We maintain the Credit Agreement, which provides for a term loan of $40.0 million and a $25.0 million revolving credit facility with an original maturity of December 22, 2025.

The March 2025 Amendment provided, among other things, that the Lenders’ commitment under our revolving credit facility would be capped at the amount outstanding thereunder as of the date thereof and thus we are unable to make additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The March 2025 Amendment also established certain Refinancing Milestones in connection with the refinancing of the Credit Agreement (the “Refinancing”), including receipt of a term sheet or commitment letter from one or more potential lenders, by the dates provided in the March 2025 Amendment, and the Company's consummation of the Refinancing by June 30, 2025. Pursuant to the March 2025 Amendment, the Lenders also agreed not to assert any breaches of the financial covenants included in the Credit Agreement for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 provided that we continued to comply with our payment obligations, achieved the Refinancing Milestones, maintained minimum liquidity (defined as the sum of (a) unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and (b) the amount by which the aggregate amount committed under the Company’s revolving credit facility exceeds the total amount drawn under the credit facility) of $3.5 million and provided the administrative agent with certain financial reports. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the March 2025 Amendment the applicable interest rate margin was increased such that interest rate was equal to a rate per annum based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 400 bps and amortization payments were revised so that a proportionate payment must be made on a monthly rather than a quarterly basis.

Pursuant to the terms of the August 2025 Amendment, the Lenders also agreed not to test the financial covenants for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025, provided that the Company continues to comply with its payment obligations, maintain minimum liquidity (defined as the sum of (a) unrestricted cash and (b) the amount by which the aggregate amount committed under the Company’s revolving credit facility exceeds the total amount drawn under the credit facility) of $3.0 million and provides the administrative agent with certain financial reports.

The failure to accomplish such steps on the agreed timeline shall constitute an event of default under the Credit Agreement. In such event, in addition to other actions the Lenders may require, the amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement may become immediately due and payable.
Previous wording
The Company continues to explore alternative sources of capital that would allow it to refinance the outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, but its ability to access such other sources of capital is uncertain. There is no assurance that such capital will be available, be obtainable on commercially acceptable terms, or provide the Company with sufficient funds to meet its objectives. Based on its anticipated cash flows from operations, unless the Company is able to access other sources of capital or extend the date for repayment under the Credit Agreement, the Company will be unable to pay its debt obligations and fund its operations for at least twelve months from the date of issuance of the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
