Key Financial Metrics and Debt Structure
The filing outlines the following debt metrics as of July 9, 2024:
- New Term Loan Tranche: $1.75 billion established under the new Credit Agreement.
- Revolving Credit Facility: $2.0 billion capacity maintained; $575.0 million outstanding at closing.
- Terminated Debt: Approximately $1.4 billion outstanding under the prior PNC Term Loan Agreement was repaid and terminated.
