# Seagate amends credit agreement: lowers revolving commitments by $250M, eases covenants through 2025

## Summary
- Revolving commitments reduced to $1.5B from $1.75B; $450M term loan prepayment required by Sept 30, 2023 to avoid margin increases.
- New total net leverage ratio of 6.75x max starting Q2 fiscal 2023, stepping down; previous total leverage ratio replaced.
- Minimum interest coverage ratio set at 2.50x through mid-2024, then returns to 3.25x after covenant relief period ends June 2025.
- Failure to prepay $450M by Dec 29, 2023 or ratings drop triggers collateral posting requirements.
- Covenant relief period runs from May 19, 2023 to June 27, 2025, with earlier termination if total leverage ratio under 3.00x.
