The removal of the board composition change of control trigger removes a key default risk tied to the activist Oasis Management campaign. This reduces the risk of a forced sale or restructuring under the credit agreement, but does not change the underlying business or financial performance. Monitor for any subsequent 13D/A filings for the activist campaign and any potential strategic review or sale process.
