The Company
We are a technology driven lease-to-own (“LTO”) platform that integrates with omnichannel retailers and e-commerce platforms to power the purchasing of everyday durable goods for underserved U.S. non-prime customers. We were founded and incorporated in Delaware in 2012. We primarily operate within the virtual LTO market.
Background
Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement
On June 12, 2025, Katapult SPV-1 LLC (the “Borrower”), Katapult Group, Inc. (“Group”), the Company, Midtown Madison Management LLC (the “Agent”) and the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Refinancing Agreement”), which amended and restated in full the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of May 14, 2019 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented, revised, or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof), by and among Borrower, Group, the Company, the Agent, and the lenders party thereto (the “Existing Credit Agreement”).
The Refinancing Agreement provides for an amended and upsized revolving credit facility (the “New Revolving Facility”) in an initial committed amount of $110,000,000, which represents a continuation in full of the revolving credit facility under the Existing Credit Agreement, with all of the revolving advances outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement having been automatically converted into (and are deemed to be) revolving advances under the New Revolving Facility, and with the New Revolving Facility including a tranche of $20,000,000 of new commitments. Advances made and outstanding under the New Revolving Facility may not exceed the lesser of (x) $110,000,000 and (y) the product of an advance rate of 91.00% (increasing to (a) 95.00% following a Requisite Stockholder Approval (as defined herein), (b) 96.00% on the earlier of September 1, 2025 and the first day of the next calendar month following the occurrence of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, (c) 97.00% on October 1, 2025 and (d) 99.00% on November 1, 2025 through the maturity date described below) multiplied by an adjusted current lease balance for eligible leases pledged as collateral under the Refinancing Agreement. The New Revolving Facility matures on the Maturity Date (as defined below).
The Refinancing Agreement also provides for an amended term loan facility (the “New Term Loan”) in an initial principal amount of $32,654,469.23, representing a continuation of, on a cashless conversion basis, the term loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement (including any outstanding original issue discount and accrued and unpaid interest). The maturity date applicable to the New Term Loan is the earlier of (x) December 4, 2026 and (y) if, by September 1, 2025, the conversion of the New Term Loan and/or fees and interest thereon (the “Conversion Amount”) into Conversion Stock (as defined herein) upon the Term Loan Conversion, the issuance of the Warrant Shares (as defined herein) upon the exercise of the Warrants and, if needed, an amendment to the charter to increase the authorized and unissued Common Stock has not been duly authorized by all requisite action of the Company, its board of directors and a majority of votes cast by the Company’s stockholders (the “Requisite Stockholder Approval”), September 1, 2025 (such earlier date, the “Maturity Date”). The New Term Loan will not amortize.
Borrowings under the New Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to a term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”)-based rate, subject in each case to a 3% floor and an applicable credit adjustment spread of 0.10%, plus 7.00% per annum. The New Term Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to 18.00%, which interest accrues to the principal balance as paid-in-kind (“PIK”) interest on a weekly basis.
The Refinancing Agreement contains certain financial covenants, each as defined in the Refinancing Agreement, including Minimum Trailing Three-Month Net Origination levels, Minimum Liquidity and compliance with a Term Advance Rate. The Refinancing Agreement is also subject to certain negative and affirmative covenants. The negative covenants limit our ability to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness; pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions; amend our material agreements; make investments; create liens; transfer or sell the collateral or other assets; make negative pledges; consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; and enter into certain transactions with affiliates.
Following the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, on or at any time after the earliest to occur of (i) the date that is twelve (12) months from date of receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, (ii) June 30, 2026 or (iii) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Refinancing Agreement) that is then continuing under and as defined in the Refinancing Agreement, Class B Lenders (as defined in the Refinancing Agreement) holding 51% or more of the New Term Loans shall have the right to cause all Class B Lenders to convert up to 100% of the outstanding New Term Loans in a minimum Conversion Amount (as defined in the Refinancing Agreement) of $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount if such lesser amount constitutes the remaining outstanding advances under the Term Loan), into duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company (“Conversion Stock”) plus cash in lieu of fractional shares (the “Term Loan Conversion”). The number of shares of Conversion Stock issuable upon any such conversion shall be determined by dividing (x) the relevant Conversion Amount by (y) the greater of (A) $2.00 per share of Conversion Stock, subject to adjustment and (B) a price per share of Conversion Stock at a discount (the “Discount”) of 50% to the average of the volume-weighted average prices of the Common Stock of the Company for the 20 consecutive trading day period ending on the date of the applicable notice of conversion (the “VWAP Period”); provided, however, that in the event that the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock of the Company on any such trading day during the VWAP Period exceeds $10.00 per share, for each $0.50 per share increase in excess of $10.00, the Discount shall be reduced by 5%, up to $15.00 per share, at and above which the Discount shall be 0%. The Term Loan may be repaid at any time prior to the Term Loan Conversion without any prepayment penalty or fee. The Company, Group and Borrower intend to continue to pursue strategic alternatives to repay the Term Loan, including equity capital raises, a sale of the business or refinancing the Refinancing Agreement. There can be no assurances that these efforts will be successful. If the Company, Group or the Borrower enters into an agreement for a transaction that, after consummation thereof, results in (x) the stockholders of the Company ceasing to own a majority of the total voting power of the Company, or the Company or the stockholders of the Company ceasing to directly or indirectly own a majority of the consolidated total assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole and (y) all outstanding amounts under the loans under the Refinancing Agreement being repaid in full, and if approval, consent or clearance under antitrust or other laws or regulations is required in order to consummate such transaction, then the Company, Group and/or the Borrower may temporarily suspend the exercisability of any conversion right described above for a period of up to 120 days in order to permit the Company, Group and/or the Borrower to seek and obtain such approval, consent or clearance (and if all such approvals, consents and/or clearances are received within such 120 day period, the Company, Group and/or the Borrower may further extend such suspension for ten days to facilitate the consummation of such transaction).
The Refinancing Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, Group and the Company, subject to certain exceptions. Group and the Company guarantee payment of all obligations of the Borrower under the Refinancing Agreement.
In connection with the Refinancing Agreement the Lenders also waived certain Existing Defaults (as defined in the Refinancing Agreement) existing as of the closing date, with such waiver subject to occurrence of the Requisite Stockholder Approval before September 1, 2025.
The rights of the Lenders under the Refinancing Agreement are fully transferable and assignable.
In connection with the Refinancing Agreement, the Company issued Warrants as described below.
Warrants
The Company issued the Warrants to certain entities affiliated with Blue Owl (each a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”) on June 12, 2025 (the “Issue Date”) in connection with the Refinancing Agreement. The Warrants expire on June 12, 2032.
The Warrants entitle the Holders to purchase up to an aggregate of 486,264 shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, subject to adjustment as described below. The Warrants may be exercised upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the completion of the Requisite Special Stockholder Meeting (as defined in the Refinancing Agreement) (regardless of the outcome of the vote); (ii) upon any cancellation or revocation of the Requisite Special Stockholder Meeting; (iii) an Acquisition (as defined in the Refinancing Agreement); (iv) the repayment in full of all Obligations (as defined in the Refinancing Agreement) under the Refinancing Agreement; (v) the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Refinancing Agreement that has not been waived in accordance with the terms thereof; (vi) the revocation of any waiver of Existing Defaults (as defined in the Refinancing Agreement) in accordance with the terms of the Refinancing Agreement; or (vii) the date that is six months from the Issue Date.
The Warrants may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis. Each Warrant may be exercised upon surrender of such Warrant, together with a notice of exercise, to the Company. Promptly after the Holder of the Warrant exercises the Warrant and, if applicable, the Company receives payment for the shares issuable upon such exercise, the Company will deliver to such Holder in uncertificated book-entry form the number of shares acquired or, if requested by the Holder, a certificate, and, if the Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, a new warrant of like tenor representing a warrant to purchase the shares not yet acquired. If, upon exercise of a Warrant, the applicable Holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to such Holder and eliminate the fractional interest by paying such Holder the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full share, as determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrant.
The Holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Common Stock of the Company or any voting rights with respect to the Warrant Shares unless and until they exercise the Warrants and receive shares of Common Stock. After the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants, in whole or in part, the Holders will be entitled to one (1) vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.
If the Company, at any time while the Warrants are outstanding: (a) pays a dividend on the shares payable in Common Stock, (b) subdivides the outstanding shares into a greater number of shares, (c) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (d) issues by reclassification of shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each such case (i) the exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the exercise price then in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which equals the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event (excluding treasury shares, if any), and the denominator of which equals the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event (excluding treasury shares, if any), and (ii) the number of shares issuable under the Warrants will be concurrently adjusted by multiplying such number by the reciprocal of such fraction. Such adjustments will take effect on the effective date of such dividend, subdivision, combination or issuance by reclassification, as the case may be.
Upon the closing of any Acquisition, the Warrants will become exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for the shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of the Warrants as if such shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition and subsequent closing, and the exercise price shall be adjusted accordingly; provided, however, that (i) in the event of an Acquisition in which the consideration to be received by the Company’s stockholders consists solely of cash, solely of Marketable Securities (as defined in the Warrants) or a combination of cash and Marketable Securities (a “Cash/Public Acquisition”), and the fair market value of one share as determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrants would be greater than the exercise price in effect on such date immediately prior to such Cash/Public Acquisition, and the Holders have not exercised the Warrants in full, then the Warrants shall automatically be deemed to be cashless exercised as to all shares for which it has not been previously exercised effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of such Cash/Public Acquisition, and (ii) in the event of a Cash/Public Acquisition where the fair market value of one share as determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrants would be less than the exercise price in effect immediately prior to such Cash/Public Acquisition, then the Warrants will expire immediately prior to the consummation of such Cash/Public Acquisition.
The Transferred Warrants
We issued the Transferred Warrants on March 6, 2023 in connection with our entry into the Fifteenth Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement, dated May 14, 2019, by and among, Katapult SPV-1 LLC, Katapult Holdings, Inc., Midtown Madison Management LLC and each of the lenders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”). We subsequently transferred the Transferred Warrants on July 21, 2025. The Transferred Warrants expire on March 6, 2030.
The Transferred Warrants entitled Midtown Madison Management LLC and its assignees to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, subject to adjustment as described below. We granted 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock under the Transferred Warrants on March 6, 2023. Such shares became vested and the Transferred Warrants exercisable for such shares of Common Stock on September 6, 2023. An additional 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock were granted under the Transferred Warrants on December 5, 2023. Such shares became vested and the Transferred Warrants exercisable for such shares on March 5, 2024.
As a result of the Company’s one-for-twenty-five reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) effective as of July 27, 2023, proportionate adjustments were made to the Company’s outstanding warrants, resulting in the Transferred Warrants, being exercisable for up to 160,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share.
As of September 30, 2024, Atalaya, of which Midtown Madison Management LLC is an affiliate, was acquired by Blue Owl.
On July 21, 2025, pursuant to the terms of the Transferred Warrants, Midtown Madison Management LLC assigned the Transferred Warrants, and the Company transferred the Transferred Warrants, to certain entities affiliated with Blue Owl.
