Material Changes
The primary material change is the execution of the Eighth Refinancing Amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Agreement. This amendment refinances the Original Term B Loans with the new Term B-2 facility. The proceeds from the new loans are designated to repay the Original Term B Loans in full, along with all accrued and unpaid fees. The terms of the new loans are substantially similar to the Original Term B Loans under the sixth refinancing amendment, except for the specific refinancing details noted above.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
The Senior Secured Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including an event of default upon a change of control. The filing notes that certain lenders and their affiliates have provided financial advisory, commercial banking, and investment banking services to Dell Technologies and its affiliates. The filing does not provide specific management commentary on future revenue guidance or operational outlook beyond the debt restructuring.
