Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current "borrowing base" calculation to determine actual available liquidity under the $250.0 million revolver.
- Review the full text of the Amended Credit Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for specific financial covenants and leverage ratios.
- Confirm the impact of the new quarterly principal payments ($2.0 million) on future cash flow projections.
- Assess the Company's ability to service the new debt structure given the increased revolver utilization ($177.5 million outstanding).
