In a 'PIK Toggle' scenario, if a company switches from cash-pay to PIK, what is the most likely immediate impact on its Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR)?

  1. The DSCR worsens because total interest expense remains high.
  2. The DSCR improves significantly because cash interest (a denominator in many DSCR variations) decreases.
  3. The DSCR remains unchanged because EBITDA is the same.
  4. The DSCR is no longer applicable because there is no cash debt service.
