- Covenants: The new Term A Loan agreement includes a financial maintenance covenant requiring compliance with a maximum consolidated net first lien leverage ratio, effective beginning with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2026.
- Amortization: The Term A Loans require scheduled amortization payments starting March 31, 2026, at 2.5% annually until 2028, increasing to 5.0% thereafter.
- Interest Rates: The Term A Loans bear interest based on Term SOFR plus a 1.50% margin (or Base Rate plus 0.50%), subject to adjustments based on leverage ratios.
