- Total Principal Amount: $250,000,000
- Series K Notes: $125,000,000 at 5.17% interest, maturing July 24, 2030.
- Series L Notes: $125,000,000 at 5.47% interest, maturing July 24, 2032.

Material Changes and Covenants
The filing introduces new financial obligations and covenants effective upon the issuance of the notes on July 24, 2025. Key covenants include:
- Maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio: 2.75 to 1.0 as of the last day of any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters.
- Minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth: $325,000,000 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter.
- Events of Default: Standard provisions that could accelerate the principal and interest if triggered.
Note: This filing does not provide comparative financial data (e.g., revenue or profit changes) versus prior periods.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: Management intends to utilize a portion of the net proceeds to refinance maturing debt obligations due in the next twelve months, with the remainder allocated to general corporate purposes.
Risks: The Note Purchase Agreement contains customary events of default. If an event of default occurs and continues, the principal and accrued interest may become immediately due and payable.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the exact closing date of the transaction (July 24, 2025) and the receipt of net proceeds.
- Review the full text of the Note Purchase Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for detailed definitions of "Maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio" and "Minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth."
- Confirm the specific maturing notes scheduled for repayment within the next twelve months to assess refinancing risk.
- Monitor future quarterly reports to ensure compliance with the 2.75:1 leverage ratio and $325 million tangible net worth covenants.
