Material Changes and Proposed Transactions

The report contains forward-looking statements qualified by risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Confirm whether the $800 million New Senior Term Loan and the $750 million senior unsecured debt are successfully closed.
- Verify the final interest rates and maturity dates of the new debt instruments once finalized.
- Monitor the impact of the refinancing on the company's leverage ratios and liquidity position.
- Review subsequent filings for any changes to the proposed terms or the decision to proceed with the senior unsecured debt.
