The company has established a new five-year senior secured credit facility with an aggregate principal amount of $550.0 million. The structure is as follows:
- Total Facility Size: $550.0 million
- Term Loan Component: $200.0 million (Senior Secured Term A Loans)
- Revolving Credit Facility: $350.0 million

The filing does not provide current revenue, profit, cash flow, or margin figures, as this report focuses exclusively on the debt agreement.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
Concurrent with the new agreement, the company repaid all outstanding obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement (dated February 3, 2021) in the amount of $185.0 million. All commitments under the previous facility, including both revolving and term loan components, were terminated.
Covenants, Risks, and Management Commentary
The new Credit Agreement includes customary negative covenants restricting additional indebtedness, granting of liens, and certain asset dispositions. A key financial covenant requires the company to maintain a Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio not greater than 3.25:1.00. This ratio may step up to 3.75:1.00 for four consecutive fiscal quarters following an acquisition of at least $75 million.
Management issued a press release on September 3, 2024, confirming the closing of the agreement. The filing notes that the information in the press release is not deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the company's current Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio to ensure compliance with the 3.25:1.00 covenant.
- Confirm the utilization status of the new $350.0 million revolving credit facility.
- Review the full text of the Credit Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for specific definitions of "Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio" and "Base Rate."
- Monitor for any acquisitions exceeding $75 million that would trigger the leverage ratio step-up to 3.75:1.00.
