(1)For the Company's senior secured credit facilities and senior notes, fair value estimates are based upon bid and ask quotes, typically a level 2 input. For acquisition obligations and other notes payable, the carrying values presented approximate their estimated fair values, based on estimates of their present values using level 2 interest rate inputs.

(2)The Company's interest rate in its Term Loan A-1 and new revolving line of credit is subject to adjustment depending upon the Company's leverage ratio under the credit agreement governing its senior secured credit facilities. Based on the Company's leverage ratio as of September 30, 2023, the Company's interest rate effective in the fourth quarter of 2023 will be SOFR plus CSA plus 1.75% for its Term Loan A-1 and new revolving line of credit.

(3)Outstanding Term Loan A-1 and new revolving line of credit balances are due on April 28, 2028, unless any of Term Loan B-1 remains outstanding 91 days prior to the Term Loan B-1 maturity date, in which case the outstanding Term Loan A-1 and the new revolving line of credit balances become due at that 91 day date (May 13, 2026).

(4)At March 31, 2023, the interest rate on the Company's then-existing credit facilities was LIBOR plus an interest rate margin in effect of 1.75% for the prior Term Loan A and prior revolving line of credit.

(5)The interest rate presented for acquisition obligations and other notes payable is their weighted average interest rate based on the current fixed and variable interest rate components in effect as of September 30, 2023.

(6)Financing lease obligations are measured at their approximate present values at inception. The interest rate presented is the weighted average discount rate embedded in financing leases outstanding.
