Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the impact of the new $500 million debt on the Company's overall leverage ratios and liquidity position.
- Confirm the status of the existing ABL Facility and the hierarchy of security interests (second-priority status of the Notes).
- Assess the Company's ability to meet the 6.625% interest payments starting December 15, 2024.
- Review the specific covenants restricting dividend payments and capital stock repurchases to understand constraints on shareholder returns.
- Monitor credit rating actions by Moody's, Fitch, or S&P, as investment-grade ratings could release the Company from key covenants.
