Material Changes
The primary material change is the execution of the First Amendment to the 2024 Credit Agreement. Key modifications include:
- Adjustments to financial ratio test requirements related to permitted acquisitions.
- Confirmation to maintain the existing consolidated total net leverage ratio (total debt relative to Adjusted Cash EBITDA) at its current level for the duration of the agreement.

No additional mandatory principal payments are due during fiscal 2026, with the next scheduled payment due on June 30, 2026.
The filing includes standard forward-looking statements cautioning that actual results may differ due to various risks, including the possibility that the Amendment may not generate intended benefits as quickly as anticipated.
