The Revolver requires the entire outstanding principal to be paid on the maturity date. On April 16, 2025, Shentel amended the Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”) to extend the maturity date of the Revolver and Term Loan A-1 to July 1, 2027. Both Term Loan A-2 and Term Loan A-3 mature on July 1, 2028.
