Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the closing status and final terms of the Tranche C Notes ($50.0 million) scheduled for May 22, 2026.
- Confirm the impact of the new interest rate swaps on the Company's net interest expense and exposure to SOFR fluctuations.
- Review the Company's most recent quarterly report (10-Q) or annual report (10-K) for updated liquidity, leverage ratios, and total debt levels, as this 8-K does not provide aggregate balance sheet data.
- Assess the use of proceeds from the $135.0 million in issued notes (Tranche A and B) to determine if they are funding new investments or refinancing existing debt.
