The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility for general corporate purposes, including to fund working capital. As the Company has not yet entered into any commitments with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, the terms of the Company’s financing arrangements remain under discussion, and are subject to change, including as a function of market conditions.
