These covenants may be relaxed if the New Notes receive investment-grade ratings from both S&P and Moody's.
- Guarantees: The New Notes are guaranteed jointly and severally by existing and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the Revolving Credit Facility or other senior indebtedness.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the exact cash outflow of ~$100 million and its impact on current liquidity and cash reserves.
- Confirm the remaining balance of the 7.875% Senior Notes due 2025 (approximately $1.5 million) and its repayment schedule.
- Review the full text of the Indenture (Exhibit 4.1) for specific definitions of "Change of Control" and "Asset Sale" triggers.
- Assess the company's ability to service the higher interest payments (10.5% to 12%) given the current interest rate environment.
- Monitor credit rating actions by S&P and Moody's to determine if covenant relief becomes available.
