- Verify actual and available facility utilization, including any margin deficits or collateral shortfalls.
- Assess the impact of LIBOR replacement provisions on borrowing costs.
- Confirm the treatment of these arrangements in the company’s debt, liquidity, and off-balance-sheet disclosures.
- Monitor the September 2022 maturity and expiration dates and any subsequent extensions or refinancing activity.
