Key Financial Metrics and Debt Structure
The filing outlines a new capital structure established on May 17, 2021, replacing prior debt instruments. Key terms include:

The filing does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, or operating margins for the reporting period.
Material Changes
The primary material change is the refinancing of the company's debt portfolio. The company exited its previous high-cost debt structure (including 12.0% Senior Secured Notes) and extended the maturity of its term debt to 2028. The new agreement introduces specific covenants restricting additional indebtedness, liens, asset sales, and restricted payments such as share repurchases and dividends.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
The Restated Credit Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, and events of default. The debt is secured by security interests in the assets of the Borrowers and certain subsidiaries. The agreement allows for incremental increases in term facilities or the revolving credit facility subject to an "Incremental Cap" and the absence of a default. No specific forward-looking guidance regarding revenue or earnings was provided in this filing.
