- Ranking and guarantees: notes are senior unsecured obligations, jointly and severally guaranteed by specified subsidiaries and will be guaranteed by certain future subsidiaries; rank equal in right of payment with other senior debt.
- Optional redemption: Issuers may redeem up to 35% of the notes prior to June 1, 2029 at 106.875% (under specified equity‑proceeds conditions) and may redeem all or part earlier or on defined dates at make‑whole or step‑down percentages (103.438% in 2029; 101.719% in 2030; 100% in 2031+).

Why It Matters
- These actions add $800M of long‑dated senior unsecured debt and simultaneously retire $270.7M of 2028 notes, materially changing the company’s debt maturity profile.
- The new indenture includes customary covenants (limits on additional debt, liens, distributions, investments, mergers, asset sales and related‑party transactions) and events of default that could affect financing flexibility and holders’ remedies.
- For investors, the primary takeaways are the increased long‑term senior debt exposure, the reduction of near‑term 2028 obligations, and the contractual protections and redemption features that govern repayment and potential acceleration.
