"), pursuant to the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 5, 2018 (the "
Merger Agreement
"), by and among the Company, Parent

Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), was terminated, and all existing third-party debt for borrowed money of the Company and its subsidiaries (and all of the commitments,
liens and guaranties with respect thereto) under the Credit Agreement were repaid, redeemed, defeased, discharged, refinanced and terminated, effective as of January 28, 2019.
Item 2.01

The information set forth under the Introductory Note is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.
