Key Financial Metrics and Debt Structure

Interest Rates: Borrowings may bear interest at an ABR Rate or a SOFR Rate plus an applicable margin. The margin ranges from 2.5% to 3.0% for SOFR loans and 1.5% to 2.0% for ABR loans, determined by the consolidated senior leverage ratio. A floor of 4% per annum applies to the total rate calculation in certain scenarios.

- Senior Leverage Ratio: Must not exceed 3.00 to 1.00.
Liquidity and Maturity: All loans mature on December 2030. The filing does not provide specific current cash flow, revenue, or profit figures, as this is a transactional filing rather than a periodic financial report.
