- Confirm the pro-rata calculation of Thomas Surran's 2026 bonus based on the actual separation date.
- Monitor the company's consolidated total leverage ratio to ensure compliance with the stepped-down covenants (4.75:1.00 to 4.00:1.00) following the spin-off.
- Review the specific terms of the voluntary prepayment of Term Loans using spin-off proceeds as mandated by the credit agreement.
