  • Maturity Date: Extended to March 29, 2022, with two additional one-year extension options.
  • Leverage Ratio: Maximum permissible leverage ratio increased from 2.5:1 to 3.0:1.

Material Changes Versus Prior Period

The primary material change is the expansion of the Company's borrowing capacity and flexibility.
