SOFR financial
"SOFR + 5.00% per annum"
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.
amortization payments financial
"eliminate amortization payments under the Term Loan Credit Agreement"
Regular payments that combine principal and interest to gradually reduce a loan or other debt over a set period, similar to how a mortgage payment chips away at what you owe until the balance is zero. For investors, these payments affect a company’s cash flow and interest costs, changing how much free cash is available for dividends, reinvestment, or growth and influencing credit risk and valuation.
covenant baskets financial
"modify certain covenant baskets"
guarantor financial
"TETRA Bromine Project LLC to become a guarantor"
