The transaction represents an increase in available liquidity capacity rather than an immediate change in debt obligations.
Important Facts for Investors to Verify
- Confirm the total outstanding debt balance under the credit facility, as this filing only addresses the increase in available commitment capacity.
- Review the original Form 8-K filed on March 3, 2014, for the full terms, covenants, and interest rate structures of the senior secured credit facility.
- Monitor future filings to determine if and when the Company draws upon the newly added $100 million in revolving credit.
