Material Changes
The material change reported is the reduction of debt obligations and the corresponding increase in outstanding equity. Upon completion, the Senior Secured Exchangeable Notes due 2030 will be cancelled. This transaction reduces the Company's leverage while increasing the share count, which may result in dilution to existing shareholders.
