Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement On January 5, 2023, we and certain other subsidiaries of ours entered into a new credit agreement (the "Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement") which consists of (i) an unsecured revolving credit facility of up to a U.S. Dollar equivalent of $2.0 billion, which includes a $150 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $150 million sublimit for swing line loans and (ii) an unsecured term loan facility of up to $500 million. Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (i.e. "SOFR") plus the applicable spread or other risk-free interest rates that are applicable for the specified currency plus a spread based on the Company's debt rating and total leverage ratio. On June 5, 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement which replaced the Canadian Dollar Offer Rate ("CDOR") with the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average ("CORRA") for CAD denominated borrowings. The maturity date of the term loan is January 5, 2026 and may be extended by one additional year subject to agreement by the lenders. The term loan has no required amortization payments prior to its maturity date. The maturity date for the revolving credit facility is January 5, 2028, and may be extended by up to two additional years in one year increments. The Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement contains customary covenants for an unsecured credit facility for a company that has debt ratings that are investment grade, such as, requirements to comply with a total leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio, each calculated in accordance with the terms of the Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, and limits on the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur liens and indebtedness. Proceeds from the Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement were used to repay the outstanding principal amount under our prior Senior Secured Credit Agreement ("Prior Credit Agreement"), to pay fees and expenses related to the Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, and for other general corporate purposes. Senior Unsecured Term Loan Credit Agreement For the permanent financing related to the Uni-Select Acquisition, on March 27, 2023, we entered into the Senior Unsecured Term Loan Agreement ("CAD Note") which established an unsecured term loan facility of up to CAD 700 million maturing in July 2026. The CAD Note was funded on July 31, 2023, which was one business day prior to the consummation of the Uni-Select Acquisition. The CAD Note contains customary covenants for an unsecured term loan for a company that has debt ratings that are investment grade, such as requirements to comply with a total leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio, each calculated in accordance with the terms of the CAD Note, and limits on the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur liens and indebtedness. On June 12, 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the CAD Note which replaced CDOR with CORRA. The variable interest rate applicable to the CAD Note may be (i) a forward-looking term rate based on CORRA for an interest period chosen by the Company of one or three months or (ii) the Canadian Prime Rate (as defined in the CAD Note), plus in each case a spread based on the Company’s debt rating and total leverage ratio. U.S. Notes (2028/2033) On May 24, 2023, as part of the financing for the Uni-Select Acquisition, we completed an offering of $1,400 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes, consisting of $800 million senior notes due 2028 (the "U.S. Notes (2028)") and $600 million senior notes due 2033 (the "U.S. Notes (2033)" and together with the U.S. Notes (2028), the "U.S. Notes (2028/33)") in a private placement conducted pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933. The U.S. Notes (2028/33) are governed by the Indenture, dated as of May 24, 2023 (the "Indenture"), among the Company, certain of the Company's subsidiaries (the "Guarantors") and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The U.S. Notes (2028/33) will be initially fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that are guarantors under our Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, dated as of January 5, 2023, or the CAD Note and each of our domestic subsidiaries that in the future agrees to guarantee obligations under the Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, the CAD Note, any other Credit Facility Debt or any Capital Markets Debt (as such terms are defined in the Indenture). Each subsidiary guarantee will rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future liabilities of the applicable subsidiary guarantor that are not subordinated. Each subsidiary guarantee will effectively rank junior to any secured indebtedness of its respective subsidiary guarantor to the extent of the lesser of the amount of such secured indebtedness and the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. Under the terms of any subsidiary guarantee, holders of the U.S. Notes (2028/33) will not be required to exercise their remedies against us before they proceed directly against the subsidiary guarantors. Prior to May 15, 2028 in the case of the U.S. Notes (2028) or March 15, 2033 in the case of the U.S. Notes (2033) (each such date a "Par Call Date"), we may redeem the U.S. Notes (2028) or U.S. Notes (2033), as applicable, at our option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming, in each case, that such U.S. Notes (2028/33) matured on their applicable Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 40 basis points in the case of the U.S. Notes (2028) or 45 basis points in the case of the U.S. Notes (2033), less interest accrued to the date of redemption; and (ii) 100% of the principal amount of the U.S. Notes (2028/33) to be redeemed; plus in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding the redemption date. On or after the applicable Par Call Date we may redeem the U.S. Notes (2028/33) of the applicable series, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the U.S. Notes (2028/33) being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date. In connection with the sale of the U.S. Notes (2028/33), we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of May 24, 2023 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), with the Guarantors and BofA Securities, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the initial purchasers of the U.S. Notes (2028/33) identified therein. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, on September 1, 2023, the Company and the Guarantors filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 ("Form S-4") with respect to a registered offer to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") each series of U.S. Notes (2028/33) and related guarantees for new notes of such series (the "Exchange Notes") and new related guarantees, which has terms substantially identical in all material respects to the applicable series of U.S. Notes (2028/33) (except that the Exchange Notes do not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions and Additional Interest). The SEC declared the Form S-4 effective on September 14, 2023. The Exchange Offer closed in the fourth quarter of 2023. The U.S. Notes (2028) and U.S. Notes (2033) bear interest at rates of 5.75% and 6.25%, respectively, per year from the date of original issuance or from the most recent payment date on which interest has been paid or provided for. Interest on the U.S. Notes (2028/33) is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2023.

("LKQ Italia"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of LKQ Corporation, completed an offering of €500 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due April 1, 2024 (the "Euro Notes (2024)") in a private placement conducted pursuant to Regulation S and Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. The proceeds from the offering were used to repay a portion of the revolver borrowings under the Prior Credit Agreement and to pay related fees and expenses.

In April 2024, the Euro Notes (2031) were approved for listing and registration on the Nasdaq. Related to the offering and sale of the Euro Notes (2031) in March 2024, we incurred $7 million of fees, which were capitalized as an offset to Long-Term Obligations and are amortized over the term of the Euro Notes (2031).
