Key Financial Metrics and Debt Structure
The Company entered into a new Credit Agreement with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $1.0 billion, structured as follows:
- Revolving Credit Facility: $500.0 million, maturing September 24, 2030.
- Term Loan: $500.0 million, maturing September 24, 2032.

- Term Loan Margin: 1.75% to 2.00% (SOFR) or 0.75% to 1.00% (Base Rate).
The proceeds are designated to repay existing senior secured credit facilities, pay refinancing fees, repay portions of the accounts receivable securitization facility, and fund general corporate purposes. The filing does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, or current liquidity positions.

- Restricted Payments: Restrictions on dividends, stock repurchases, and distributions, with exceptions for REIT status maintenance and tax avoidance.
- Debt and Liens: Limitations on incurring additional indebtedness or granting additional liens.

- Award Value: $400,000.
- Vesting Conditions: Cliff vesting over a three-year period tied to common stock price performance.
- Acceleration: Vesting accelerates if employment is terminated without "Cause" or by the executive for "Good Reason."
