Item ☐1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

~~Item 2~~On July 21, 2025, Progress Software Corporation (“Progress”) entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with each of the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.02A., ~~Results~~as Administrative Agent, Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Syndication Agents, Bank of ~~Operations~~America, N.A., PNC Bank, National Association, TD Bank, N.A., Citizens Bank N.A. and ~~Financial~~First-Citizens ~~Condition~~Bank & Trust Company, as Documentation Agents, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as Joint Bookrunners and Joint Lead Arrangers, and BofA Securities, Inc., PNC Bank, National Association and TD Bank, N.A., as Joint Lead Arrangers, providing for a $1,500.0 million secured revolving credit facility, which may be made available in U.S. Dollars and certain other currencies. The revolving credit facility may be increased, and new term loan commitments may be entered into, by up to an additional amount up to the sum of (A) the greater of (x) $361.0 million and (y) 100% of LTM EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (B) an unlimited additional amount so long as the Company would be in compliance with certain leverage levels as set forth in the Credit Agreement if the existing or additional lenders are willing to make such increased commitments. This new credit facility replaces Progress’s existing secured credit facility under that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated March 7, 2024, by and among Progress, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the lenders party thereto.

OnThe ~~June 30,~~revolving ~~2025,~~credit ~~Progress~~facility ~~Software~~has ~~Corporation~~sublimits ~~("Progress")~~for ~~issued~~swing line aloans ~~press~~up ~~release~~to ~~announcing~~$25.0 ~~its~~million ~~financial~~and ~~results~~ for the ~~fiscal~~issuance ~~second~~of ~~quarter~~standby ~~ended~~letters ~~May 31,~~of ~~2025.~~credit Ain ~~copy~~a offace ~~the~~amount ~~press~~up ~~release~~to is$25.0 ~~attached~~million.

~~The~~Interest ~~information~~rates ~~furnished~~for ~~pursuant~~the revolving credit facility are determined by reference to ~~this~~a ~~Item~~Term ~~2.02~~Benchmark Rate (which refers to whether a such loan bears interest at a rate determined by reference to Term SOFR, ~~including~~EURIBO, ~~Exhibit~~TIBO ~~99.1~~or the AUD Rate , ~~shall~~the ~~not~~“Term beBenchmark ~~deemed~~Rate”) ~~"filed"~~or ~~for~~a ~~purposes~~base ofrate ~~Section~~at 18the option of ~~the~~Progress ~~Securities~~and would ~~Exchange~~range ~~Act~~from of1.250% ~~1934,~~to as2.500% ~~amended~~above (the ~~"Exchange~~Term ~~Act"),~~Benchmark Rate for Term Benchmark-based borrowings or ~~otherwise~~would ~~subject~~range from 0.250% to 1.500% above the ~~liability~~defined ofbase ~~that~~rate ~~Section~~for base rate borrowings, ~~and~~in ~~shall~~each ~~not~~case bebased ~~incorporated~~upon byProgress’s ~~reference~~consolidated ~~into~~total ~~any~~net ~~other~~leverage ~~filing~~ratio. Additionally, byProgress may borrow certain foreign currencies at rates set in the same range above the respective Term Benchmark Rates for those currencies, based on Progress’s ~~under~~consolidated total net leverage ratio. Progress will incur a quarterly commitment fee on the ~~Securities~~undrawn ~~Act~~portion of ~~1933~~the revolving credit facility, asranging ~~amended~~from ~~(the~~0.150% ~~"Securities~~to ~~Act")~~0.350% per annum, orbased upon Progress’s consolidated total net leverage ratio. At closing of the ~~Exchange~~revolving ~~Act~~credit facility, ~~except~~the asapplicable ~~shall~~interest berate ~~expressly~~and ~~set~~commitment ~~forth~~fee byare ~~specific~~set ~~reference~~at inpricing level ~~such~~4 ain ~~filing~~each range.

The credit facility matures on the date that is the earlier of (i) July 21, 2030 or (ii) a springing maturity date as set forth on the Credit Agreement (the “Maturity Date”), when all amounts outstanding will be due and payable in full. The revolving credit facility does not require amortization of principal. Revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed until the Maturity Date, at which time all amounts outstanding must be repaid. Accrued interest on the loans is payable quarterly in arrears with respect to base rate loans and at the end of each interest rate period (or at each three month interval in the case of loans with interest periods greater than three months) with respect to Term Benchmark Rate loans. Progress may prepay the loans or terminate or reduce the commitments in whole or in part at any time, without premium or penalty, subject to certain conditions and reimbursement of certain costs in the case of Term Benchmark Rate loans.

Progress is the sole borrower under the credit facility. Progress’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each of Progress’s material domestic subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all the assets of Progress and such material domestic subsidiaries, in each case, subject to certain exceptions as described in the Credit Agreement. Future material domestic subsidiaries of Progress will be required to guaranty Progress’s obligations under the Credit Agreement, and to grant security interests in substantially all their assets to secure such obligations, in each case, subject to certain exceptions as described in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement generally prohibits, with certain exceptions, any other liens on the assets of Progress and its subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions as described in the Credit Agreement.

In addition, the Credit Agreement permits certain swap obligations and banking services obligations (including treasury management services) to be guaranteed and secured on the same basis as the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict Progress and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, grant liens, make investments, make acquisitions, incur indebtedness, merge or consolidate, dispose of assets, pay dividends or make distributions, repurchase stock, change the nature of its business, enter into certain transactions with affiliates and enter into burdensome agreements, in each case subject to customary exceptions for a credit facility of this size and type. Progress is also required to maintain compliance with a consolidated interest charge coverage ratio and a consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio.

The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default that include, among other things, non-payment defaults, covenant defaults, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, cross default to material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults, material judgment defaults, ERISA defaults and a change of control default. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the acceleration of the obligations under the Credit Agreement. Under certain circumstances, a default interest rate will apply on all unpaid and overdue amounts (including principal, interest and fees) under the Credit Agreement at a per annum rate equal to 2.00% above the applicable interest rate or 2.00% above the defined base rate.

A copy of the Credit Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated by reference herein. The above descriptions of the new credit facility and the Credit Agreement are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement.
