Houlihan Lokey entered into a Second Amendment to its Credit Agreement on August 19, 2025, increasing revolving commitments from $100 million to $150 million and extending the facility's maturity to August 19, 2030.

Tapestry's Human Resources Committee approved a one-time special equity grant to CEO Joanne Crevoiserat with a target grant date fair value of $15 million, under the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan. The award is split equally between performance-based restricted stock units tied to a non-GAAP earnings per share target for fiscal 2028 and time-based restricted stock units, both vesting on the third anniversary of the grant date. The filing says the grant aims to support retention and succession planning, which adds a large one-time pay cost tied to future performance.

On August 20, 2025, MSCI Inc. entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that increases its aggregate revolving commitments to $1.60 billion from $1.25 billion and extends the availability period to August 20, 2030.
