Third Amended and Restated Credit Facility financial
"entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Third Amended and Restated Credit Facility”)"
unsecured revolving facility financial
"comprised of a $1 billion unsecured revolving facility (the “Third Amended Revolver”)"
SOFR financial
"priced at 0.775% over the applicable Secured Overnight Financing Rate (the “SOFR”)"
The Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) is a market benchmark that measures the cost of borrowing cash overnight using U.S. Treasury securities as collateral. Investors watch SOFR because it acts like a speedometer for short-term interest costs—affecting loan rates, bond yields and the pricing of interest-rate contracts—so movements change borrowing expenses, cash returns and the value of interest-sensitive investments.
fixed charge coverage ratio tests financial
"require us to comply with leverage and fixed charge coverage ratio tests"
event of default financial
"The lenders may accelerate amounts outstanding ... upon the occurrence of an event of default"
An event of default is a specific breach of a loan or bond agreement—such as missed payments or breaking agreed rules—that gives lenders the legal right to act, for example by demanding immediate repayment, seizing collateral, or accelerating other obligations. For investors, it’s a red flag because it can sharply reduce a company’s ability to operate or raise money, like a car lender repossessing a vehicle after missed payments, and often leads to falling share or bond prices.
