NOTE 10 – CENTRE LANE SENIOR SECURED CREDIT FACILITY

Effective June 1, 2020, the Company entered into a membership interest purchase agreement to acquire 100% of CL Media Holdings, LLC, which is now a subsidiary of the Company (the “Purchase Agreement”). To finance the acquisition, the Company obtained a first lien senior loan in the amount of $16.5 million, comprised of $15.0 million of initial indebtedness, repayment of the existing accounts receivable factoring facility of Wild Sky Media, which was a subsidiary of CL Media Holdings, LLC, of approximately $900,000, and approximately $500,000 of expenses, from, and entered into a secured credit facility with, Centre Lane Partners Master Credit Fund II, L.P. (“Centre Lane Partners”).

Additional Draws

As of March 31, 2026, Centre Lane Partners had loaned the Company an additional $39.9 million through Amendments One through Eight (the “Second Out Loans”), Amendments Nine through Sixteen and Nineteen (the “First Out Loans”), and Amendments Seventeen and Twenty-One (the “Third Out Loans”) to provide liquidity to fund operations. The Nineteenth Amendment Term Loan had a maturity date of December 31, 2024, and the loan balance was repaid. The Centre Lane Senior Secured Credit Facility has been determined to qualify as a related party transaction as shares were issued to Centre Lane Partners as part of the transaction. A related party is a party that can exercise significant influence over the Company in making financial and/or operating decisions.

On December 26, 2024, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into the Twenty-First Amendment to the Credit Agreement with Centre Lane Partners for the purpose of securing a bond to stay execution of a judgment in the amount of approximately $1.7 million that was entered against the Company as a result of certain disclosed litigation (the “Ladenburg litigation”), as the Company intends to appeal the judgment. The Company borrowed an additional $1.9 million from the Lenders, which funds were used to secure the bond. Amounts drawn pursuant to the Twenty-First Amendment, including all accrued but unpaid principal and interest thereon, will mature and become payable in December 2026. Interest to be paid in cash accrues at a rate of 0% per annum, and interest to be paid in kind accrues at a rate of 15% per annum. For further information on this judgment, see Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies, to the consolidated financial statements.

In connection with the Twenty-First Amendment, and as consideration therefore, the Company agreed to issue a number of shares of the common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share, equal to 2.5% of the fully diluted pro forma ownership of the Company, or 5,001,991 shares of the common stock, to an affiliate of the Lenders.

Optional Prepayment

The Company may, at any time, voluntarily prepay, in whole or in part (with a minimum prepayment of $250,000) the outstanding principal of the loans, plus any accrued but unpaid interest on the aggregate principal amount of the loans being prepaid. There is no prepayment penalty associated with the Centre Lane Senior Secured Credit Facility. However, partial or full prepayments of the Centre Lane Senior Secured Credit Facility is required in the event of certain future capital raises.

Fees

Under the terms of the Centre Lane Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Company is required to pay Centre Lane Partners a non-refundable annual administration fee equal to $35,000 for agency services. The Centre Lane Senior Secured Credit Facility provides that this fee shall be, in all respects, fully earned, due and paid in kind by the Company on the effective date of the Centre Lane Senior Secured Credit Facility, and on each anniversary of the effective date during the term of the agreement by adding and capitalizing the full amount of such fee to the outstanding principal balance of the loans. The accumulated administrative fee since inception of the facility is $210,000 and is included in outstanding principal. There was no administrative fee charged during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Amendments

Commencing April 2021, the Company and certain subsidiaries entered into various amendments to the Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Facility. The Credit Agreement was amended a number of times to provide for additional loans used for working capital and acquisitions. In addition, as part of the transaction, there are exit fees (the "Exit Fees"), which are added and capitalized to the principal amount of the original loan. As of March 31, 2026, there were 25 amendments to the Credit Agreement.

Consistent with FASB ASC Topic 470, Debt (“ASC 470”), the Company is required to perform an analysis of the change in each amendment to determine whether the change is a modification or an extinguishment of debt. Under a modification, no gain or loss is recorded, and a new effective interest rate is established based on the carrying value of the debt and revised cash flow. If the debt is extinguished, the old debt is derecognized and the new debt is recorded at fair value, which becomes the new carrying value. A gain or loss is recorded for the difference between the net carrying value of the original debt and the fair value of the new debt. Additionally, in the event the transaction is with a related party, this gain or loss should be recognized against additional paid-in capital. Interest expense is recorded based on the effective interest rate of the new debt. A debt is considered extinguished if the present value of the new cash flows under the term of the new debt is at least 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the old debt.

Our debt financing arrangements, including long-term debt, expose us to counterparty credit risk as they are solely with a single related party lender. We manage this risk by closely monitoring the related party's financial stability and ensuring it maintains a strong credit rating. No other financial institutions are involved in our debt obligations. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying value of the Centre Lane Senior Secured Credit Facility was $86.8 million and $84.3 million, respectively, net of unamortized debt discount of $1.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively. The discount is being amortized over the remaining life of the Centre Lane Senior Secured Credit facility using the effective interest method.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded amortization of debt discount of $460,000 on the Centre Lane Senior Secured Credit Facility. Amortization of debt discount for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $633,000.
