To de-risk execution, the company also executed a Transaction Support Agreement with TCS stakeholders representing 80.47% of equity and 90.75% of term loans, and entered a Put Agreement with certain term lenders that backstops $15 million of the first $30 million in interim priming loans if the merger terminates under specified conditions.
