Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The primary material change is the extension of the credit facility's maturity and the modification of its revolving terms. Previously, the facility had a shorter maturity profile. The amendment also formalized the ability to increase the facility size to $400 million, providing greater borrowing flexibility compared to the prior agreement.
