As a result of the transaction, funded debt will be reduced by nearly 90% from approximately $982 million (inclusive of the preferred stock) to approximately $125 million. By addressing the over-leveraged balance sheet, this transaction will eliminate a major distraction and allow Superior to refocus on delivering high quality, cost-competitive wheels to all of its customers. “This transaction represents a pivotal milestone for Superior. Our term loan investors are reaffirming their confidence in the business and stepping in to provide the necessary financial foundation to support our long-term success,” said Majdi Abulaban, President and Chief Executive Officer. “With the broadest portfolio in the industry, a strategically advantaged footprint, and a newly minted best-in-classbalance sheet, we are well positioned to capitalize on growth opportunities with both existing and new OEM customers. More than ever, we are seeing unprecedented levels of RFQs as customers seek to de-risklong supply chains and respond to evolving tariff dynamics.” “Despite recent headwinds with certain of its customers, the demand for high-quality, cost-competitive, in-regionmanufacturing capacity is greater than ever, and we are excited to support the Superior leadership team in this next phase,” said Robert LaRoche, Managing Director at Oaktree Capital Management.

The transactions are expected to close in the third quarter of 2025 and are subject to customary closing
conditions and receipt of required regulatory approvals. Following the closing, the Company will become privately held.
