- Spread Reduction: Overall reduction of 25 basis points in the interest rate spread at all pricing levels.
- Elimination of Credit Spread Adjustment: Removed the adjustment applicable to Revolving Credit Loans, saving 11.45 to 71.51 basis points depending on tenor.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: The amendment was executed to extend the maturity of the credit facility and secure more favorable borrowing terms, including lower interest costs and reduced covenant strictness.
Risks and Contingencies: The filing does not disclose new specific risks beyond standard credit agreement terms. The company remains subject to the modified covenants, specifically the new 2.00:1.00 Interest Coverage Ratio.
