Insights
TL;DR: The amendment extends maturity and materially relaxes leverage covenant mechanics, giving the company more near-term covenant flexibility.
The Fifth Amendment extends the revolver maturity to February 13, 2028, and adjusts key covenant inputs. Increasing the Approved Restructuring Charges allowance to $30.0 million over a twelve-month period and raising the Material Acquisition cap to 20% of Consolidated EBITDA effectively increases permitted one-time adjustments when calculating Total Leverage Ratio. Moving the covenant trigger to require compliance only when revolver usage exceeds 30.0% of commitments narrows the scenarios when the Leverage Covenant applies. These changes are explicit and materially alter covenant measurement and applicability; they reduce the frequency of covenant testing tied to minimal revolver usage and expand permitted adjustments.
TL;DR: Contractual amendments provide clearer, looser thresholds for covenant application and broaden permitted EBITDA adjustments.
The amendment’s concrete changes—maturity extension and specific numeric increases to restructuring and acquisition charge caps—are straightforward contractual modifications. By defining a 30.0% usage threshold for covenant applicability and specifying dollar and percentage limits, the amendment formalizes governance of financial covenant calculation. The document filed as Exhibit 10.1 should be reviewed for full legal language and any related representations or waivers, since the summary here is qualified by that exhibit.
