Key Financial Metrics and Capital Structure

- Term Loan: A new U.S. dollar-denominated term loan B facility was also priced.
All notes were issued at 100% of their nominal value. The filing does not provide specific figures for revenue, profit, cash flow, or existing liquidity positions, as this is a current report focused on the debt transaction rather than a periodic financial statement.
Material Changes and Transaction Details
The primary material change is the expansion of the company's debt capital structure through the new Offering. Settlement for the notes is expected to occur on or around June 4, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.

The primary contingency noted is that the Offering is subject to customary closing conditions. The document explicitly states that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption.
