Management Commentary: The filing confirms the successful execution of the Sixth Amendment to the Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., Wells Fargo, and PNC Bank.

- Rating Sensitivity: Interest rates are tied to the higher of the publicly announced ratings from Moody's or S&P.
- Variable Rate Exposure: All debt instruments are variable-rate based on SOFR, exposing the company to interest rate fluctuations.
Unusual Items: None reported in this filing.
