    • Which locations are included in the Item 19 figures, and which were excluded?

    • Reported units decreased from 165 to 163 in 2025. What drove the change?

      “We require a security interest in the Business. You must sign a security agreement... granting us a security interest in all your assets, including after-acquired property.”

      Note: Source mandates security in "all your assets, including after acquired property"; not merely potential. Entity owners must guarantee.
