The Amendment and Extension Agreement extends the expiration date of the Credit Agreement from September 29, 2027 to September 29, 2028, pursuant to Section 2.24 of the Credit Agreement (the “Extension Period”), and provides for certain other amendments to the Credit Agreement. The Amendment and Extension Agreement includes commitments in the amount of $2.34 billion during the Extension Period and PMI has the ability to increase or obtain additional commitments under the Credit Agreement during the Extension Period, provided that total aggregate commitments shall in no event exceed $2.5 billion.
Except as set forth in the Amendment and Extension Agreement, all the other terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement remain in full force and effect.
