| Long-Term Debt [Text Block] |
On June 30, 2026, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "2026 Credit Agreement"), which provides for a senior secured revolving loan facility ("revolving loans") in an aggregate principal amount of $200 million dollars and a senior secured delayed draw term loan facility ("term loans") in an aggregate principal amount of $950 million dollars (collectively, "long-term debt"). The 2026 Credit Agreement amended and restated in its entirety our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2022 (the “2022 Credit Agreement”). On July 27, 2026, in connection with the completion of our acquisition of AMI, we borrowed $925 million under the term loans pursuant to the 2026 Credit Agreement, the proceeds of which were used to pay a portion of the cash purchase price consideration for the AMI acquisition (including refinancing outstanding indebtedness of AMI) and to pay fees, commissions, and expenses incurred in connection with the AMI acquisition. Following the borrowing of $925 million under the term loans, the remaining $25 million of undrawn commitments under the term loans expired on the closing date of the acquisition. Fees incurred in association with the 2026 Credit Agreement totaled $6.6 million through July 4, 2026.
The term loans are payable in required quarterly installments beginning with the first full fiscal quarter after the term loans are borrowed, equal to 1.250% of the original principal amount of the term loans for the first four fiscal quarters following the funding date, 1.875% of the original principal amount of the term loans for the fifth through twelfth fiscal quarters following the funding date, and 2.5% of the original principal amount of the term loans for each fiscal quarter thereafter, with the remaining principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest being due and payable on June 30, 2031. The term loans may be prepaid by the Company at any time in whole or in part, subject to certain minimum thresholds, without penalty or premium, subject to customary breakage costs for certain types of loans. The term loans are subject to customary mandatory prepayment requirements.
The proceeds of the revolving loans under the 2026 Credit Agreement may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. Revolving loans may be repaid and reborrowed at our discretion, with any remaining outstanding principal amount due and payable on the maturity date of the revolving loans on June 30, 2031.
The 2026 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants limiting the ability of the Company to, among other things, incur debt, grant liens, undergo certain fundamental changes, make investments, make certain restricted payments, dispose of assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, and enter into burdensome agreements, in each case, subject to limitations and exceptions set forth in the 2026 Credit Agreement. We are also required to maintain compliance with a consolidated total net leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio, in each case, determined in accordance with the terms of the 2026 Credit Agreement.
Loans under our 2026 Credit Agreement accrue interest at a per annum rate based on ranges determined by our consolidated total leverage ratio. At our option, interest accrues at either (a) the base rate (as defined in the 2026 Credit Agreement) plus a margin ranging from 0.00% and 0.75%, or (b) a term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") for interest periods of 1, 3 or 6 months plus a margin ranging from 1.00% and 1.75%. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears with respect to borrowings bearing interest at the base rate or on the last day of an interest period, but at least every three months, with respect to borrowings bearing interest at the term SOFR rate.
At July 4, 2026, we had no borrowings outstanding under the 2026 Credit Agreement, and at January 3, 2026, we had no borrowings outstanding under the 2022 Credit Agreement.
Prior to entering into the 2026 Credit Agreement and for the period in which the amendment was being prepared, we arranged for a commitment letter for a 1-year Senior Secured Bridge Facility (the "bridge facility"). Fees associated with the bridge facility commitments totaled $5.6 million, of which $0.9 million was amortized to Interest income (expense), net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. With the execution of the 2026 Credit Agreement, the remaining $4.7 million of unamortized debt costs associated with the bridge facility and $0.2 million of unamortized debt costs associated with the 2022 Credit Agreement were expensed and are included in Other income (expense), net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
