Key Financial Metrics and Transaction Details
- Bridge Loan Facility: $230.0 million aggregate principal amount.
- Maturity Date: June 30, 2027.
- Interest Rate: Adjusted Term SOFR plus 5.50% per annum (stepping up by 0.50% every 90 days).

- Liquidity Requirement: Borrower must maintain minimum liquidity of $20.0 million while the loan is outstanding.
Material Changes
The primary material change is the refinancing of existing debt. The proceeds from the new $230.0 million Bridge Loan were utilized to repay the $217,870,000 Taxable Series 2024B Bonds at maturity, fund a debt service reserve account, and pay transaction fees. This transaction replaces the previous bond obligation with a secured bridge loan facility.
Outlook, Risks, and Covenants
Repayment Sources: The Bridge Loan is required to be repaid via net proceeds from asset sales, recovery events, equity issuances, or new debt incurrences. Additionally, the Borrower must prepay the loan with Excess Cash Flow 45 days after the fiscal year-end (Dec 31, 2026) and the fiscal quarter-end (June 30, 2027).
Covenants and Risks: The agreement includes negative covenants limiting additional indebtedness, distributions, investments, and liens. An event of default could result in the acceleration of all outstanding amounts. The filing does not provide specific guidance on future revenue or profit margins, as this is a transactional filing rather than an earnings report.
