What to review: Review collateral shipping procedures to ensure all physical packages are routed to the U.S. Bank repository in St. Paul, Minnesota beginning November 1, 2026.

Post-closing

Ship all physical collateral packages directly to U.S. Bank Document Custody Services in St. Paul, Minnesota starting November 1, 2026.

Closing

Update delivery instructions to route all physical collateral shipments to U.S. Bank Document Custody Services in St. Paul, Minnesota effective November 1, 2026.

Secondary
