Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the exact closing date of the $1.1 billion Term Loan (expected on or prior to December 2, 2025).

- Review the full text of the Term Loan Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for specific definitions of "Acquisition Period" and "adjusted Consolidated EBITDA."
- Monitor the company's leverage ratio to ensure compliance with the 5.00:1.00 debt-to-EBITDA covenant.
