As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all required financial covenants under the Prior Credit Agreement. The effective interest rate on amounts borrowed was 7.3%, with interest accrued of $1.0 million as of September 30, 2023, within

other current liabilities. Subsequent to September 30, 2023, the Company borrowed an additional $9.0 million under the Prior Credit Agreement to fund working capital needs.

On November 6, 2023, the Company, as borrower, and certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors, entered into a Financing Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) with Blue Torch Finance LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Agent”), and certain lenders party thereto. The Financing Agreement provides for a $100 million senior secured term loan (the “Initial Term Loan”), a $25 million senior secured delayed draw term loan facility (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”), and a $25 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility,” and together with the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loan, the “Credit Facilities”), each of which mature on November 6, 2027. In connection with entering into the Financing Agreement, the Company repaid in full amounts outstanding and terminated all commitments under the Prior Credit Agreement. The Initial Term Loan was fully funded on November 6, 2023. As of the date of this filing (November 8, 2023), the Company had not made any borrowings under the Delayed Draw Term Loan or the Revolving Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the Financing Agreement were and may be used for, among other things, the repayment in full of the Prior Credit Agreement, working capital, and other general corporate purposes of the Company. Borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest at a floating rate, which will be, at the Company’s option, either the three-month SOFR rate (subject to a floor of 3.00% and a credit spread adjustment of 0.26161%) (the “Adjusted Term SOFR Rate”) plus an applicable margin of 7.25%, or a base rate plus an applicable margin of 6.25%. A revolving unused line fee of 2.00% is payable monthly in arrears based on the average amount of the undrawn portion of each lender’s revolving credit commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility for the preceding month. A delayed draw unused fee equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate plus a margin of 1.00% is payable monthly in arrears based on the average amount of the undrawn portion of each lender’s delayed draw term loan commitments in respect of the Delayed Draw Term Loan for the preceding month.

Certain of the Company’s existing and future material subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) are required to guarantee the repayment of the Company’s obligations under the Financing Agreement. The obligations of the Company and each of the Guarantors with respect to the Financing Agreement are secured by a pledge of substantially all assets of the Company and each of the Guarantors, including, without limitation, accounts receivables, deposit accounts, intellectual property, investment property, inventory, equipment, and equity interests in their respective subsidiaries.

The Financing Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on the Company’s and its subsidiaries ability to incur additional debt, grant or permit additional liens, make investments and acquisitions, merge or consolidate with others, dispose of assets, pay dividends and distributions, pay subordinated indebtedness, and enter into affiliate transactions. In addition, the Financing Agreement contains financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain a minimum level of liquidity at all times, a maximum consolidated leverage ratio (measured on a quarterly basis), and a minimum asset coverage ratio (measured on a monthly basis). The Financing Agreement also includes events of default customary for facilities of this type and upon the occurrence of such events of default, subject to customary cure rights, all outstanding loans under the Credit Facilities may be accelerated and/or the lenders’ commitments terminated.

The Company had no borrowings on its available lines of credit in Italy, which provide up to an aggregate amount of €5.5 million ($5.8 million) as of September 30, 2023.
