- Banco Santander: Facility increased from $750 million to $1.0 billion; expiration date extended to June 11, 2027.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not contain forward-looking guidance, revenue outlook, or specific risk factors beyond the standard disclosure that the description of the agreements is subject to the full text of the contracts. The extension of facility maturities to 2027 suggests management's intent to secure long-term liquidity stability. The ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent auditor for the year ending December 31, 2025, was approved by stockholders.
