The credit agreement provides for senior unsecured credit facilities comprised of a (i) five-year revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount up to $1.25 billion, and (ii) a five-year term loan A facility consisting of $250 million. The agreement contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including a financial covenant in the form of a consolidated net leverage ratio and consolidated interest coverage ratio. We incurred approximately $4.0 million of costs related to this agreement. Acquisitions: On May 31, 2019, we completed the acquisition of certain assets of Knewton, Inc. (“Knewton”), included in our Publishing segment. Knewton is a provider of affordable courseware and adaptive learning technology for an undisclosed amount.
