Key Financial Metrics and Debt Structure

  • Aggregate Commitment: Up to $350 million.

Material Changes Versus Prior Period

The primary material change is the replacement of the first lien revolving credit facilities under the Existing Credit Agreement with the new Replacement Revolving Credit Facility. The new agreement amends and restates the Fifth Amended and Restated First Lien Credit Agreement, originally dated July 1, 2015, and subsequently amended multiple times through June 29, 2017.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

The filing does not contain forward-looking guidance, management commentary on operational outlook, or specific risk factors beyond the standard terms of the credit agreement. The agreement includes a provision that the maturity date is subject to the repayment, extension, or refinancing with longer maturity debt of certain of the Borrower's other indebtedness.

Key Facts for Investor Verification

  • Verify the total amount of debt currently drawn under the new $350 million facility.
  • Confirm the company's current net first lien leverage ratio to determine the applicable interest margin and commitment fee.
  • Review the full text of the Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement No. 6 (Exhibit 10.1) for covenants and default provisions.
  • Assess the impact of the new facility on the company's overall liquidity and refinancing strategy.
