Previous wording

During the first quarter of 2024, contractual interest expense has increased due to higher average debt outstanding, partially offset by a lower weighted average interest rate. The higher average debt balance outstanding is primarily the result of borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facility to fund the Pulse and InNeuroCo acquisitions. The lower weighted average interest rate was primarily due to the replacement of some of our higher variable rate debt with lower fixed rate debt through issuance of the 2028 Convertible Notes during the first quarter of 2023. In addition, during the second quarter of 2023 we realized a 25 basis point reduction in the interest rate margin on our Senior Secured Credit Facilities based on our secured net leverage ratio (as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement).
