Monitor for any future drawdowns on the revolver or activations of the incremental term loan facility, which would signal M&A or strategic capital deployment. The springing maturity provision linked to the 2030 Convertible Notes is a key credit risk trigger if outstanding convertible notes remain large relative to EBITDA and liquidity tightens.
