developer, marketer and seller of branded nutritional foods and snacking products, today announced it has completed the acquisition of Only What You Need (“OWYN”), a leading plant-based ready-to-drink (“RTD”) protein shake brand, which was previously announced on April 29, 2024.

OWYN is the fastest growing¹ RTD protein shake brand in the market and enhances Simply Good Foods’ portfolio with further diversification and provides the Company with a greater presence within the RTD protein shake portion of the nutritious snacking category. The addition of OWYN builds on Simply Good Foods’ leadership position within the nutritional snacking category.

“The acquisition of OWYN represents a significant strategic win for Simply Good Foods. It introduces a third complementary brand and opens the door to a new consumer segment, significantly strengthening our position in the rapidly expanding RTD shake market and solidifying our leading position with retail partners,” remarked Geoff Tanner, President and CEO of Simply Good Foods. "We are confident our market strategies will drive profitable growth through enhanced distribution, greater household penetration and a cost-efficient supply chain. We also plan to lean on the expertise of our combined R&D teams to improve fundamental product performance and explore new areas for innovation. OWYN has shown exceptional net sales growth in the nutritional snacking category in recent years, and we believe that will continue.”

“We continue to expect that in calendar year 2024 OWYN will achieve net sales of approximately $120² million. We are building on our strong relationships with major customers in both traditional and natural markets and have a thriving, profitable and expanding eCommerce business," said Mark Olivieri, Senior Vice President and General Manager OWYN. “I look forward to continuing to lead the OWYN team as we look to grow the brand.”

Simply Good Foods funded the purchase price of $280 million, subject to certain customary post-closing purchase price adjustments and before transaction related fees, through a combination of cash on its balance sheet and incremental borrowings under its outstanding credit facility. The incremental $250 million term loan and the outstanding $240 million term loan balance will have an interest rate of SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment equal to 0.10% for one-month SOFR, 0.15% for up to three-month SOFR and 0.25% for up to six-month SOFR, subject to a floor of 0.50%, plus 2.50% margin. The incremental portion of the term loan was priced to lenders at par. The Company expects to pay down a portion of the $490 million in total term loan debt during the balance of fiscal year 2024 and is targeting a net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio of around 1.25x by fiscal year-end August 2024.

Simply Good Foods base business, excluding OWYN, is tracking to the full fiscal year 2024 outlook provided on April 4, 2024. The Company will update its full fiscal year 2024 outlook, inclusive of the acquisition, when it issues its third quarter earnings report on June 27, 2024.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes the use of certain measures that have not been calculated in accordance with U.S. generally acceptable accounting principles (GAAP), including Adjusted EBITDA and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. The Company has not provided reconciliations for forward-looking non-GAAP measures because the Company cannot do so without unreasonable effort and any attempt to do so would be inherently imprecise because of the unknown effect, timing, and potential significance of reconciling line items that are unavailable at this time.

Use of Projections

This press release contains projections, including expected net sales, Adjusted EBITDA and net leverage ratio. Our independent auditors have not audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this press release, and accordingly, have not expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this press release. These projections are for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as being indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projected information. Even if our assumptions and estimates are correct, projections are inherently uncertain due to a number of factors outside our control. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the projected results are indicative of our future performance post-acquisition or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the projected information. Inclusion of the projected information in this press release should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the projected information will be achieved.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures commonly used in our industry and should not be construed as alternatives to net income as an indicator of operating performance or as alternatives to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity (each as determined in accordance with GAAP). Simply Good Foods defines EBITDA as net income or loss before interest income, interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA as further adjusted to exclude the following items: stock-based compensation expense, executive transition costs and other non-core expenses. The Company believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, when used in conjunction with net income, are useful to provide additional information to investors. Management of the Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to supplement net income because these measures reflect operating results of the on-going operations, eliminate items that are not directly attributable to the Company’s underlying operating performance, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to the key metrics the Company’s management uses in its financial and operational decision making. The Company also believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in its industry. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in the non-GAAP calculation. The Company does not provide a forward-looking reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, expected for 2024, because we are unable to provide such a reconciliation without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of reliable estimates for certain components of consolidated net income and the respective reconciliations, and the inherent difficulty of predicting what the changes in these components will be throughout the fiscal year. As these items may vary greatly between periods, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could significantly affect our future financial results.

The Company does not provide a forward-looking reconciliation of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA to Net Debt to Net Income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, expected for 2024, because we are unable to provide such a reconciliation without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of reliable estimates for certain components of consolidated net income and the respective reconciliations, and the inherent difficulty of predicting what the changes in these components will be throughout the fiscal year.
