OPORTUN FINANCIAL CORPORATION
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
September 30, 2024
1. Organization and Description of Business
Oportun Financial Corporation (together with its subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise, "Oportun" or the "Company") is a mission driven financial services company that puts its members’ financial goals within reach. With intelligent borrowing, savings, and budgeting capabilities, the Company empowers members with the confidence to build a better financial future. Oportun takes a holistic approach to serving its members and views as its purpose to responsibly meet their current capital needs, help grow its members' financial profiles, increase their financial awareness and put them on a path to a financially healthy life. Oportun offers access to a comprehensive suite of products powered by A.I., offered either directly or through partners, including unsecured and secured lending, and savings. The Company is headquartered in San Carlos, California. The Company has been certified by the United States Department of the Treasury as a Community Development Financial Institution ("CDFI") since 2009.
Segments
Segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Chief Financial Officer are collectively considered to be the CODM. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company’s operations constitute a single reportable segment.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation ‑ The Company meets the SEC's definition of a “Smaller Reporting Company”, and therefore qualifies for the SEC's reduced disclosure requirements for smaller reporting companies. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These statements are unaudited and reflect all normal, recurring adjustments that are, in management's opinion, necessary for the fair presentation of results. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior-period financial information has been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, the information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the "Annual Report"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 15, 2024.
Use of Estimates ‑ The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Accounting Policies - There have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies from those described in Part II, Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in the Annual Report, except for the new accounting pronouncements subsequently adopted as noted below.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
None.
Accounting Standards to be Adopted
Income Taxes - In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires entities to disclose in their rate reconciliation table additional categories or information about federal, state and foreign income taxes and to provide more details about the reconciling items in some categories if the items meet a quantitative threshold and requires annual disclosure of income taxes paid to be disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. While early adoption is permitted, the Company will adopt the standard, effective January 1, 2025. The Company has evaluated the effect of the new guidance and determined the ASU expands tax disclosures but it will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Segment Reporting - In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures . The ASU enhances disclosures about significant segment expenses, provides new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, enhances interim disclosure requirements, clarifies circumstances in which an entity is permitted to disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss and other disclosure requirements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early
8
adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated the effect of the new guidance and determined that the expanded segment disclosures will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
3. Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated as follows:
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands, except share and per share data) 2024 2023 2024 2023
Net loss $ ( 29,956 ) $ ( 21,138 ) $ ( 87,420 ) $ ( 138,127 )
Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders $ ( 29,956 ) $ ( 21,138 ) $ ( 87,420 ) $ ( 138,127 )
Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding 39,964,322 38,283,071 39,562,204 36,333,570
Weighted average effect of dilutive securities:
Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding 39,964,322 38,283,071 39,562,204 36,333,570
Earnings (loss) per share:
Basic $ ( 0.75 ) $ ( 0.55 ) $ ( 2.21 ) $ ( 3.80 )
Diluted $ ( 0.75 ) $ ( 0.55 ) $ ( 2.21 ) $ ( 3.80 )
The following common share equivalent securities have been excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding because the effect is anti-dilutive for the periods presented:
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
2024 2023 2024 2023
Stock options 2,014,626 2,832,953 2,301,996 3,052,422
Restricted stock units 4,904,183 3,438,484 4,196,294 3,707,561
Total anti-dilutive common share equivalents 6,918,809 6,271,437 6,498,290 6,759,983
4. Variable Interest Entities
Variable interest entities ("VIEs") are legal entities that either have an insufficient amount of equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or, as a group, the holders of equity investment at risk lack the ability to direct the entity's activities that most significantly impact economic performance through voting or similar rights, or do not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses or the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity.
For all VIEs in which the Company is involved, it assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE on an ongoing basis. In circumstances where the Company has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the benefits of the VIE that could be significant, it would conclude that it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, and it consolidates the VIE. In situations where the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, it does not consolidate the VIE and only recognizes its interests in the VIE. In addition, on June 16, 2023 and August 3, 2023, the Company entered into forward flow whole loan sale agreements that are considered secured borrowings and are not considered VIEs. See Note 8, Borrowings for additional information on the secured borrowing under the caption of asset-backed borrowings at amortized cost.
Consolidated VIEs
As part of the Company’s overall funding strategy, the Company transfers a pool of designated loans receivable to wholly owned special-purpose subsidiaries to collateralize certain asset-backed financing transactions. For these VIEs where the Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary because it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance and the obligation to absorb the losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the VIEs, the VIEs assets and related liabilities are consolidated with the results of the Company. Such power arises from the Company’s contractual right to service the loans receivable securing the VIEs’ asset-backed debt obligations. The Company has an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that are potentially significant to the VIEs because it retains the residual interest of each asset-backed financing transaction in the form of an asset-backed certificate. Accordingly, the Company includes the VIEs’ assets, including the assets securing the financing transactions, and related liabilities in its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Each consolidated VIE issues a series of asset-backed securities that are supported by the cash flows arising from the loans receivable securing such debt. Cash inflows arising from such loans receivable are distributed monthly to the transaction’s lenders and related service providers in accordance with the transaction’s contractual priority of payments. The creditors of the VIEs above have no recourse to the general credit of the Company as the primary beneficiary of the VIEs and the liabilities of the VIEs can only be settled by the respective VIE’s assets. The Company retains the most subordinated economic interest in each financing transaction through its ownership of the respective residual interest in each VIE. The Company has no obligation to repurchase loans receivable that initially satisfied the financing transaction’s eligibility criteria but subsequently became delinquent or a defaulted loans receivable.

5. Loans Held for Sale and Loans Sold
Other Loan Sales - The Company enters into agreements to sell certain populations of its personal loans and credit card receivables from time to time, including non-performing loans and credit card receivables originated as held for investment. The sold loans were accounted for under the fair value option. The loan sales qualified for sale accounting treatment and the Company derecognized these loans from its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited) at the end of the quarter in which the loans were sold.
Whole Loan Sale Program ‑ The Company enters into whole loan sale agreements with third parties in which we agree to sell newly originated unsecured personal loans and secured personal loans.
The originations of loans sold and held for sale during the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $ 32.3 million and the Company recorded a gain on sale of $ 0.7 million and servicing revenue of $ 1.6 million. The originations of loans sold and held for sale during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $ 15.9 million. The gain on sale recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $ 2.4 million. Servicing revenue during the same time period was $ 2.2 million.

The originations of loans sold and held for sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $ 41.6 million. The gain on sale recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $ 6.1 million. Servicing revenue during the same time period was $ 7.7 million.
Oportun® Visa® Credit Card - On June 21, 2024, the Company entered into a nonbinding letter of intent with a third-party to sell the credit cards receivable portfolio originated under the Company's credit card program. Following the execution of the nonbinding letter of intent, the portfolio was considered to be held for sale and is presented within credit cards receivable held for sale on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited). The Company has elected the fair value option for the credit card portfolio and, as a result, the Company recorded a net decrease in fair value of $ 36.2 million associated with the terms contained within the nonbinding letter of intent. On September 24, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its credit cards receivable portfolio.

13. Income Taxes
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company calculated its year-to-date income tax expense (benefit) by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to the year-to-date income from operations before income taxes and adjusts the income tax expense (benefit) for discrete tax items recorded in the period.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded income tax benefit of $ 9.5 million and $ 31.7 million, respectively, related to continuing operations, representing an effective tax rate of 24.1 % and 26.6 %, respectively. Income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $ 16.2 million and $ 58.2 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 43.4 % and 29.7 %, respectively.
16
Income tax benefit decreased by $ 6.7 million or 41 %, from $ 16.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $ 9.5 million benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily as a result of the discrete tax impacts of unrecognized tax benefits and return to provision adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Income tax benefit decreased by $ 26.6 million or 46 %, from $ 58.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $ 31.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily as a result of having a lower pretax loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company's effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 differ from the statutory tax rates primarily due to the impacts of the research and development tax credit, and stock-based compensation.
The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax positions in income tax expense. At the end of 2024, the Company expects it will no longer be subject to any significant U.S. federal tax examinations by tax authorities for all years prior to 2021. Thus, the Company expects to release $ 3.4 million of uncertain tax positions within the next twelve months due to the expiration of various statute of limitations.
In December 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion Profit Shifting released Model Global Anti-Base Erosion rules (“Model Rules”) under Pillar Two. The Model Rules set forth the “common approach” for a Global Minimum Tax at 15 percent for multinational enterprises with a turnover of more than 750 million euros. Rules under Pillar Two were effective from January 1, 2024. The Company does not expect adoption of Pillar Two rules to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements during fiscal year 2024.

The Company calculates the fair value of the asset-backed notes using independent pricing services and broker price indications, which are based on quoted prices for identical or similar notes, which are Level 2 input measures.
The Company primarily uses a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of Level 3 instruments based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. This model uses inputs that are inherently judgmental and reflect management’s best estimates of the assumptions a market participant would use to calculate fair value. The following tables present quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used for the Company’s Level 3 fair value measurements for Loans Receivable at Fair Value. The personal loans receivable balance at fair value as of September 30, 2024, consists of $ 2,572.7 million of unsecured personal loans receivable and $ 155.8 million of secured personal loans receivable.

Fair value adjustments related to financial instruments where the fair value option has been elected are recorded through earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Certain unobservable inputs may (in isolation) have either a directionally consistent or opposite impact on the fair value of the financial instrument for a given change in that input. When multiple inputs are used within the valuation techniques for loans, a change in one input in a certain direction may be offset by an opposite change from another input.
For personal loans receivable, the Company developed an internal model to estimate the fair value of loans receivable held for investment. To generate future expected cash flows, the model combines receivable characteristics with assumptions about borrower behavior based on the Company’s historical loan performance. These cash flows are then discounted using a required rate of return that management estimates would be used by a market participant.
17
The Company tested the unsecured personal loan fair value model by comparing modeled cash flows to historical loan performance to ensure that the model was complete, accurate and reasonable for the Company’s use. The Company also engaged a third party to create an independent fair value estimate for the Loans Receivable at Fair Value, which provides a set of fair value marks using the Company’s historical loan performance data and whole loan sale prices to develop independent forecasts of borrower behavior.

(2) On September 24, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its credit cards receivable portfolio to a third-party credit card marketer and servicer. As of September 30, 2024, the Company determined the fair value of the credit cards receivable portfolio based on the terms outlined in the definitive agreement signed September 24, 2024.
The Company has derivative instruments in connection with its bank partnership program with Pathward, N.A. related to excess interest proceeds it expects to receive on loans retained by Pathward, N.A. Based on the agreement underlying the bank partnership program, for all loans originated and retained by Pathward, Pathward receives a fixed interest rate. The Company bears the risk of credit loss and has the benefit of any excess interest proceeds after satisfying various obligations under the agreement. The fair value of the derivative instrument as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, were $ 12.7 million and $ 9.3 million, respectively. The underlying cash flows as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, were $ 16.1 million and $ 12.2 million, respectively. The following table presents quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used for the Company’s Level 3 fair value measurements for derivative instruments presented within Other Assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited):

On September 24, 2024, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell the credit cards receivable portfolio originated under the Company's Credit Card program. Following the decision to sell the credit cards receivable portfolio the Company used the agreed upon sale price to determine the fair value. Prior to this decision, the Company used historical data to derive assumptions about certain loan portfolio characteristics such as principal payment rates, interest yields and fee yields. Similar to the model used for personal loans receivable, the Company engaged a third party to create an independent fair value estimate, which provides a range of fair values that are compared for reasonableness.
For the derivative, the Company uses a base set of cash flows derived from historical data and management assumptions. From this base set of cash flows, funds that are projected to be released to the Company according to the contractual terms outlined in the waterfall agreement are calculated on an aggregate basis then discounted at a rate that is representative of equity yield.
The table below presents a reconciliation of Loans Receivable at Fair Value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs:

As of December 31, 2023, the Company estimates the carrying value of asset-backed borrowings at amortized cost to approximate their fair value as the underlying cash flows and associated assumptions are reviewed and updated each period.
The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate fair value:
• Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts payable ‑ The carrying values of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts payable, approximate Level 1 fair values of these financial instruments due to their short-term nature.
• Loans held for sale ‑ The fair values of loans held for sale are based on a negotiated agreement with the purchaser.
• Secured financing, acquisition and corporate financing ‑ The fair values of the secured financing, and acquisition and corporate financing facilities have been calculated using discount rates equivalent to the weighted-average market yield of comparable debt securities, which is a Level 2 input measure.
• Asset-backed borrowings at amortized cost ‑ The fair values of the asset-backed borrowings at amortized cost include both securitizations carried at amortized cost and secured borrowings. We obtain indicative pricing on comparable debt securities for securitizations carried at amortized cost, which is a Level 2 input measure. Fair values of secured borrowings included in asset-backed borrowings at amortized cost have been calculated by discounting the contractual cash flows at the interest rate the Company estimates such arrangement would bear if executed in the current market, which is a Level 3 input measure.
There were no transfers in or out of Level 3 assets and liabilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2023.
15. Leases, Commitments and Contingencies
Leases - The Company’s leases are primarily for real property consisting of retail locations and office space and have remaining lease terms of less than 7 years.
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company recognized an impairment of the right-of-use asset related to the leased office space in San Carlos, California of $ 6.2 million due to a significant decrease in observed market rents for commercial office space, and the inability to find sub-
19
lessee given the remaining lease term and market conditions. The impairment charges were recognized in General, administrative and other in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company has elected the practical expedient to keep leases with terms of 12 months or less off the balance sheet as no recognition of a lease liability and a right-of-use asset is required. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term in "Technology and facilities" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited).
All of the Company’s existing lease arrangements are classified as operating leases. At the inception of a contract, the Company determines if the contract is or contains a lease. At the commencement date of a lease, the Company recognizes a lease liability equal to the present value of the lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the Company's right to use the underlying asset for the duration of the lease term. The Company’s leases include options to extend or terminate the arrangement at the end of the original lease term. The Company generally does not include renewal or termination options in its assessment of the leases unless extension or termination for certain assets is deemed to be reasonably certain. Variable lease payments and short-term lease costs were deemed immaterial. The Company’s leases do not provide an explicit rate. The Company uses its contractual borrowing rate to determine lease discount rates.
As of September 30, 2024, maturities of lease liabilities, excluding short-term leases and leases on a month-to-month basis, were as follows:

Rental expenses under operating leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, were $ 2.6 million, and $ 9.8 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, were $ 4.3 million, and $ 13.4 million, respectively.
Purchase Commitments ‑ The Company has commitments to purchase information technology and communication services in the ordinary course of business, with various terms through 2027. These amounts are not reflective of the Company’s entire anticipated purchases under the related agreements; rather, they are determined based on the non-cancelable amounts to which the Company is contractually obligated. The Company’s purchase obligations are $ 11.0 million for the remainder of 2024, $ 33.4 million in 2025, $ 17.7 million in 2026, $ 2.1 million in 2027 and $ 0.0 million in 2028.
Bank Partnership Program and Servicing Agreement - The Company entered into a bank partnership program with Pathward, N.A. on August 11, 2020. In accordance with the agreements underlying the bank partnership program, Oportun has a commitment to purchase an increasing percentage of program loans originated by Pathward based on thresholds specified in the agreements. Lending under the partnership was launched in August of 2021. After Pathward has met its retention requirement, the Company has a commitment to purchase all additional program loans.
Unfunded Loan and Credit Card Commitments - Unfunded loan and credit card commitments at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $ 27.2 million and $ 32.9 million, respectively. WebBank has a direct obligation to borrowers to fund such credit card commitments subject to the respective account agreements with such borrowers; however, pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement between WebBank and Oportun, Inc., the Company has the obligation to purchase receivables from WebBank representing these unfunded amounts.
Mexico Value-added Tax - In October 2023, the Company's Mexico subsidiary received notice from Mexico's Servicio de Administración Tributaria, the Mexican federal tax authority, for claims related to the alleged underpayment of value-added tax, including inflationary adjustments, fines and penalties for tax years 2017-2019. The Company disputes that there were underpayments in any of those years, and intends to pursue all available administrative and legal avenues of appeal to assert its position. No accrual related to this matter has been recorded as of September 30, 2024, as the Company believes it is not probable to be incurred. However, it is reasonably possible the Company will be unsuccessful in asserting at least some of these claims, and for those claims, the Company believes it may be exposed to a liability ranging from zero to $ 3.8 million, consisting of $ 1.2 million of value-added tax and $ 2.6 million of inflationary adjustments, fines and penalties. These estimates are subject to change based on the results of the administrative and legal appeal processes, however, timing of the resolution of this issue is unknown.
Litigation
From time to time, the Company may bring or be subject to other legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including legal proceedings with third parties asserting infringement of their intellectual property rights, consumer litigation, and regulatory proceedings. The Company is not presently a party to any other legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to the Company, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
See Part II. Item 1. Legal Proceedings for additional information regarding legal proceedings in which the Company is involved.
16. Related Party Transactions
On September 14, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to borrow $ 150.0 million of a senior secured term loan with certain funds associated with Neuberger Berman Specialty Finance ("Neuberger").

The Company believes that it has executed all the transactions described herein on terms no less favorable to it than it could have obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
17. Subsequent Events
Credit Cards Receivable Sale
On November 12, 2024, (the “Credit Cards Receivable Sale Closing”) the Company completed the sale of the credit cards receivable portfolio to Continental Finance, a leading U.S. credit card marketer and servicer. As a result, the Company de-recognized its Credit Card Receivables Held for Sale in exchange for cash proceeds of $ 51.2 million. The Company used the proceeds from the sale to pay off the Credit Card Warehouse facility.
Termination of the Card Program Agreements - In connection with the Credit Cards Receivable Sale Closing and pursuant to a program winddown agreement, the Amended and Restated Credit Card Program and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 5, 2021, by and between the Company and WebBank, and other related documents, terminated effective November 10, 2024.

Refinance of Corporate Financing
On October 23, 2024, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Oportun, Inc., as borrower, certain affiliates of Castlelake and funds managed by Neuberger as lenders, and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Refinancing Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company will borrow $ 235 million of senior secured term loans (the “Term Loans”).
The funding of the Term Loans (the “Closing”) shall be subject to certain closing conditions, including the repayment of the Company's existing senior secured term loans and residual financing facility , and is conditioned upon the completion of the sale of the Company's credit cards receivable portfolio, which occurred on November 12, 2024.
The Refinancing Credit Agreement contains certain representations, warranties and covenants, as well as indemnification obligations, in respect of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, subject to specified exceptions and qualifications contained in the Refinancing Credit Agreement.
The Term Loans will bear interest at an amount equal to 15 % per year, of which 2.5 % may be payable in-kind at the Company’s election. The Term Loans are scheduled to mature four years from the date of the Closing. Under the Refinancing Credit Agreement, the Company will be required to repay $ 12.5 million of the Term Loans on or prior to July 31, 2025 and an additional $ 27.5 million of the Term Loans on or prior to January 31, 2026.

22
one-year anniversary of the Closing, in each case not subject to a prepayment premium. Voluntary prepayment of the Term Loans in excess of certain thresholds and with certain other exceptions as set forth in the Refinancing Credit Agreement, will be subject to a prepayment premium.
The obligations under the Refinancing Credit Agreement are secured by the assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries guaranteeing the Term Loans, including pledges of the equity interests of certain subsidiaries that are directly or indirectly owned by the Company, subject to customary exceptions.
The Refinancing Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring the maintenance of minimum liquidity and a maximum adjusted EBITDA-based corporate leverage covenant, together with other customary affirmative and negative covenants, representations and warranties and events of default.
Under the Refinancing Credit Agreement, at the Closing the Company will also issue warrants (the “Warrants”), at an exercise price of $ 0.01 per share, to affiliates of Castlelake and Neuberger to purchase an aggregate amount of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 9.8 % of the fully-diluted shares outstanding of the Company, excluding out-of-the-money options, on a pro-forma basis for the warrants. The Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the applicable holders of the Warrants (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), which stipulates that the Company will file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the shares underlying the Warrants.
