Material Changes
The primary material change is the reduction in ownership concentration among major institutional investors (Blackstone and Viking) due to the secondary offering.

Investor Verification Checklist

- Confirm the removal of the 5.5% Series B Preferred Stock from the company's capital structure and the impact on the weighted average shares outstanding.
- Review the 90-day lock-up expiration date to anticipate potential future selling pressure from insiders and remaining institutional holders.
- Check subsequent filings for any changes in the company's credit agreement, as underwriter affiliates are noted as agents/lenders.
