2021 Credit Agreement
In January 2021, the Company entered into a credit agreement which provides for a revolving credit facility (2021 Credit Facility) and the Company amended the agreement in March 2023, August 2025, and February 2026 (collectively, the 2021 Credit Agreement). Under the 2021 Credit Agreement, the Company may borrow up to an aggregate amount of $35.0 million until the Borrowing Base Conversion Date (the date on which the lender implements a borrowing base following completion of an appraisal, field exam and other collateral diligence measures), unless the Company’s asset coverage ratio is less than 1.50, which would subject the amount that may be borrowed to a customary borrowing base calculation. With the February 2026 amendment, the testing of the asset coverage ratio changed from quarterly to monthly until the Borrowing Base Conversion Date. The asset coverage ratio is defined as the ratio of (i) the sum of (a) the Company’s cash and cash equivalents in the United States plus specified percentages of other qualified debt investments (Qualified Cash) plus (b) specified percentages of the net book values of the Company’s accounts receivable and certain inventory to (ii) $50.0 million. After the Borrowing Base Conversion Date, the amount that may be borrowed under the 2021 Credit Agreement is based on a customary borrowing base calculation, and up to $50.0 million. The February 2026 amendment extended the maturity of the 2021 Credit Agreement to June 2027, changed the interest rate at which borrowed funds accrue interest, and changed the liquidity minimums, all of which are further discussed below. The February 2026 amendment was accounted for as a debt modification, resulting in no gain or loss as there was no unamortized debt issuance costs at the time of modification. Upon termination of the 2021 Credit Agreement in June 2027, any outstanding borrowings will become due and payable.
Borrowed funds accrue interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to either (i) a per annum rate equal to the base rate plus a margin of 2.50% or (ii) a per annum rate equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus a 10 basis point premium and a margin of 3.50%. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the 2021 Credit Facility of 0.25% per annum. Amounts owed under the 2021 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s United States subsidiaries and secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (including intellectual property registrations and applications, which is subject to an intercreditor agreement).
The 2021 Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default. The negative covenants include restrictions on the incurrence of liens and indebtedness, certain investments, dividends, stock repurchases, and other matters, all subject to certain exceptions. In addition, the Company is required to maintain liquidity (the sum of unused availability under the 2021 Credit Facility and the Company’s Qualified Cash) of at least (i) $25.0 million from February 27, 2026 through June 30, 2026, (ii) $30.0 million during the period from July 1, 2026 through July 31, 2026, (iii) $35.0 million during the period from August 1, 2026 through August 31, 2026, and (iv) $40.0 million from September 1, 2026 through the maturity date (of which at least $10.0 million shall be attributable to Qualified Cash during all periods), and maintain a minimum unused availability under the credit facility of at least $10.0 million after the Borrowing Base Conversion Date. The 2021 Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default that include, among other things, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, violation of certain covenants, cross default to certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments and change of control. Upon an event of default, the lender may, subject to customary cure rights, require the immediate payment of all amounts outstanding.
For the period ended December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the liquidity and asset coverage ratio financial covenants contained in the 2021 Credit Agreement; however, the 2021 Credit Agreement also required the Company to be in compliance with the financial covenants within the 2025 Credit Agreement. The Company was not in compliance with the 2025 Credit Agreement asset coverage ratio of 1.25x or the minimum EBITDA covenant of not less than $10.0 million for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2025 and subsequently cured the non-compliance by entering into an amendment on February 27, 2026. For the period ended March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with the liquidity and asset coverage ratio financial covenants contained in the 2021 Credit Agreement; however, the Company was not in compliance with the minimum asset coverage ratio of 1.05x under the 2025 Credit Agreement. On May 8, 2026, the Company received a waiver from the Lender under the 2025 Credit Agreement waiving the asset coverage ratio non-compliance as of March 31, 2026. There are outstanding letters of credit under the 2021 Credit Agreement which total $9.2 million for certain duty-related requirements which were not collateralized by any cash on hand. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $25.5 million outstanding under the 2021 Credit Agreement and had zero available to draw.
Notwithstanding the waiver received on May 8, 2026, the Company concluded that substantial doubt exists about its ability to continue as a going concern, as further described in Note 1 Summary of business and significant accounting policies. Based on the Company’s current financial forecasts, the Company does not expect to be able to comply with its financial covenants under the 2021 Credit Agreement and the 2025 Credit Agreement within the next twelve months. The Company is actively evaluating potential remediation options, including seeking waivers or amendments from its lenders; however, no waiver or amendment, other than for the existing waiver, has been obtained as of the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, and there can be no assurance that any such relief will be obtained. Given the absence of a waiver or amendment obtained prior to the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, ASC 470-10-45 Debt requires the Company to classify as current, all obligations under the 2021 Credit Agreement, 2025 Credit Agreement and the Convertible Debentures, as direct default and cross-default provisions embedded in each respective agreement could, upon an event of default, permit the applicable lenders to declare all outstanding principal and accrued interest immediately due and payable. As a result, the outstanding balance under the 2021 Credit Agreement has been classified as short-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026.
2025 Credit Agreement
On August 4, 2025, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Farallon Capital Management, L.L.C., as administrative agent and collateral agent (the Agent), and Mateo Financing, LLC (the Lender) and the Company amended the credit agreement on November 5, 2025 and February 27, 2026 (collectively, the 2025 Credit Agreement). The 2025 Credit Agreement provides for a second lien credit facility up to $50.0 million (the 2025 Term Loan). The 2025 Credit Agreement will mature, and any outstanding borrowings become due and payable on January 22, 2028. The February 2026 amendment revised the (i) minimum liquidity for the remaining term of the 2025 Credit Agreement, (ii) removed the EBITDA minimums for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2025 and for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2026, (iii) revised the EBITDA minimum for the remainder of the 2025 Credit Agreement, and (iv) revised the minimum asset coverage ratio for periods on or prior to March 31, 2026, all of which are disclosed below. The amendment on February 27, 2026 of the 2025 Credit Agreement was accounted for as a debt extinguishment, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $8.9 million, which was recorded in other income (expense), net, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
In connection with the amendment on February 27, 2026 to the 2025 Credit Agreement, the Company entered into the IEEPA Agreement with the Lender on February 19, 2026, pursuant to which the Company transferred to the Lender certain of the Company’s rights and claims for potential refunds of tariffs previously paid under IEEPA, representing an aggregate claim amount of approximately $19.4 million (the IEEPA Claim). On the date of transfer, the Company assigned no value to the IEEPA Claim on the condensed consolidated balance sheet due to the significant uncertainty of any potential recovery prior to the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump. As a result of the IEEPA Agreement, the Company will not have rights to any future proceeds from the transferred IEEPA Claim. The Company accounted for the transfer of the IEEPA Claim as a derivative liability and classified the derivative liability as a Level 2 financial instrument as discussed in Note 2 Fair value measurements. Despite the Company assigning no value to the IEEPA Claim on the condensed consolidated balance sheet on the date of transfer, the Company assigned an $8.7 million value to the IEEPA Claim obligation as of February 27, 2026, and recorded the derivative liability within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The IEEPA Claim obligation is remeasured at each reporting period, with changes in value recorded in other income (expense), net, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2026, the IEEPA Claim obligation was remeasured at $14.6 million.
Borrowed funds accrue interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to either (i) the applicable one or three-month SOFR, plus a 10 basis point premium for one-month SOFR or 15 basis point premium for three-month SOFR, plus 7.5%, or (ii) the Base Rate plus 6.50%. The Base Rate is defined as the greater of (i) the Wall Street Journal prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or (iii) a one-month adjusted term SOFR plus 1.00%. During an event of default, the applicable interest rates are increased by 2.0% per annum. For Base Rate loans, the Company will pay interest on a quarterly basis and at the maturity date. For SOFR rate loans, the Company will pay interest at least quarterly, or more frequently, as defined in the 2025 Credit Agreement, and at the maturity date. The Company shall make quarterly principal payments on the 2025 Term Loan, with the remaining principal due on the maturity date. Under the 2025 Credit Agreement, the Company may be obligated to pay additional amounts which would allow for a minimum return. The 2025 Term Loan is subject to mandatory prepayment in certain cases involving asset dispositions, debt issuances, certain receipts of cash proceeds from insurance and other extraordinary receipts, and a change in control. The Company is required to apply 25% of excess cash flow to repay the 2025 Term Loan. Prepayments of the 2025 Term Loan, whether optional or mandatory, before, on or after January 22, 2028, or as a result of any acceleration of the 2025 Term Loan as a result of an event of default, require a prepayment premium in an amount set forth in the 2025 Credit Agreement. Amounts owed under the 2025 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, and are secured by a second lien security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries.
The 2025 Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants. The negative covenants include restrictions on the incurrence of liens and indebtedness, certain investments, dividends, stock repurchases and other matters, all subject to certain exceptions. The financial covenants require (a) the Company to maintain liquidity (defined as the sum of
unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and availability under the 2021 Credit Agreement) of at least (i) $25.0 million during the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2026, (ii) $30.0 million during the fiscal month ending July 31, 2026, (iii) $35.0 million during the fiscal month ending August 31, 2026 and (iv) $40.0 million during any fiscal month thereafter; (b) the Company not to have EBITDA (as defined in the 2025 Credit Agreement) of (i) less than $5.0 million, subject to adjustment, for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2026, (ii) less than zero, subject to adjustment, for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2026, (iii) less than zero for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2026, (iv) less than $20.0 million for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2027, (v) less than $30.0 million for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2027, (vi) less than $35.0 million for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2027, and (vii) less than $40.0 million for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2027 and thereafter; and (c) the Company not to permit an asset coverage ratio (defined as the ratio of (x) the sum of unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and certain receivables and inventory, divided by (y) the sum of accounts payable and total debt (as defined in the 2025 Credit Agreement) of less than (i) 1.05:1.00 on or prior to March 31, 2026 or (ii) 1.15:1.00 thereafter. The EBITDA thresholds for fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2026 are subject to potential adjustments in the event of a reduction in tariff amounts in Malaysia or Thailand (or both) to a level that is 10% or lower, as described in further detail in the 2025 Credit Agreement. To the extent there are adjustments to the tariff rates of only one of the countries, the corresponding adjustments will be apportioned accordingly.
The 2025 Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default that include, among other things, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, violation of certain covenants, cross default to certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments, change of control and certain material ERISA events. An event of default would also occur in the event the Company fails to maintain the listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq stock market for a period of 30 consecutive days. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the acceleration of the obligations under the 2025 Credit Agreement.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the outstanding principal under the 2025 Term Loan was $49.4 million and $49.8 million, respectively, the unamortized debt issuance cost was zero and $1.9 million, respectively, the unamortized debt discount was $4.7 million and $3.6 million, respectively, and the net carrying amount of the liability was $44.7 million and $44.3 million, respectively, which was recorded as short term debt as of March 31, 2026 and long-term debt as of December 31, 2025 within the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded $1.4 million and zero, respectively, of interest expense, and $0.5 million and zero, respectively, for amortization of the debt discount. For the period ended December 31, 2025, the Company was not in compliance with the asset coverage ratio of 1.25x or minimum EBITDA covenant of not less than $10.0 million for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2025 and the Company subsequently cured the non-compliance by entering into an amendment on February 27, 2026.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company was not in compliance with the minimum asset coverage ratio of 1.05x under the 2025 Credit Agreement. On May 8, 2026, the Company received a waiver from the Lender under the 2025 Credit Agreement waiving the asset coverage ratio non-compliance as of March 31, 2026. No fees or consideration were paid in connection with the waiver.
Notwithstanding the waiver received on May 8, 2026, the Company concluded that substantial doubt exists about its ability to continue as a going concern, as further described in Note 1 Summary of business and significant accounting policies. Based on the Company’s current financial forecasts, the Company does not expect to be able to comply with its financial covenants under the 2021 Credit Agreement and 2025 Credit Agreement within the next twelve months. The Company is actively evaluating potential remediation options, including seeking waivers or amendments from its lenders; however, no waiver or amendment, other than for the existing waiver, has been obtained as of the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, and there can be no assurance that any such relief will be obtained. Given the absence of a waiver or amendment obtained prior to the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, ASC 470-10-45 Debt requires the Company to classify as current all obligations under the 2021 Credit Agreement, the 2025 Credit Agreement, the Convertible Debentures, as direct default and cross-default provisions embedded in each respective agreement could, upon an event of default, permit the applicable lenders to declare all outstanding principal and accrued interest immediately due and payable. As a result, the outstanding balance under the 2025 Credit Agreement has been
classified as short-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026.
On August 4, 2025, in connection with the 2025 Credit Agreement, and as subsequently amended on November 5, 2025, the Company issued an aggregate of 11,076,968 warrants to purchase shares of its common stock, which can be exercised at a price of $0.75. The warrants were initially valued at $3.2 million using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and are marked-to-market with any changes in fair value recorded through earnings. The warrants were classified as a Level 3 financial instrument as discussed in Note 2 Fair value measurements. The warrants may be exercised at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time, on August 1, 2035. Exercise of the warrants will dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders. Any warrants not exercised prior to such time will expire.
Securities Purchase Agreement
On February 27, 2026, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (Securities Purchase Agreement) with YA II PN, Ltd. (YA II PN), a fund of Yorkville Advisors Global, LP, in connection with the issuance and sale by the Company of convertible debentures (the Convertible Debentures) issuable in an aggregate principal amount of up to $50.0 million. The Convertible Debentures will be convertible into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Common Stock) (as converted, the Conversion Shares). Conversion of the Convertible Debentures will dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, YA II PN purchased $25.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Debentures upon the signing of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Subject to certain closing conditions, YA II PN would have been able to purchase an additional $5.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Debentures on the day prior to the filing of the Initial Registration Statement (defined below); however, the closing conditions were not met. YA II PN may still purchase and the Company may issue an additional $20.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Debentures on or about the second business day following the satisfaction of certain additional closing conditions, including gaining effectiveness of the Initial Registration Statement by May 15, 2026. If the closing conditions for the third tranche of Convertible Debentures are not met and remain uncured, then the Company may trigger an event of default under the Convertible Debentures.
In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (Registration Rights Agreement) with YA II PN pursuant to which YA II PN is entitled to certain registration rights under the Securities Act, and YA II PN has been granted demand registration rights and piggyback registration rights in addition under certain conditions. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company was required to file a preliminary prospectus registration statement on Form S-1, which was filed on March 20, 2026 with the SEC, to register the resale by YA II PN of all Conversion Shares (Initial Registration Statement) and is required to have the Initial Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC by May 15, 2026. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Initial Registration Statement has not been declared effective. Failure to have the Initial Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC by May 15, 2026 would constitute a default under the Convertible Debentures, which if uncured within the timeframe set forth therein, could give rise to an event of default thereunder.
The Convertible Debentures accrue interest at 0% per annum, unless (i) certain interest rate adjustment events occur, upon which the Convertible Debentures will bear interest at an annual rate of 5.00% until such interest rate adjustment event is resolved, or (ii) the Company has issued Conversion Shares that reaches a capped level within the first six months or an event of default occurs and remains uncured, upon which the Convertible Debentures will bear interest at an annual rate of 18.00%. The Convertible Debentures will mature in August 2027, unless previously redeemed. The Convertible Debentures may be redeemed prior to maturity if the volume weighted average price of the Company’s stock is less than $1.1453 on the date the redemption notice is delivered, with a redemption premium of 7% of the principal amount being paid. The Convertible Debentures will be issued at an original issue discount of 3.00%.
The Convertible Debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into Common Stock equal to the applicable Conversion Amount divided by the Conversion Price. The conversion price for the Convertible Debentures will be the lower of (i) $1.1453, or (ii) 98% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion or other date of determination, but which shall not be lower than $0.1736, (the Conversion Price).
The Conversion Amount with respect to any requested conversion will equal the principal amount requested to be converted plus all accrued and unpaid interest on the Convertible Debentures as of such conversion, with fractional shares rounded up (the Conversion Amount). In addition, no conversion will be permitted to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, the holder together with the certain related parties would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion, subject to certain adjustments.
The Company shall not issue any Common Stock upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures held by YA II PN if the issuance of such Common Stock underlying the Convertible Debentures would exceed the aggregate number of Common Stock that the Company may issue upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures in compliance with the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of Nasdaq Stock Market (the Exchange Cap). The Exchange Cap will not apply under certain circumstances, including if the Company obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market for issuances of Common Stock in excess of such amount, or if the Company obtains a written opinion from outside counsel that such stockholder approval is not required. In addition, for the first six months following the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company shall not issue any Conversion Shares to the extent that the aggregate number of Conversion Shares that the Company has issued would exceed 47,650,000 common shares. Any portion of the Convertible Debentures may be converted at any time and from time to time, subject to the Exchange Cap.
The Company determined that the conversion feature of the Convertible Debentures created a derivative liability that required bifurcation from the host debt instrument. At the issuance date, the derivative liability had a fair value of $30.9 million and was recorded in other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The resulting total debt discount, considering the original issue discount, fair value of the conversion feature and debt issuance costs, was limited to the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Debentures of $25.0 million. The total debt discount of $25.0 million is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Debentures. The excess of the derivative liability fair value of $7.6 million was recognized as derivative expense in other income (expense), net, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The fair value of the derivative liability was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation and changes in the fair value were recorded in other income (expense), net, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of the derivative liability was $30.7 million and zero, respectively.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the outstanding principal of the Convertible Debentures was $25.0 million and zero, respectively, the unamortized debt issuance cost was $0.9 million and zero, respectively, the unamortized debt discounts were $22.6 million and zero, respectively, and the net carrying amount of the liability was $1.5 million and zero, respectively, which was recorded as short-term debt within the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded $0.1 million and zero, respectively, for amortization of debt issuance costs, and $1.5 million and zero, respectively, for amortization of the debt discounts.
Based on the Company’s current financial forecast, the Company does not expect to be able to comply with its financial covenants under the 2021 Credit Agreement and 2025 Credit Agreement within the next twelve months. The Company is actively evaluating potential remediation options, including seeking waivers or amendments from its lenders; however, no waiver or amendment, other than for the existing waiver, has been obtained as of the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, and there can be no assurance that any such relief will be obtained. Given the absence of a waiver or amendment obtained prior to the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, ASC 470-10-45 Debt requires the Company to classify as current all obligations under the 2021 Credit Agreement, the 2025 Credit Agreement, and the Convertible Debentures, as direct default and cross-default provisions embedded in each respective agreement could, upon an event of default, permit the applicable lenders to declare all outstanding principal and accrued interest immediately due and payable. As a result, the outstanding balance under the Convertible Debentures has been classified as short-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026.
