On February 26, 2025, the Company and BRFH (“BRFH Borrower”) entered into a new credit agreement with a group of funds indirectly or directly controlled by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. with Oaktree Fund Administration, LLC, acting as the administrative agent and collateral agent. The new credit agreement provided for (i) a three-year $125,000 secured term loan credit facility (the “Oaktree Term Loan”) and (ii) a four-month $35,000 secured delayed draw term loan credit facility (the “Delayed Draw Facility” and, together with the Oaktree Term Loan, the “Credit Facility”). The Oaktree Term Loan matures on the earliest of (i) February 26, 2028, and (ii) a springing maturity date 91 days prior to the maturity of any series of bonds, notes or bank indebtedness of the Company or the BRFH Borrower (other than the Company’s 6.375% Senior Notes due February 28, 2025 and the Company’s 5.50% Senior Notes due March 31, 2026) outstanding on such date with an aggregate amount exceeding $10,000 (the "Initial Term Loan Maturity Date"). The proceeds from the Oaktree Term Loan were primarily used (a) to repay the existing indebtedness under the Nomura Credit agreement (b) for working capital and general corporate purposes and (c) to pay transaction fees and expenses. The proceeds of the Delayed Draw Facility was used (a) to fund obligations relating to the liquidation of substantially all of the assets of JOANN, Inc. and its subsidiaries and (b) for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Credit Facility accrues interest at the adjusted term SOFR rate as defined in the Credit Facility with an applicable margin of 8.00% or interest at the base rate as defined in the Credit Facility plus an applicable margin of 7.00%. In addition to paying interest on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility, the Company was required to pay (i) a closing fee of 3.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the loans under the Oaktree Term Loan and 2.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the loans under the Delayed Draw Facility, and (ii) an exit fee upon the prepayment or repayment of the Credit Facility of 5.00% of the aggregate principal amount of such loans repaid, provided, that the Oaktree Term Loan exit fee shall not be payable if the share price for the Company's common stock exceeds a certain threshold. The Company determined that the Credit Facility is an indexed debt obligation under ASC 470, Debt and will accrete the contingent Oaktree Term Loan exit fee to its expected payment amount. The Oaktree Term Loan also contains an additional prepayment premium, as defined in the Oaktree Term Loan, of a minimum of 5.00%.

Subject to certain eligibility requirements, certain assets of the BRFH Borrower are placed into a borrowing base (the “Borrowing Base”), which serves to limit the borrowings under the Credit Facility. The sale of an asset in the Borrowing Base requires the BRFH Borrower to make a prepayment in an amount equal to the proceeds of such disposition multiplied by the percentage “credit” that is assigned to such asset in the Borrowing Base. The BRFH Borrower may be obligated to prepay the loans or post cash in a controlled account in the event the Borrowing Base falls below a certain level as defined in the Credit Facility. The Company recorded a derivative liability of $11,244 related to this a mandatory repayment feature in the Credit Facility at the inception of the Credit Facility. (See Note 2(l), Fair Value Measurements.) The Company sold certain assets in the Borrowing Base during the first quarter of 2025, and in accordance with the Credit Facility the Company was required to prepay $30,521 of the Delayed Draw Facility.

The Company issued warrants to certain affiliates of Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. in connection with the Oaktree Term Loan to purchase approximately 1,832,290 shares (or 6% on a fully diluted basis) of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.14 per share. The warrants contain certain anti-dilution provisions pursuant to which, under certain circumstances, the warrant holders would be entitled to exercise the warrants for up to 19.9% of the then-outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company evaluated the warrants under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and determined the warrants met the criteria for liability classification and recorded a warrant liability of $7,860.

The initial measurement of the embedded derivative and warrant liability creates a discount on the carrying amount of the long-term debt, which together with the original issue discount, debt issuance costs, are amortized via the effective interest method under ASC 835-30, Interest – Imputation of Interest. Subsequent changes in fair value of the embedded derivative and warrant liability are reported in the "Other income (expense)" section in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 18(b) - Common Stock Warrants.

Subject to certain eligibility requirements, certain assets of the BRFH Borrower are placed into a borrowing base (the “Borrowing Base”), which serves to limit the borrowings under the Credit Facility.

On December 19, 2018, BRPAC, United Online, Inc., and YMAX Corporation, Delaware corporations (collectively, the “BRPAC Borrowers”), indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, in the capacity as borrowers, entered into a credit agreement (the “BRPAC Credit Agreement”) with the Banc of California, N.A. in the capacity as agent (the “Agent”) and lender and with the other lenders party thereto (the “Closing Date Lenders”). Certain of the BRPAC Borrowers’ U.S. subsidiaries are guarantors of all obligations under the BRPAC Credit Agreement and are parties to the BRPAC Credit Agreement in such capacity (collectively, the “Secured Guarantors”; and together with the BRPAC Borrowers, the “Credit Parties”). In addition, the Company and B. Riley Principal Investments, LLC, the parent corporation of BRPAC and a subsidiary of the Company, are guarantors of the obligations under the BRPAC Credit Agreement pursuant to standalone guaranty agreements pursuant to which the shares outstanding membership interests of BRPAC are pledged as collateral.

Through a series of amendments, including the most recent fourth amendment to the BRPAC Credit Agreement (the “Fourth BRPAC Amendment”) on June 21, 2022, the BRPAC Borrowers, the Secured Guarantors, the Agent and the Closing Date Lenders agreed to the following, among other things: (i) the Lenders agreed to make a new $75,000 term loan to the BRPAC Borrowers, the proceeds of which the BRPAC Borrowers’ used to repay the outstanding principal amount of the existing terms loans and optional loans and will use for other general corporate purposes, (ii) a new applicable margin level of 3.50% was established as set forth from the date of the Fourth BRPAC Amendment, (iii) Marconi Wireless Holdings, LLC (“Marconi Wireless”) was added to the BRPAC Borrowers, (iv) the maturity date of the term loan was set to June 30, 2027, and (v) the BRPAC Borrowers were permitted to make certain distributions to the parent company of the BRPAC Borrowers.

On January 6, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), BRPAC entered into the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement with certain subsidiaries of the Company, the Banc of California, in the capacity as agent and lender and with other lenders party thereto from time to time. The Company’s subsidiary Lingo was added as a BRPAC Borrower to the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement, the lenders made a new five year $80,000 term loan to the BRPAC Borrowers, the proceeds of which were used to repay in full the obligations under the original BRPAC Credit Agreement dated December 19, 2018 and the Lingo Credit Agreement. In connection with the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement, the BRPAC Borrowers also made certain distributions to the parent company of the BRPAC Borrowers from existing cash on hand. The BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement also builds in provisions for incremental term loans up to $40,000 allowing certain distributions to the parent company of the BRPAC Borrowers from the proceeds of such incremental term loans. The modification amended the reference rate from 30-day Average SOFR to Term SOFR. The BRPAC Borrowers’ U.S. subsidiaries are guarantors of all obligations under the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement.

private limited company organized under the laws of India; and (c) 65% of the equity interests in magicJack VocalTec Ltd., an Israel corporation. Such security interests are evidenced by pledge, security, and other related agreements. The purpose of the refinancing was to consolidate the prior Lingo and BRPAC Credit Agreements held by subsidiaries of the Communications segment into a single debt facility. For accounting purposes, the modification of terms was considered a troubled debt restructuring. As the future undiscounted cash payments under the terms of the modified debt exceeded the carrying amount of the old debt on the modification date, the Company accounted for the restructuring on a prospective basis using the revised effective interest rate established under the amended agreement. The carrying amount of the restructured debt includes variable interest rates from Term SOFR.

The borrowings under the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement bear interest equal to the Term SOFR rate plus a margin of 2.75% to 3.50% per annum, depending on the BRPAC Borrowers consolidated total funded debt ratio as defined in the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement. The interest rate is subject to a margin level of 3.25%. As of the Closing Date, the outstanding principal amount was $80,000 with quarterly installments of principal due in the amount of $4,000, and any remaining principal balance is due at final maturity on January 6, 2030.

The BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, including those limiting the Credit Parties’, and their subsidiaries’, ability to incur indebtedness, incur liens, sell or acquire assets or businesses, change the nature of their businesses, engage in transactions with related parties, make certain investments or pay dividends. In addition, the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement requires the Credit Parties to maintain certain financial ratios. The BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, and events of default, including payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, covenant defaults and cross defaults. If an event of default occurs, the agent would be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of outstanding amounts due under the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement. The Company is in compliance with all financial covenants in the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2025.
