- 4.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2027, and thereafter.
- Debt Impact: The Amendment does not increase the Company's total indebtedness.
Material Changes and Restrictions
During the "Covenant Relief Period" (from the effective date until the delivery of financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026), the Company is subject to the following temporary restrictions:

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
