The Amendment amends the Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of March 2, 2020 (as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of March 10, 2021, Amendment No. 2, dated as of June 22, 2023, Amendment No. 3, dated as of December 13, 2023, Amendment No. 4, dated as of June 13, 2024, and as amended by the Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the lenders from time to time party thereto.

Pursuant to the Amendment, among other modifications, the interest rate margin for the Borrower’s outstanding term loans under the Credit Agreement was reduced by 0.25%, to 1.75% in respect of term loans bearing interest based on the Term SOFR rate and to 0.75% in respect of term loans bearing interest based on a base rate defined in the Credit Agreement.

The maturity date for such term loans remains March 2, 2027, and all other material provisions of the Credit Agreement remain materially unchanged. As of December 13, 2024, the principal amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement was approximately $ 2,102,272,299.05.

Investors should not rely on the representations and warranties or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company and its subsidiaries. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Amendment, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures by the Company.
