Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: The filing states that the summary of terms is not complete and is subject to the full text of the Amendments, which will be filed as exhibits to the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
Risks and Contingencies: The company is now subject to stricter financial covenants regarding liquidity (cash balances) and profitability (net revenue and fixed charge coverage). Failure to meet these new tests could constitute a default under the amended agreements.
