Revolving Credit Facility
On June 13, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment and restatement of its previous credit facility that, among other changes, increased the committed amount to $400.0 million and extended the maturity date to June 13, 2030 (as amended and restated, the “Credit Facility”). Certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at specified rates based on our utilization and consolidated leverage ratio.
