Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes
On April 24, 2023, the Company executed Amendment No. 1 to both its Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility and its Term Loan Credit Facility (originally dated August 2, 2021). The primary change involves the replacement of the interest rate benchmark:

The filing does not provide updated financial guidance, management commentary on future outlook, or specific risk factors beyond the standard disclosure of the interest rate benchmark transition. The change aligns the company's debt instruments with the global phase-out of LIBOR.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the full text of Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) and Term Loan Credit Facility (Exhibit 10.2) for detailed terms.
- Confirm the impact of the 0.10% add-on to the SOFR spread on future interest expense compared to the previous LIBOR-based calculations.
- Review subsequent quarterly filings (10-Q) to assess the actual interest rate environment and total debt service costs post-amendment.
