Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The primary material change is the restructuring of the Company's debt facilities. The Company increased its available revolving credit capacity and refinanced a specific tranche of term loans due in 2024, extending the maturity of the new incremental term loans to 2028. Additionally, the benchmark reference rate for the facility was transitioned from LIBOR to Term SOFR.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
The Amended Credit Agreement retains customary representations, warranties, covenants, and events of default. The debt remains secured by the assets of the Borrower and Guarantors. Amounts outstanding may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default. BofA Securities, Inc. acted as the sole lead arranger and bookrunner for the amendment.
