Key Facts to Verify

  • Verify the amount drawn, remaining availability, letters of credit, and any outstanding debt under the amended facility.
  • Assess the effect of SOFR-based pricing and the leverage-based margin on future interest expense.
  • Compare actual total net leverage with the amended 7.0x covenant and review the company’s acquisition plans funded by the facility.
