Oaktree Credit Agreement
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 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 were 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 is accreting 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%.
At March 31, 2026, under the Oaktree Credit Agreement, certain assets with a total carrying value of $334,100 collateralize the $62,500 outstanding balance of the Oaktree Term Loan, and these assets primarily consist of the common and preferred equity interest in GA Holdings and certain other designated loans receivable and equity investments held by the BRFH Borrower. The collateral for the Oaktree Credit Agreement also includes the equity interests in the BRFH Borrower’s subsidiaries, and the Oaktree Credit Agreement covenants, among other things, limit the Company’s, the BRFH Borrower’s and the BRFH Borrower’s subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness or liens, to dispose of assets, to make certain fundamental changes, to enter into restrictive agreements, to make certain investments, loans, advances, guarantees and acquisitions, to prepay certain indebtedness, and to pay dividends or to make other distributions or redemptions/repurchases in respect of their respective equity interests. The Company is in compliance with all financial covenants in the Oaktree Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2026.
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 a mandatory repayment feature in the Credit Facility at the inception of the Credit Facility (see Note 5 - Fair Value Measurements). The Company sold certain assets in the Borrowing Base that required the Company to repay $62,500 of principal on the Oaktree Term Loan and $35,000 on the Delayed Draw Facility. These principal repayments reduced the outstanding balance on the Oaktree Term Loan from $125,000 to $62,500 and paid the Delayed Draw Facility off in full. In accordance with paydowns on the Delayed Draw Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $5,372, which was included in the “Loss on extinguishment of debt” line item in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Interest expense on the Credit Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $3,121 and $3,181, respectively.
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 determined the warrants met the criteria for liability classification under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity and recorded an initial 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 accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 22(a) - Common Stock Warrants.
On March 24, 2025, the Company and the BRFH Borrower entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Facility which, among other things, removed certain pledged stock from the collateral and adjusted mandatory prepayment provisions in connection with dispositions of borrowing base assets. On July 8, 2025, the Company and the BRFH Borrower entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Facility which, among other things, amended the borrowing base to include certain first lien term loans extended to certain subsidiaries of the Company and made certain changes to the negative covenants. On October 8, 2025, the Company and the BRFH Borrower entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Facility with Oaktree which provided that the springing maturity date of the Oaktree Term Loan shall in no event
occur prior to March 31, 2027, thereby extending the earliest possible maturity date for the Oaktree Term Loan. On January 14, 2026, the Company and the BRFH Borrower entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Facility, which added an additional carve-out with respect to limitation on investments and allows the Company to repurchase unsecured notes on or prior to June 30, 2026 in an aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed $25,000.
Targus Credit Agreement
On October 18, 2022, Targus (“Targus Borrower”), among others, entered into a credit agreement (“Targus Credit Agreement”) with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), as agent and security trustee for a five-year $28,000 term loan and a five-year $85,000 revolver loan (the “Targus Revolver Loan”), which was used to finance part of the acquisition of Targus. The final maturity date is October 18, 2027. On November 7, 2024, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of the term loan in full with $2,100 of revolver loan advances and $7,500 of cash from the Company.
On August 20, 2025, the Company entered into the Targus/FGI Credit Agreement to refinance and repay all outstanding obligations under the Targus Credit Agreement, as more fully described below. The revolver loan under the old Targus Credit Agreement consisted of base rate loans that bear interest on the outstanding principal amount equal to the base rate plus an applicable margin of 3.00% and term rate loans that bear interest on the outstanding principal amount equal to the revolver SOFR rate plus an applicable margin of 4.00%. The average borrowings under the revolver loan was $16,693 during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Interest expense on the revolver loan during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $412.
Targus/FGI Credit Agreement
On August 20, 2025, the Targus Borrower and certain of the Targus Borrowers’ direct and indirect subsidiaries (the “FGI Loan Parties”) entered into a Revolving Credit, Receivables Purchase, Security and Guaranty Agreement (the “Targus/FGI Credit Agreement”) with FGI Worldwide LLC (“FGI”), as agent and for a three-year $30,000 revolving loan facility, the proceeds of which were used to refinance and repay all obligations under the Targus Credit Agreement with PNC. The final maturity date of the Targus/FGI Credit Agreement is August 20, 2028.
The Targus/FGI Credit Agreement is a revolving line of credit facility with a receivables purchase feature under which the purchase of eligible receivables is on a full recourse basis with each borrower retaining the risk of non-payment. The revolving loans bear interest at the greater of (a) 5.25% per annum or (b) 3.00% above the term SOFR for a period of one plus 10 basis points, plus (c) 0.30% per month collateral management fee. The average borrowings under the revolving loan facility was $8,383 during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The amount available for borrowings under the Targus/FGI Credit Agreement was $14,601 at March 31, 2026. Interest expense on these loans during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $235.
The Targus/FGI Credit Agreement includes certain embedded features, such as a receivable purchase arrangement, default interest of 3.00%, certain cost reimbursements, and optional and mandatory prepayments that could result in an acceleration of the Company’s obligations. The mandatory prepayments are triggered by asset disposition, event of loss, over advances and upon an event of default. Certain cost reimbursements and default interest upon a non-credit risk event of default were determined to be embedded derivatives. The Company determined their value was de minimis for the period.
The Targus/FGI Credit Agreement is secured by (i) a first priority perfected security interest in and a lien upon all of the assets of the FGI Loan Parties, and (ii) a pledge of all of the equity interests of the Targus Borrower and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. The Targus/FGI Credit Agreement was secured by substantially all Targus assets as collateral defined in the Targus/FGI Credit Agreement, which assets had an aggregate value of approximately $146,236, including $37,451 of accounts receivable and $42,581 of inventory as of March 31, 2026. The Targus/FGI Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, including those limiting the FGI Loan Parties’ 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. The Targus/FGI 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 uncured event of default occurs, FGI would be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts outstanding under the Targus/FGI Credit Agreement. The Company is in compliance with all financial covenants in the Targus/FGI Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2026.
As required upon the closing of the Targus/FGI Credit Agreement, one of the Company’s subsidiaries was required to invest an additional $5,000 in Targus in the form of an intercompany subordinated loan. In addition, on March 13, 2026, the Company’s subsidiary agreed to invest an additional $2,000 in accordance with provisions of the Targus/FGI Credit Agreement which increased the balance of the intercompany subordinated loan.

Lingo Credit Agreement
On August 16, 2022, Lingo (“Lingo Borrower”) entered into a credit agreement (the “Lingo Credit Agreement”) by and among the Lingo Borrower, the Company as the secured guarantor, and Banc of California, N.A. in its capacity as the administrative agent and lender, for a five-year $45,000 term loan (the “Lingo Term Loan”) which was used to finance part of the purchase of BullsEye Telecom, Inc. by Lingo. Upon a series of amendments, the principal balance of the Lingo Term Loan was increased to $73,000. Prior to repayment as discussed below, principal outstanding was due in quarterly installments.

A portion of the proceeds from the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement was used to pay all outstanding principal amounts and accrued interest under the Lingo Term Loan, and the Lingo Credit Agreement was effectively terminated upon repayment on January 6, 2025.
The term loan bore interest on the outstanding principal amount equal to the term SOFR rate plus a margin of 3.00% to 3.75% per annum, depending on the consolidated total funded debt ratio as defined in the Lingo Credit Agreement, plus applicable spread adjustment. Interest expense on the term loan during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $62.
Nomura Credit Agreement
The Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, BRFH, and BR Advisory & Investments, LLC had entered into a credit agreement dated June 23, 2021 (as amended, the “Prior Credit Agreement”) with Nomura Corporate Funding Americas, LLC, as administrative agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as collateral agent, for a four-year $300,000 secured term loan credit facility (the “Prior Term Loan Facility”) and a four-year $80,000 secured revolving loan credit facility (the “Prior Revolving Credit Facility”) with a maturity date of June 23, 2025.
On August 21, 2023, the Company, BRFH (the “BRFH Borrower”), and certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of the BRFH Borrower (the “BRFH Guarantors”), entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Nomura Corporate Funding Americas, LLC, as administrative agent, and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as collateral agent, for a four-year $500,000 secured term loan credit facility (the “New Term Loan Facility”) and a four-year $100,000 secured revolving loan credit facility (the “New Revolving Credit Facility” and together, the “New Credit Facilities”). The purpose of the Credit Agreement was to (i) fund the Freedom VCM equity investment, (ii) prepay in full the Prior Term Loan Facility and Prior Revolving Credit Facility with an aggregate outstanding balance of $347,877, which included $342,000 in principal and $5,877 in interest and fees, (iii) fund a dividend reserve in an amount not less than $65,000, (iv) pay related fees and expenses, and (v) for general corporate purposes.
On September 17, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Nomura Amendment”), and after payment on principal and the addition of loan fees to principal, the outstanding principal balance on the term loan was reduced from $469,750 to $388,127. In connection with the Fourth Nomura Amendment, the revolving credit facility in the amount of $100,000, which had no balance outstanding at September 17, 2024, was terminated and the Company was required to reduce the principal amount of the term loan to be no greater than $100,000 on or prior to September 30, 2025. The scheduled maturity date of the term loan was August 21, 2027.
In connection with the Fourth Nomura Amendment, interest on the term loan increased to SOFR loans accrued interest at the adjusted term SOFR plus an applicable margin of 7.00% cash interest or, at the election of the Company, at the adjusted term SOFR determined plus an applicable margin of 6.00% cash interest plus 1.50% paid-in-kind interest; and base rate loans accrued interest at the base rate plus an applicable margin of 6.00% cash interest or, at the election of the Company, at the adjusted term SOFR determined for such day plus an applicable margin of 5.00% cash interest plus 1.50% PIK Interest. Interest expense on the term loan during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $2,457.
As fully discussed in “Oaktree Credit Agreement” above, on February 26, 2025, the Company used proceeds from the Credit Facility to repay the outstanding principal balance under the Prior Credit Agreement. Upon repayment, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $4,666, which was included in the “Loss on extinguishment of debt” line item in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
BRPAC Credit Agreement
On December 19, 2018, BRPAC, UOL, 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 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.
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. Upon repayment of the obligations, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $389, which was included in the “Loss on extinguishment of debt” line item in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The refinancing consolidated the prior Lingo Credit Agreement and the BRPAC Credit Agreement into a single debt facility, the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement. 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.
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.
On April 8, 2026 (the “Third Amendment Effective Date”), the BRPAC Borrowers entered into the Third Amendment to the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) with Banc of California, as administrative agent and lender. The Third Amendment made the following material modifications:
On the Third Amendment Effective Date, the lenders made a new term loan to the BRPAC Borrowers in an aggregate original principal amount of $60,000, the proceeds of which were used to repay in full the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest on the previously outstanding term loans under the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement.
The Third Amendment established a new revolving credit facility with aggregate commitments of $20,000 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which was not available under the prior facility. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on January 6, 2030.
The new term loan is repayable in quarterly installments of $2,250 beginning June 30, 2026, with the remaining outstanding balance due at maturity on January 6, 2030.
In connection with the Third Amendment, the BRPAC Borrowers are permitted to make an aggregate cash dividend of up to $28,000 to the Company’s parent entities on or within two months of the Third Amendment Effective Date (the “Third Amendment Effective Date Distribution”).
The BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement, as amended by the Third Amendment, requires the BRPAC Borrowers to maintain (i) a Consolidated Total Funded Debt Ratio not to exceed 2.00x through September 30, 2026, with step-downs to 1.50x, 1.25x, and 1.00x in subsequent periods, and (ii) a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.20x, tested quarterly beginning March 31, 2026.
The borrowings under the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement, as amended, bear interest at the Term SOFR rate (one-month tenor) plus a margin of 2.75% to 3.50% per annum, depending on the BRPAC Borrowers’ Consolidated Total Funded Debt Ratio, subject to a minimum rate of 3.25% per annum.
The obligations under the BRPAC Amended Credit Agreement are secured by first-priority liens on, and first-priority security interests in, substantially all of the assets of the BRPAC Borrowers totaling approximately $308,996 as of March 31, 2026 (which includes $13,380 of accounts receivable and $2,991 of inventory), including a pledge of (a) 100% of the equity interests of the BRPAC Borrowers; (b) 65% of the equity interests in United Online Software Development (India) Private Limited, a 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.
Interest expense on the term loan during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $1,181 and $1,590, respectively.
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, 2026.
