Current report

As of September 30, 2026, we had $2.2 billion of total debt on a consolidated basis. On October 1, 2026, our indebtedness increased materially in connection with the Maverick Power acquisition. We funded the Maverick Power acquisition with borrowings under the 2026 Term Loan Facility and net proceeds from the issuance of the 2036 Notes, together with cash on hand and borrowings from our Revolving Credit Facility, for an aggregate amount of approximately $1.65 billion of new indebtedness incurred in connection with the Maverick Power acquisition. We and our subsidiaries may incur additional indebtedness in the future. This increase and any future increases in our level of indebtedness will have several important effects on our future operations, including, without limitation:

Current report

•we will have additional cash requirements to support the payment of interest on our outstanding indebtedness;

Current report

•increases in our outstanding indebtedness and leverage may increase our vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic and industry conditions, as well as to competitive pressure;

Current report

•our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, general corporate and other purposes may be reduced;

Current report

•our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry may be reduced; and

Current report

•our flexibility to make acquisitions and develop technology may be limited.

Current report

Our ability to make payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness depends upon our future performance, which will be subject to general economic conditions and financial, business and other factors affecting our consolidated operations, many of which are beyond our control. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future to service our debt and meet our other cash requirements, we may be required, among other things:

Current report

•to seek additional financing in the debt or equity markets;

Current report

•to refinance or restructure all or a portion of our indebtedness;

Current report

•to sell selected assets or businesses; or

Current report

•to reduce or delay planned capital or operating expenditures.

Current report

Such measures might not be sufficient to enable us to service our debt and meet our other cash requirements. In addition, any such financing, refinancing or sale of assets might not be available at all or on economically favorable terms.

Current report

We may not realize the anticipated benefits of the Maverick Power acquisition and any benefit may take longer to realize than we expect.

Current report

There are uncertainties inherent in the integration of Maverick Power’s operations with our existing operations. Integration may divert management attention and resources, and delays or unexpected difficulties in the integration process could adversely affect our business, financial results and financial condition. Even if we are able to integrate Maverick Power’s operations successfully, this integration may not result in the realization of the full benefits or operational efficiencies that we expect or the achievement of these benefits within a reasonable period of time or at all.
