Financing and key financial terms

  • Revolving facility: Initial aggregate commitment of $200 million, with the potential for up to an additional $100 million of uncommitted commitments.
  • Drawn status: The facility was undrawn as of June 30, 2022.

  • Commitment fee: 0.375% on unused commitments, based on current debt ratings.
  • Maturity: Five years after June 30, 2022, subject to an earlier maturity of May 16, 2025 if the company’s 6.500% senior notes due August 15, 2025 are not extended, refinanced, replaced, discharged, defeased, or repaid under the conditions specified in the agreement.
  • Security and guarantees: The facility is unsecured, and no subsidiaries guaranteed it as of the closing date.

Material changes versus the prior comparable period

The filing announces the creation of a new $200 million revolving credit facility. It does not provide prior-period revenue, earnings, cash flow, margin, debt, or liquidity comparisons.

Covenants, outlook, risks, and unusual items

  • The agreement restricts, subject to exceptions, additional indebtedness, dividends and other distributions, investments, liens, affiliate transactions, mergers or consolidations, and asset transfers.

  • Failure to comply or other events of default could permit the administrative agent to accelerate repayment of amounts outstanding.
  • The facility’s potential May 16, 2025 maturity creates a refinancing or repayment risk relating to the 2025 Notes.
