Understanding the Limited Waiver Agreement
The Limited Waiver Agreement, recently updated, enables AYR to maintain essential operational flexibility amidst ongoing financial considerations. The agreement has temporarily restrained the Majority Holders from taking action related to certain events of default due to a delay in filing interim financial statements for early 2025 and some payment defaults associated with other outstanding debts.
Through this amendment, the temporary waiver period has been extended to support the Company until July 25, 2025. This extension is not a permanent solution to any existing defaults but rather an opportunity for AYR to explore strategic options and maintain dialogue with its senior lenders.
