| Item 2.03. | Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant. |
As previously reported by the Company, in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 9, 2026 (the “Closing Date 8-K”), the Company entered into a delayed draw term loan credit agreement, dated as of January 9, 2026 (as amended by the First Amendment thereto, dated as of June 17, 2026, the “Term Loan Agreement”), with the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent. On November 10, 2026, the Company borrowed an $800,000,000 term loan (the “Term Loan”) under the Term Loan Agreement which represents a borrowing of the full committed amount thereunder, reducing commitments under the facility to zero. The material terms of the Term Loan Agreement are described in the Closing Date 8-K and the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 24, 2026 (the “Amendment Date 8-K”), and are incorporated herein by reference.
The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Term Loan to repay in full the $800,000,000 aggregate principal amount of term loan outstanding under the 2024 Term Loan Agreement, which term loan is scheduled to mature in December 2027. The Company expects to make such repayment on or about November 17, 2026. Upon such repayment, the 2024 Term Loan Agreement will terminate in accordance with its terms.
The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Term Loan Agreement, including the First Amendment thereto, copies of which were filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Closing Date 8-K and Amendment Date 8-K, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
