Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the Company's current senior secured and total leverage ratios against the 3.00 and 6.00 covenants.
- Confirm the outstanding principal amount of existing convertible senior notes to assess the October 16, 2025, maturity condition.
- Review the Company's liquidity position to ensure it meets the threshold required to extend the maturity date past October 2025.
- Monitor interest rate exposure given the variable rate structure tied to Prime and SOFR.
- Check for any subsequent amendments or waivers regarding the financial covenants.
