Item 7.01.

Regulation FD Disclosure.

Credit Agreement Amendment

The Company has launched a proposed refinancing of its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement among the Company, the lenders party thereto, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as sole lead arranger and bookrunner, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent dated as of August 19, 2021 (as amended, the “Existing Credit Agreement”) with a new $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility maturing in 2030 (the “New Revolver”). The Company anticipates that the New Revolver will be documented by amending and restating (such Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) the Existing Credit Agreement. The Company currently intends to use the proceeds from the Notes Offering (as defined below) to, among other things, repay certain outstanding indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement.

The proposed Amended Credit Agreement will refinance the Existing Credit Agreement with the previously referenced New Revolver, which may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes and may also be used for the refinancing of existing debt (including under the Existing Credit Agreement), acquisitions, and the repurchase of our common stock. Interest rates on amounts borrowed under the proposed New Revolver are anticipated to be based on (i) an adjusted base rate, which is the greatest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.5% and (c) Daily Simple SOFR plus 1%, plus, in each case, an applicable margin, (ii) Daily Simple SOFR plus an applicable margin (or, if such rate is no longer available, a successor benchmark rate to be determined in accordance with the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement), or (iii) term SOFR (without a credit spread adjustment) plus an applicable margin (or, if such rate is no longer available, a successor benchmark rate to be determined in accordance with the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement). The applicable margin for base rate borrowings and for SOFR borrowings are anticipated to be determined based on our consolidated leverage ratio. The applicable margin for base rate borrowings are anticipated to range from 0% to 0.75% per annum and for SOFR borrowings are anticipated to range from 1% to 1.75% per annum. The proposed New Revolver is anticipated to contain certain restrictive covenants that are substantially similar to those under the Existing Credit Agreement, but will not contain a minimum interest coverage ratio. The Amended Credit Agreement is anticipated to permit the Company to, subject to certain conditions, increase the New Revolver and/or borrow one or more incremental term loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the greater of (a) 100% of EBITDA for the most recently ended four consecutive fiscal quarter period for which financial statements have been delivered under the Amended Credit Agreement and (b) an amount which, after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of such increase (assuming such increase is funded on the effective date thereof and after giving effect to any permanent repayment of indebtedness in connection therewith) would not cause the consolidated leverage ratio to exceed a ratio of 0.50 to 1.00 below the applicable maximum consolidated leverage ratio then in effect under the Amended Credit Agreement.

The closing of the Amended Credit Agreement, which is anticipated to occur concurrently with the closing of the Notes Offering, is subject to market conditions, as well as the negotiation and execution of definitive documents and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The consummation of the Notes Offering is not conditioned on the Company obtaining the New Revolver or entering into the Amended Credit Agreement, and the Company can provide no assurances that the Company will be successful in obtaining the New Revolver or entering into the Amended Credit Agreement on the terms described above.
