The covenant relaxation signals lender support for the pending APA with Energy World Corp. Monitor the closing of that acquisition and subsequent leverage levels. The looser covenants reduce near-term refinancing risk but do not change the fundamental credit profile.

The amendment supports the company's previously announced Asset Purchase Agreement with Energy World Corporation Ltd and reflects improved risk profile per management. No new debt or equity was raised.
