Material Changes and Strategic Actions
The primary material change is the refinancing of existing debt.

This action extends the Company's debt maturity profile by replacing 2027 debt with notes due in 2031 and 2036.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
The closing of the new notes offering is contingent upon the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The filing explicitly states that it does not constitute the official notice of redemption for the 2027 Notes; the official notice was delivered separately on February 11, 2026. The filing references the Underwriting Agreement (Exhibit 1.1) for complete terms and conditions.

- Review the Underwriting Agreement (Exhibit 1.1) for specific covenants and use of proceeds details.
- Monitor the Company's liquidity position post-redemption to ensure sufficient cash flow for the March 13, 2026 payment.
