2. What changed in the transaction
Under the amendment, the parties revised the economics and mechanics of the sale in response to market conditions, including a lower headline enterprise value versus the prior agreement and changes designed to simplify the transaction at closing. The company has indicated the updated structure increases cash proceeds at close and removes certain financing elements from the buyer side, which can reduce execution risk and timing uncertainty.
