The term loan is a 364-day facility maturing one year after its closing date.

Interest rates are tied to Term SOFR or a reference rate, plus applicable margins.

Not necessarily. Entering into short-term credit facilities, especially when fully drawn, is a common and prudent financial management practice for companies to ensure adequate liquidity and operational flexibility.
