Important Facts for Investors to Verify
- Verify the company's current Total Debt and Consolidated EBITDA to ensure compliance with the new 4.00:1.00 leverage ratio covenant.
- Review the definition of "Material Acquisition" within the amendment to understand triggers for the higher 4.50:1.00 leverage ratio.
- Confirm the calculation methodology for Consolidated EBITDA as defined in the 2019 Credit Facility, as it may differ from GAAP or non-GAAP measures used in earnings releases.
- Check for any subsequent filings regarding the status of the 2019 Credit Facility or additional amendments.
