The new facility carries a margin of 140 basis points over SOFR and consists of a $213.4 million term loan and a $155.1 million revolving credit facility. At close, $193.8 million will be drawn, with an additional $16 million drawn on the revolving portion. The facility also includes a $200 million accordion feature.
