Our business, reputation, prospects, financial condition, operating results, cash flows, liquidity, and share price can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including those described in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the 2025 10-K. When any one or more of these risks materialize from time to time, our business, reputation, prospects, financial condition, operating results, cash flows, liquidity, and share price can be materially and adversely affected. There have been no material changes to our risk factors disclosed in the 2025 10-K.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, as a result of the April 2026 refinancing in which we refinanced the 2024 Credit Facility and 2029 Secured Notes with the 2026 Credit Facility and the 2033 Secured Notes, we are updating the references to certain of the indebtedness described in the risk factor below. See Note 4, Long-Term Debt, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion of the April 2026 refinancing.
The terms and covenants in our existing indebtedness could limit our discretion with respect to certain business matters, which could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results.
Our senior secured credit facility, or the 2026 Credit Facility, and the indentures governing the senior secured notes due May 1, 2033, or the 2033 Secured Notes, and the senior notes due June 1, 2029, or the 2029 Notes, have restrictive covenants that limit our and our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things:
• pay dividends, redeem share capital or capital stock, and make other restricted payments and investments;
• sell assets or merge, consolidate, or transfer all or substantially all of our subsidiaries’ assets;
• incur or guarantee additional debt;
• impose dividend or other distribution restrictions on our subsidiaries; and
• create liens on our and our subsidiaries’ assets.
In addition, the 2026 Credit Facility requires us to meet certain financial ratios and financial conditions. These covenants could limit our ability to grow our business, take advantage of attractive business opportunities, successfully compete, obtain future financing, withstand future downturns in our business or the economy in general, or otherwise conduct necessary corporate activities.
Our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under any of our debt agreements, the lenders or noteholders, as applicable, could cause all outstanding amounts under such agreements to become due and payable, and it could trigger a cross-default with respect to other outstanding indebtedness under certain circumstances. The 2026 Credit Facility and 2033 Secured Notes are secured by the equity interests of certain of our subsidiaries and substantially all of the assets of the domestic loan parties, and the lenders thereunder could proceed to foreclose on such assets if we are unable to repay or refinance any accelerated debt under the 2026 Credit Facility or the 2033 Secured Notes. Following an event of default, the lenders under our revolving credit facility would also have the right to terminate any commitments they have to provide further borrowings.
