Material Changes
The Company amended its Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (dated November 5, 2015). The material change involves the definition of a "Change in Control" regarding the Board of Directors:
- Previous Definition: A Change in Control occurred if a majority of Board seats were occupied by persons not nominated by the Board or appointed by directors so nominated.
- Amended Definition: A Change in Control now occurs if a majority of Board seats are occupied by persons neither (i) nominated or approved for consideration by shareholders for election by the Board, nor (ii) appointed by directors so nominated or approved.
This amendment affects the lenders' rights to terminate commitments, require prepayment of loans, or require cash collateralization upon a Change in Control.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: The filing contains no forward-looking guidance, outlook, or management commentary regarding future performance.
Risks and Contingencies: The filing highlights the contingent risk that lenders may terminate commitments or demand prepayment/collateralization if the amended "Change in Control" definition is triggered. No other risks or unusual items are disclosed in this report.
