FAQ

Why Neutral?

The exchange offer alters the company's debt structure without directly affecting operations. Past similar restructurings have shown minimal direct impact on stock prices.

How important is it?

The announcement significantly affects the company’s debt profile and financing terms, which can influence credit metrics and investor sentiment moderately.

Why Short Term?

Short-term volatility may occur during settlements and tender windows, but long-term fundamentals remain unchanged.
