Material Changes and Structural Details
The issuance of the Additional Notes increases the total outstanding principal of the 2026 Senior Notes class to $1.6 billion.

Guidance, Risks, and Covenants
- Redemption: The notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of SFC at a "make-whole" redemption price. There is no sinking fund.
- Covenants: The Indenture limits SFC's ability to create liens on assets and restricts consolidation, mergers, or asset sales.
- Events of Default: Includes nonpayment, breach of covenants, and bankruptcy/insolvency events. Upon default, holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount may declare the notes immediately due and payable.
- Financial Metrics: The filing does not provide specific revenue, profit, cash flow, or liquidity metrics for the reporting period, as it focuses solely on the debt transaction.
