Material Changes and Use of Proceeds
The primary material change is the execution of the debt offering. The Company intends to utilize the net proceeds as follows:
- Debt Repayment: Approximately 50% of net proceeds will repay a portion of the term loan under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (dated June 22, 2023).

Guidance, Risks, and Contingencies
Management Commentary: The filing confirms the pricing of the notes and the strategic intent to refinance existing credit facilities and fund growth opportunities.
Risks and Conflicts: The filing discloses that certain underwriters and their affiliates have engaged in investment banking and commercial dealings with the Company. Additionally, affiliates of certain underwriters act as lenders under the Company's secured and senior unsecured lines of credit. If proceeds are used to repay indebtedness held by these underwriters, they will receive their proportionate share of the repayment.
Investor Verification Checklist
