Material Changes Versus Prior Period

- Refinancing: Proceeds from the new facility were used to refinance existing debt.
- Capacity Increase: The new agreement provides a larger total credit capacity compared to the prior arrangement.
- Extension: The maturity date was extended to April 15, 2031.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: The proceeds from the new term and revolving loans were used to refinance existing debt and for general corporate purposes.
Covenants: The agreement includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, including maintenance of consolidated net leverage ratios and interest coverage ratios.
Risks: An event of default allows lenders to declare all outstanding loans immediately due and payable. Future draws are subject to conditions, including the absence of defaults.
