Ares Credit Agreement
  
On December 18, 2023 (the “Ares Closing Date”), the Company and all of its subsidiaries entered into a new senior secured credit facility (the “Ares Credit Agreement”) with Ares Capital Corporation and certain credit funds affiliated with Ares Capital Corporation (collectively, “Ares”). The Ares Credit Agreement provided for a total of $135.0 million in senior secured credit facilities (the “Ares Credit Facility”) consisting of (i) a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $62.5 million and (ii) a revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $72.5 million (collectively, the “Ares Loans”), both of which were fully drawn on the Ares Closing Date. The Ares Credit Facility had a maturity date of December 20, 2027 (the “Ares Maturity Date”).
  
Borrowings under the term loan bore interest at the adjusted Term SOFR for a three‑month tenor in effect on the day that is two business days prior to the first day of the applicable calendar quarter plus 6.50% (the “Initial SOFR Term Loan Applicable Margin”). Borrowings under the revolving facility bore interest at the adjusted Term SOFR for a three‑month tenor in effect on the day that is two business days prior to the first day of the applicable calendar quarter plus 3.75% (the “SOFR Revolving Facility Applicable Margin”). As of December 31, 2024, the interest rate on the term loan was approximately 10.85%, and the interest rate on the revolving facility was approximately 8.34%.
  
On the Ares Maturity Date, the Company was required to pay Ares the entire outstanding principal amount underlying the Ares term loan and revolving loan (together, the “Ares Loans”) and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Prior to the Ares Maturity Date, there were no scheduled principal payments on the Ares Loans. The Ares Credit Agreement permitted prepayment of the outstanding principal under the revolving facility, together with any accrued but unpaid interest on the prepaid principal amount, at any time and from time to time upon three business days’ prior written notice with no prepayment premium. However, in the event the Company paid down an aggregate amount under the revolving facility that is greater than 50% of the $72.5 million commitment amount, or $36,250,000, the Company was still required to pay an amount of interest on the revolving facility that would have been payable had $36,250,000 been outstanding, through the Ares Maturity Date. The Ares Credit Agreement permitted prepayment of the outstanding principal on the term loan, together with any accrued but unpaid interest on the prepaid principal amount, at any time and from time to time upon three business days’ prior written notice, subject to the payment to Ares of a prepayment premium equal to (i) 1.5% of the prepaid principal amount, if prepaid after the first anniversary of the Ares Closing Date and on or prior to the second anniversary of the Ares Closing Date or (ii) 1.0% of the prepaid principal amount, if prepaid on or prior to the third anniversary of the Ares Closing Date.
In May 2025, the Company repaid $30.0 million against the term loan using a draw of $30.0 million against the revolving credit facility made in May 2025, as a result of which, the Company recorded debt extinguishment losses of $1.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. In August 2025, the Company repaid all obligations outstanding under the Ares Credit Agreement using the proceeds from the JPM Credit Agreement, defined below, and recorded related debt extinguishment losses of $2.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
  
JPM Credit Agreement
  
On August 5, 2025 (the “JPM Closing Date”), the Company and all of the Company’s subsidiaries entered into a Credit Agreement (the “JPM Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The JPM Credit Agreement provides for $300 million of senior secured credit facilities, consisting of (a) a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $75 million (the “JPM Term Loan Facility”), which was drawn in full on the JPM Closing Date, and (b) a revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $225 million (the “JPM Revolving Facility”). The Company may also request, subject to customary conditions, additional incremental revolving commitments or term loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $100 million (together with the JPM Term Loan Facility and the JPM Revolving Facility, the “JPM Credit Facilities”). The JPM Term Loan Facility has a maturity date of August 5, 2028 (the “JPM Term Maturity Date”) and the JPM Revolving Facility has a maturity date of August 5, 2028 or any earlier date on which the commitments under the JPM Revolving Facility are reduced to zero or otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms of the JPM Credit Agreement (the “JPM Revolving Maturity Date”).
  
Interest on borrowings under the JPM Credit Facilities will accrue at an applicable rate equal to (i) an alternate base rate plus an applicable spread (each such borrowing, an “ABR Borrowing”) or (ii) Term SOFR plus an applicable spread (each such borrowing, a “Term Benchmark Borrowing”), in each case based on the lower of the applicable rates set forth in the JPM Credit Agreement, which are based on the Company’s total leverage ratio. These applicable spreads range from 150 basis points to 200 basis points over the alternate base rate and 250 basis points to 300 basis points over Term SOFR, in each case, as determined in accordance with the provisions of the JPM Credit Agreement. The Company has agreed to pay a commitment fee at specified rates set forth in the JPM Credit Agreement, which, based on the Company’s total leverage ratio, ranges from 30 basis points to 35 basis points on the daily amount of the undrawn portion of the aggregate commitments of the lenders under the JPM Revolving Facility. At the Company’s request, each borrowing initially shall be either an ABR Borrowing or a Term Benchmark Borrowing, and the Company may thereafter elect to convert any such borrowing to a different type. During the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the JPM Credit Agreement), all borrowings shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the applicable rate. As of September 30, 2025, the interest rate on the JPM Term Loan Facility was approximately 6.75%. No borrowings were outstanding under the JPM Revolving Facility as of September 30, 2025.
  
On the JPM Revolving Maturity Date, the Company will repay the unpaid principal amount outstanding under the JPM Revolving Facility. Under the JPM Term Loan Facility, the Company will make principal payments in accordance with and on the dates specified in the amortization schedule set forth in the JPM Credit Agreement, with the remaining unpaid principal amount to be paid in full on the JPM Term Maturity Date. The Company may prepay at any time and from time to time any borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (other than, if applicable, any break funding expenses), subject to customary notice requirements.
  
All of the Company’s obligations under the JPM Credit Agreement are secured by a first-priority lien and security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets, including intellectual property and equity interests, of the Company and all of its subsidiaries.
  
The JPM Credit Agreement contains certain representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants and conditions that are customarily required for similar debt financings. The negative covenants include certain financial covenants, including a maximum total leverage ratio of 2.50 to 1.00 and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.20 to 1.00. The negative covenants also restrict or limit the Company’s ability and the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to, among other things and subject to certain exceptions contained in the JPM Credit Agreement, incur new indebtedness; create liens on assets; engage in certain fundamental corporate changes; make certain investments; dispose of certain assets; engage in sale and leaseback transactions or swap agreements; make certain Restricted Payments (as defined in the JPM Credit Agreement); engage in certain affiliate transactions; enter into any other agreements that have the impact of restricting the Company’s ability to make loan repayments under the JPM Credit Agreement; or amend certain material documents.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants in the JPM Credit Agreement.
