**ITEM 1.02 — TERMINATION OF A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT**

On May 18, 2026, ArcBest Corporation (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary, ArcBest Funding LLC (the "Borrower"), terminated the Third Amended and Restated Receivables Loan Agreement, dated as of June 9, 2021, as amended December 2, 2021, May 13, 2022, June 12, 2024, and June 12, 2025 (the "Loan Agreement"), by and among the Borrower, Toronto-Dominion Bank ("TD Bank"), and the other lender and facility agent parties thereto.

Under the Loan Agreement, TD Bank issued letters of credit on a revolving basis from time to time until the Facility Termination Date (as defined in the Loan Agreement), primarily in support of workers' compensation and third-party casualty claims liabilities in various states in which the Company is self-insured. Following termination of the Loan Agreement, letters of credit will instead be issued pursuant to the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated November 25, 2025, by and among the Company and the lenders and agents party thereto.

The Loan Agreement provided for a maximum committed funding amount to $50 million, with an accordion feature providing for up to an additional $100 million in committed funding amounts. Borrowings under the Loan Agreement were secured primarily by a lien on, and security interest in, the Borrower's related accounts receivable, which were sold from time to time by certain subsidiaries of the Company to the Borrower. As of April 29, 2026, there were no outstanding letters of credit or amounts drawn under the Loan Agreement, and the Company paid no early termination penalties.

**SIGNATURES**

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
