Amendment No. 1 financial
"entered into that certain Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to its Credit Agreement"
Credit Agreement financial
"Amendment No. 1 to its Credit Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2025"
A credit agreement is a written loan contract between a borrower and a bank or other lender that lays out how much money can be borrowed, the interest rate, repayment schedule, fees, and the rules the borrower must follow. For investors, it matters because those terms affect a company’s cash costs, borrowing flexibility and risk of default — similar to how a mortgage’s rules determine a homeowner’s monthly budget and freedom to make changes.
Senior Credit Facilities financial
"as amended by Amendment No. 1, the “Amended Credit Agreement,” and the credit facilities thereunder, the “Senior Credit Facilities”"
Senior credit facilities are loans or lines of credit that a company takes from banks or lenders and that have first claim on the company’s cash and assets if it runs into trouble. Think of them like a mortgage that gets paid before other bills; their size, interest rate, and terms affect how expensive and risky it is for a company to operate, which in turn influences investor returns and the likelihood of dilution or default.
Term SOFR financial
"Term SOFR, subject to a 0.00% per annum floor for the applicable interest period, plus a margin of 2.25% per annum"
Term SOFR is a benchmark interest rate that reflects the cost of borrowing money over a specific period, based on actual transactions in the financial markets. It is used by lenders and borrowers to set the interest rates on loans and financial contracts, helping to ensure rates are fair and transparent. For investors, understanding term SOFR helps gauge borrowing costs and the overall direction of interest rates in the economy.
base rate financial
"a “base rate” (defined as the highest rate of: (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, (b) the one-month Term SOFR"
The base rate is the primary interest rate set by a central authority or used as a benchmark for pricing loans, savings and other financial products. Think of it as the anchor in a floating system: when the base rate moves, borrowing costs, corporate financing and consumer spending tend to shift too, which can change company profits and investor returns across the market.
