Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility — WhiteHorse Capital Management, LLC (“WhiteHorse”)
On November 9, 2023, the Company, only with respect to certain limited sections thereof, and certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a credit agreement with WhiteHorse that consisted of a senior secured term loan of $185.0 million (“Term Loan”) as well as a senior secured revolving credit facility of $25.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan, the “Credit Facilities”). Borrowings under the Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate at the Company’s option of either (1) Term SOFR for a specified interest period (at the Company’s option) of one to three months plus an applicable margin of up to 6.50% or (2) a base rate plus an applicable margin of up to 5.50%. The Term SOFR rate is subject to a “floor” of 1.0%. The applicable margins for Term SOFR rate and base rate borrowings are each subject to a reduction as set forth in the credit agreement if the Company maintains a first lien net leverage ratio of less than 2.25:1.00 and greater than or equal to 1.75:1.00 and less than 1.75:1.00, respectively. The Term Loan’s interest rate was 10.38% as of December 31, 2025. Interest is paid on the last business day of each quarter, except at maturity. For the year ended December 31, 2025, total interest expense for the Term Loan, including amortization of original issue discount of $0.8 million and amortization of issuance costs of $0.2 million, was $20.9 million. For the year ended December 31, 2024, total interest expense for the Term Loan, including amortization of original issue discount of $0.8 million and amortization of issuance costs of $0.2 million, was $22.9 million. The credit agreement became effective on November 15, 2023.
Principal payments of approximately $0.5 million are due on the last business day of each quarter. The maturity date of the Credit Facilities is November 15, 2028.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no amounts outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility.
The Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all of the Company’s subsidiaries’ assets. The Term Loan agreement restricts cash dividends and other distributions from the Company’s subsidiaries to the Company and also restricts the Company’s ability to pay cash dividends to its stockholders.
The Credit Facilities are subject to customary financial covenants, including the Total Net Leverage Ratio, defined as, with respect to any period end, the ratio of (a) Consolidated Total Debt (as defined in the credit agreement) to (b) Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement); and First Lien Net Leverage Ratio defined as, with respect to any period end, the ratio of (a) Consolidated First Lien Debt (as defined in the credit agreement) to (b) Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement).
The Total Net Leverage Ratio is set at 6.25:1.00 for quarterly periods ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024; 5.75:1.00 for the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024; 5.50:1.00 for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025, and September 30, 2025; and 5.25:1.00 for periods ended December 31, 2025 and thereafter. The First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is set at 3.50:1.00 for quarterly periods ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024; 3.00:1.00 for the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024; 2.75:1.00 for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025, and September 30, 2025; and 2.50:1.00 for periods ended December 31, 2025 and thereafter.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company was in compliance with the Credit Facilities’ covenants.
Backstop Notes
On September 30, 2021, a subsidiary of the Company issued the first tranche of the Backstop Notes, consisting of $95.1 million in senior unsecured exchangeable notes due 2028 to a lender and its affiliates. On October 28, 2021, the Company’s subsidiary issued a second and final tranche of Backstop Notes in the amount of $24.9 million. The Backstop Notes are guaranteed by the Company and are due September 30, 2028.
The Backstop Notes were issued at par and bear interest at a rate of 5.50% per annum which is paid semi-annually on March 30 and September 30 of each year. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, total interest expense for the Backstop Notes, including amortization of issuance costs of $0.4 million, was $7.0 million for each period. The Backstop Notes are exchangeable into common stock of the Company at $62.50 per share (the “Base Exchange Rate”) at any time at the option of the lender. At the Base Exchange Rate, the Notes are exchangeable for approximately 1.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock but limited to 9.9% of common shares outstanding. The Base Exchange Rate may be adjusted for certain dilutive events or change in control events as defined by the Indenture (the “Adjusted Exchange Rate”).
After September 30, 2023 and prior to the fifth business day after the last quarter end before the maturity date, if the Company’s shares of common stock are trading at a defined premium to the Base Exchange Rate or applicable Adjusted Exchange Rate, the Company may pay or deliver, as the case may be, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Backstop Notes being exchanged, cash, shares of its common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock.
The Backstop Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture which contains financial covenants related to the Company’s maximum total debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company was in compliance with the Backstop Notes’ covenants.
