Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement financial

"Fourth Amendment to Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement, dated July 28, 2026"

A senior secured revolving credit agreement is a loan contract that gives a company repeated access to borrowing up to a set limit, where lenders have first claim on specified assets if the company can’t pay. Think of it like a business credit card backed by collateral: it supplies short-term cash for operations or growth, sets rules about how the company can use funds, and matters to investors because it affects liquidity, borrowing cost, financial flexibility, and who gets paid first in a distress scenario.
