    Question

    Erik L. Suppiger asked for the rationale behind refinancing the company's debt agreement to increase access to capital, particularly when the option to repatriate offshore cash was also available.

    Answer

    Robert J. Pera, Founder, CEO and Chairman, explained that the financing process began when the ability to repatriate cash was not yet certain.
