Risks Related to the Proposed Merger with LCI Industries
The merger may not be completed and the Merger Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms.
On June 30, 2026, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) to combine our business with LCI Industries (“LCI”). The merger is subject to a number of conditions that must be satisfied or waived prior to the closing of the merger, as more fully described in the Merger Agreement. These conditions to the consummation of the merger include: (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by LCI’s stockholders; (ii) the approval by our shareholders of (a) the issuance of shares of our common stock in connection with the merger and (b) an amendment to our articles of incorporation to, among other things, increase the number of our authorized shares of common stock; (iii) the termination or expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (and any timing agreement with the Federal Trade Commission or the Department of Justice, as applicable, shall have terminated or expired); (iv) the receipt of other required regulatory approvals; (v) the absence of any restraint in effect preventing the consummation of the merger; (vi) the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 with respect to such shares of our common stock to be issued in connection with the merger; (vii) the approval for listing on Nasdaq of the shares of our common stock issuable as merger consideration pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement; (viii), the receipt by LCI of a written opinion with respect to the tax-free nature of the merger for LCI’s stockholders; (ix) subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party; (x) performance in all material respects by each party of its respective obligations under the Merger Agreement; and (xi) the absence of certain changes that have had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect with respect to each of the Company and LCI. These conditions to the consummation of the merger may not be satisfied or waived in a timely manner or at all, and, accordingly, the merger may be delayed or may not be completed.
In addition, if the merger is not completed by March 30, 2027 (subject to two three-month extensions in the event that the regulatory closing conditions have not been satisfied), either party may choose not to proceed with the merger by terminating the Merger Agreement, and the parties can mutually decide to terminate the Merger Agreement at any time, before or after shareholder approval by either our shareholders or LCI’s stockholders. In addition, either party may elect to terminate the Merger Agreement in certain other circumstances.
No assurance can be given that the required shareholder approvals and regulatory clearance will be obtained or that the other required conditions to closing will be satisfied, and, if all required approvals and regulatory clearance are obtained and the required conditions are satisfied, no assurance can be given as to the terms, conditions and timing of such approvals and clearance, including whether any required conditions will materially adversely affect the combined company following the merger. Any delay in completing the merger could cause the combined company not to realize, or to be delayed in realizing, some or all of the benefits that we and LCI expect to achieve if the merger is successfully completed within its expected time frame. We can provide no assurance that these conditions will not result in the

abandonment or delay of the merger. The occurrence of any of these events individually or in combination could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and the trading price of our common stock.
Failure to complete the merger, or a delay in the closing of the merger, could negatively impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and stock price.
The Merger Agreement is subject to a number of conditions that must be fulfilled to complete the merger. Those conditions include, among others, (i) the approval by our shareholders of (a) the issuance of shares of our common stock in connection with the merger and (b) an amendment to our articles of incorporation to, among other things, increase the number of our authorized shares of common stock, (ii) the approval by LCI stockholders of the Merger Agreement, (iii) the termination or expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (and any timing agreement with the Federal Trade Commission or the Department of Justice, as applicable, shall have terminated or expired); and (iv) the receipt of any other regulatory approvals. A number of the conditions are not within our control and may prevent, delay or otherwise materially adversely affect the closing of the merger. We cannot predict with certainty whether and when any of the required closing conditions will be satisfied or if another uncertainty may arise, and neither can we provide assurance that we will be able to timely complete the merger as currently contemplated under the Merger Agreement or at all. Our business, results of operations, financial condition or stock price could be adversely affected, potentially in a material way, by the failure to complete the merger, or by a delay in the closing of the merger, and we may suffer consequences that could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and stock price, including the following:
•we may not realize any or all of the potential benefits of the merger, including any synergies that could result from combining their financial and business resources;
•matters relating to the merger will require substantial commitments of time and resources by our management, which would otherwise have been devoted to day-to-day operations and other opportunities that may have been beneficial to us;
•we have incurred and will incur further substantial expenses in connection with the merger, including financial advisory, legal, accounting, consulting and other advisory fees, severance/retention employee benefit-related costs and regulatory fees and other costs relating to the merger regardless of whether the merger is completed;
•we, LCI, and/or either companies’ boards of directors may be subject to legal proceedings related to the potential delay of, or failure to complete, the merger;
•we may experience disruptions to our business resulting from the announcement and pendency of the merger, including adverse changes in relationships with, or loss of, customers, business partners and employees, which may not be reversible and may continue or even intensify in the event the merger is delayed or not completed;
•we may experience negative reactions to the merger, including if the merger is not completed, from the financial markets, including negative impacts on the market price of our common stock; and
•under the Merger Agreement, we are subject to certain restrictions on the conduct of our business prior to completing the merger, which restrictions could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business as we otherwise would have done if not subject to these restrictions.
In addition to the above risks, we will be required to pay LCI a termination fee equal to $94.2 million in specified circumstances, including if LCI terminates the Merger Agreement following a change of recommendation by our board of directors, and LCI will be required to pay us a termination fee equal to $94.2 million in specified circumstances, including if we terminate the Merger Agreement following a change of recommendation by the LCI board of directors, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement.

The merger and integration of both companies may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than expected, and we may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the merger.
The success of the proposed merger will depend in part on our ability to realize anticipated revenue and cost synergies and on our ability to successfully integrate the businesses. If we are not able to successfully achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits of the merger may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. In addition, our ability to achieve the goals for the proposed merger may be affected by future prospects, execution of business strategies, and our ability to manage the various factors discussed within this report, including within the forward-looking statements. The actual benefits of the proposed merger also could be less than anticipated if, for example, completion of the merger and/or integration of the businesses are more difficult, costly or time-consuming than we expect.
The market price of the combined company's common stock following the closing of the merger may be affected by factors different from those that historically have affected or currently affect our common stock.
Upon completion of the merger, the combined company's financial position may differ from each of our and LCI’s financial positions before the completion of the merger, and the results of operations of the combined company may be affected by factors that are different from those currently affecting the results of operations of each company. Accordingly, the market price and performance of the combined company's common stock is likely to be different from the performance of our common stock prior to the closing of the merger.
We expect to incur significant additional indebtedness in connection with the merger, which indebtedness may limit our operating or financial flexibility relative to our current position and make it difficult to satisfy our obligations with respect to our other indebtedness.
If the merger is completed, we expect to incur debt to finance the repayment of certain existing indebtedness of LCI. Our increased level of debt in connection with the merger could have negative consequences on us and the combined company, including, among other things, (i) requiring us, and the combined company, to dedicate a large portion of cash flow from operations to servicing and repayment of the debt, (ii) reducing funds available for strategic initiatives and opportunities, working capital and other general corporate needs, (iii) limiting our, and the combined company’s, ability to incur additional indebtedness, which could restrict its flexibility to react to changes in its business, its industry and economic conditions and (iv) placing us, and the combined company, at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt. In addition, LCI’s outstanding $460.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.00% convertible notes due 2030 are expected to remain outstanding following the closing but will become convertible into shares of Patrick common stock, and the terms of the related call options and warrants will need to be amended or adjusted with the consent of the relevant counterparties, which consent may not be obtained on favorable terms or at all. Failure to obtain such consents could result in economic inefficiencies in the combined company’s capital structure or require the expenditure of additional resources to resolve such issues, which could adversely affect the combined company’s results of operations or financial condition.
