The first revolving credit facility has been newly expanded from $525 million to $690 million. It has an interest rate of 1% to 3% above LIBOR with no LIBOR floor. The second facility is a combination of two existing facilities with respective rates of LIBOR plus 3.5% and LIBOR plus 4%. The combined facility will have a rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%.
