The term loans require scheduled quarterly amortization of 2.5% per annum of original principal from September 30, 2026 through June 30, 2028, increasing to 5.0% per annum through March 30, 2030. The facilities remain secured and guaranteed on the same basis as before and include a maximum consolidated first lien net leverage ratio of 4.25:1.00 and customary restrictive covenants and events of default.
