2024 Credit Agreement

 

On January 23, 2024, Purple LLC, Purple Inc. and Intellibed (collectively, the “Loan Parties”) entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), which amended and restated the then existing term loan agreement (“Term Loan Agreement”), with Coliseum Capital Partners (“CCP”) and other lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”) and Delaware Trust Company, as administrative agent. The Lenders agreed to assume the Loan Parties’ obligations under the Term Loan Agreement and refinance their existing obligations. A term loan in the amount of $61.0 million (the “Related Party Loan”) was funded by the Lenders that repaid in full the $25.0 million of term loans outstanding, repaid in full the $5.0 million of asset based lending loans outstanding, paid fees, premiums and expenses incurred in connection with this transaction, and provided net proceeds to the Company (after payments of outstanding debt, unpaid accrued interest and expenses) equal to approximately $27.0 million. Interest on the Related Party Loan is payable each month and the principal outstanding matures and is due on December 31, 2026. The Company has elected for interest to be capitalized and added to the principal amount of the loan. The Related Party Loan bears interest at a rate equal to (i) the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York plus 0.10%, with a floor of 3.5% per annum, plus (ii) 8.25% per annum (or, if Purple LLC elects to pay interest in kind to reduce it cash obligations, 10.25% per annum). Any prepayments of principal on or after August 7, 2024, but before August 7, 2025, are subject to a prepayment penalty of 1.25%, and any prepayments of principal on or after August 7, 2025, are subject to a prepayment penalty of 2.50%. The Loan Parties may request an additional term loan from the Lenders in an aggregate amount not to exceed $19.0 million on terms requested by them to the extent agreed to by the Lenders at their discretion. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also removed restrictions and requirements typically associated with an asset-based loan. Total fees and expenses of $3.5 million were recorded as debt issuance costs in the first quarter of 2024 and are being amortized over the life of the loan.

 

In connection with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company issued 20.0 million warrants (the “2024 Warrants”) to the Lenders (see Note 11 – Warrant Liabilities). These 2024 Warrants include full-ratchet anti-dilution protections, subject to a floor of $0.8502 with respect to adjustments to the exercise price and expire on January 23, 2034. The 2024 Warrants had a fair value of $19.6 million upon issuance and were recorded as a debt discount and are being amortized over the life of the loan.

 

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement granted a security interest to the Lenders in substantially all of the assets (subject to certain limited exceptions) of the Loan Parties to secure the Loan Parties’ loans and other obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including a security interest in the intellectual property owned by the Loan Parties.

 

The Loan Parties (other than Purple LLC) provided an unconditional guaranty of the payment of all obligations and liabilities of Purple LLC under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

 

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also provides for standard indemnification of the Lenders and contains representations, warranties and certain covenants of the Loan Parties. While any amounts are outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Loan Parties are subject to a number of affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants regarding dispositions of property, investments, forming or acquiring subsidiaries, business combinations or acquisitions, incurrence of additional indebtedness and transactions with affiliates, among other customary covenants. The Loan Parties are also restricted from paying dividends or making other distributions or payments on their capital stock, subject to limited exceptions.

2025 Amendment

 

On March 12, 2025, the Loan Parties, entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2025 Amendment” and the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as so amended, the “Amended A&R Credit Agreement”) with CCP and Blackwell Partners LLC – Series A (“Blackwell”) (collectively the “2025 Lenders”), which amends the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The 2025 Amendment, among other things, provides for an increase in the initial principal amount of the Related Party Loan by $19.0 million (the “First Incremental Loan”) from an initial Related Party Loan principal amount of $61.0 million to an initial aggregate principal amount of $80.0 million, and allows the Loan Parties to request one or more additional term loans from the 2025 Lenders in an initial aggregate principal amount not to exceed $20.0 million on terms to be agreed to by the parties and subject to the approval of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). The First Incremental Loan will bear interest at the same rate as the Initial Loan (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), which may be paid in cash or in kind at the Company’s option.

 

The 2025 Amendment also provides that (i) the First Incremental Loan shall be senior in right of repayment to the Related Party Loan and (ii) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayment in part or in full of the First Incremental Loan for any reason, the Company will be required to pay an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Make-Whole Premium (as defined below) and (ii) 2.50% of the aggregate principal amount of the First Incremental Loan so prepaid, replaced or assigned. The “Make-Whole Premium” is determined as follows: on the date of prepayment, the excess of (A) (x) 100% of the principal amount of such First Incremental Loan, plus (y) the present value at such date of all remaining scheduled interest payments due on such First Incremental Loan from the prepayment date through the maturity date, assuming that all such interest accrues at the Make-Whole Premium Rate (as defined in the 2025 Amendment), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of such prepayment date plus 50 basis points, over (B) the principal amount of such First Incremental Loan on such prepayment date.

 

The 2025 Amendment requires prepayment from certain amounts of proceeds received by the Company related to asset dispositions, equity issuances, incurrence of indebtedness, and extraordinary receipts. Additionally, upon an event of default, the 2025 Lenders may declare all or any portion of the term loan then outstanding to be accelerated and due and payable, immediately, including the prepayment premium. The Company determined that these features qualify as a derivative and must be bifurcated from the debt, but such value is de minimis. The Company will reassess whether the derivative has more than a de minimis value at each reporting period.

 

The 2025 Amendment also includes contingent interest upon an event of default at a rate of 2%. Certain non-credit related factors qualify as a derivative and must be bifurcated from the debt, but such value is de minimis.

 

In addition, the Company also paid (i) an amendment fee equal to 2% of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Related Party Loan held by the 2025 Lenders, paid in kind and (ii) a 2% work fee of the initial aggregate principal amount of the First Incremental Loan paid to the 2025 Lenders, deducted from the proceeds at closing. Total fees and expenses of $2.1 million were recorded as a debt discount upon issuance of the Incremental Loan and are being amortized over the life of the loan.

 

In connection with the 2025 Amendment, the Company issued to the 2025 Lenders, warrants (the “2025 Warrants”) to purchase 6.2 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $1.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments (see Note 11 – Warrant Liabilities). These 2025 Warrants include full-ratchet anti-dilution protections, subject to a floor of $0.6979 with respect to adjustments to the exercise price and expire on March 12, 2035. The 2025 Warrants had a fair value of $5.4 million upon issuance and were recorded as a debt discount upon issuance of the Incremental Loan and is being amortized over the life of the loan.

 

The 2025 Amendment was evaluated and determined to be a modification of debt since the 2025 Lenders did not grant a concession as the effective borrowing rate was not reduced, and the 2025 Amendment terms were not substantially different from the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Second 2025 Amendment

 

On May 2, 2025, the Loan Parties entered into a Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second 2025 Amendment”) with the 2025 Lenders, which amends the Amended A&R Credit Agreement. The Second 2025 Amendment, among other things, provides for a commitment increase in the initial principal amount of the senior secured term loan facility by $20.0 million (the “Second Incremental Loan”) from an aggregate principal amount of up to $80.0 million (the “Existing Loan”) to an initial aggregate principal amount of up to $100.0 million (the “Loan”) and allows the Loan Parties to request one or more additional term loans from the Lenders in an initial aggregate principal amount not to exceed $20.0 million on terms to be agreed to by the parties and subject to the approval of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Amended A&R Credit Agreement). The Second Incremental Loan will bear interest at the same rate as the Existing Loan, which may be paid in cash or in kind at the Company’s option. 

 

The Second 2025 Amendment also provides that (i) the Second Incremental Loan shall be senior in right of repayment to the initial $61.0 million loan under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and pari passu with the First Incremental Loan and (ii) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayment in part or in full of the Second Incremental Loan for any reason, the Company will be required to pay an amount equal to the greater of (a) the Make-Whole Premium (as defined below) and (b) 2.5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Second Incremental Loan so prepaid, replaced or assigned. The “Make-Whole Premium” is determined as follows: on the date of prepayment, the excess of (A) (x) 100% of the principal amount of such Second Incremental Loan, plus (y) the present value at such date of all remaining scheduled interest payments due on such Second Incremental Loan from the prepayment date through the maturity date, assuming that all such interest accrues at the Make-Whole Premium Rate (as defined in the Second 2025 Amendment), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of such prepayment date plus 50 basis points, over (B) the principal amount of such Second Incremental Loan on such prepayment date.

 

In addition, the Company also paid (i) an amendment fee equal to 0.25% of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Existing Loan held by the Lenders, paid in kind to the 2025 Lenders, (ii) a work fee equal to 0.1% of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Existing Loan, paid in cash to the Required Lenders, (iii) a waiver fee, to induce the Required Lenders to waive certain preemptive and right of first refusal rights, equal to 0.15% of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Existing Loan, paid in cash to the Required Lenders, and (iv) a commitment fee equal to $150,000, paid in cash to the Required Lenders.

 

In connection with the Second 2025 Amendment, the Company issued to the 2025 Lenders, warrants (the “2025 Additional Warrants”) to purchase 6.6 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $1.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments (see Note 11 – Warrant Liabilities). These 2025 Additional Warrants include full-ratchet anti-dilution protections, subject to a floor of $0.6979 with respect to adjustments to the exercise price and expire on March 12, 2035. The 2025 Additional Warrants had a fair value of $5.4 million upon issuance and were recorded as a debt discount upon issuance of the Incremental Loan and is being amortized over the life of the loan.

 

The Second 2025 Amendment was evaluated and determined to be a modification of debt since the 2025 Lenders did not grant a concession, as the effective borrowing rate was not reduced, and the 2025 Amendment terms were not substantially different from the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

 

The Company has elected to have interest paid-in-kind and added to the principal amount of the loans. Interest expense under the Related Party Loan, the First Incremental Loan and the Second Incremental Loan for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, consisted of paid-in-kind interest of $4.0 million and $6.8 million, respectively, and debt issuance cost amortization of $3.5 million and $5.7 million, respectively. Interest expense under the Related Party Loan for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, consisted of paid-in-kind interest of $2.5 million and $4.4 million, respectively, and debt issuance cost amortization of $1.9 million and $3.3 million, respectively. The effective interest rate was 14.67% and 14.68% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and 15.68% and 15.78% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

 

As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as amended by the 2025 Amendment and the Second 2025 Amendment.
