Key Financial Metrics and Debt Structure

- Revolving Credit Commitments: Increased from $1.655 billion to $1.855 billion.
- Accordion Feature: Upsized to allow total commitments to reach up to $2.7825 billion (previously up to $2.2 billion), subject to conditions.

- Availability Period: Extended for "Extending Lenders" from September 2025 to August 2026.
- Benchmark Rate: Replaced LIBOR with SOFR.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The primary material change is the amendment and restatement of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement dated February 1, 2017. Significant modifications include:
- Removal of all maintenance financial covenants except for the minimum shareholders' equity test and the asset coverage ratio test.
- Reset of the minimum shareholders' equity test.
- Expansion of total available liquidity through the upsize of the revolver and swingline facilities.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not provide specific revenue guidance, profit outlook, or management commentary on future business performance. The document focuses on the terms of the new credit agreement. The removal of certain maintenance covenants may reduce immediate compliance risks, though the filing does not explicitly detail new risk factors associated with the amended terms.
Important Facts for Investor Verification
