Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The primary material change is the replacement of existing senior secured euro term loans. The new loans refinance previous debt that carried an interest rate of floating EURIBO plus 2.50% per annum. This amendment reduces the interest rate spread by 50 basis points (from 2.50% to 2.00%).
Guidance, Risks, and Unusual Items

Services: The Administrative Agent provided financial advisory, commercial banking, and investment banking services for which customary fees and expenses were received.
The filing contains no forward-looking guidance, management commentary on operational outlook, or discussion of general business risks beyond the specific terms of the credit agreement.
