HarperCollins Equipment Lease

Interest accrues on amounts drawn under the Equipment Lease based on the Term SOFR plus a margin of 1.475%. The Equipment Lease may be drawn on until June 30, 2028, after which lease payments commence for a term of 7 years. The lease obligations are secured by the acquired equipment, and ownership of the equipment acquired under the Equipment Lease will transfer to HarperCollins at the end of the lease term. The Equipment Lease will be classified as a finance lease on the Company’s balance sheet upon commencement.
