Bloomberg reports U.S. personalized photo products leader Shutterfly has sweetened terms on a portion of its previously announced debt refinancing, in a bid to calm the nerves of investors concerned about potential AI disruption and widening losses.

The Apollo Global Management Inc.-backed firm offered creditors a raft of concessions on its $1.15 billion junk bond, according to documents seen by Bloomberg. Among the sweeteners, Shutterfly materially restricted its ability to pay dividends, make investments and ship money beyond investors’ reach, the documents showed.
