biote Corp. Debt Disclosure
Truist Term Loan
On May 22, 2022, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Truist Bank (the “Credit Agreement”) for $125.0 million. The Credit agreement provides for (i) a $50.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Loans”) and (ii) a $125.0 million senior secured term loan credit facility (the “Term Loan”), which was borrowed in full on May 22, 2022. The Company used the proceeds to refinance and replace an existing credit facility pursuant to a credit agreement, dated as of May 17, 2019, with Bank of America, N.A. and for general corporate purposes. On April 26, 2024, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Credit Agreement and Waiver (the “First Amendment to Credit Agreement and Waiver”) with the lender, that waived an event of default and also agreed that payments made to repurchase specified shares in settlement of that certain settlement agreement with Gary S. Donovitz will no longer continue as an event of default. On June 26, 2024, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, in which the lender agreed that the payments made to repurchase specified shares in settlement of that certain settlement agreement with Marci Donovitz will not qualify as an event of default on the Term Loan.
At the Company’s election, interest on borrowings under the Credit Agreement is based on either the Standard Overnight Financing Rate plus an applicable margin of 2.5% or 2.75% or the Base Rate plus an applicable margin of 1.5% or 1.75%. At December 31, 2025, the interest rate charged to the Company was approximately 6.32%. The Term Loan requires principal payments of $1.6 million in quarterly installments on the last day of each calendar quarter, commencing on September 30, 2022, with repayment of the outstanding amount of the note due on maturity, which occurs on May 26, 2027.
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company may borrow under the Revolving Loans from time to time up to the total commitment of $50.0 million. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $5.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Loans and had no amounts outstanding as of December 31, 2024.
The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and is subject to, among other provisions, customary covenants regarding indebtedness, liens, negative pledges, restricted payments, certain prepayments of indebtedness, investments, fundamental changes, disposition of assets, sale and lease-back transactions, transactions with affiliates, amendments of or waivers with respect to restricted debt and permitted activities of the Company. The Credit Agreement is subject to (i) a maximum total net leverage ratio and (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The Company must maintain a total net leverage ratio of 3.75:1.00 and must not permit the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio to be less than 1.25:1.00. Both financial covenants are tested quarterly. In addition to the financial covenants, the Company is required to deliver financial statements and other information and is prohibited from making certain restricted payments, as defined in the Credit Agreement, during the fiscal year in progress. As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all required financial covenants associated with the Credit Agreement.
The Company capitalized lender’s fees and related attorney’s fees of $4.0 million, which are amortized over the life of the Term Loan and included in interest expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Amortization expense related to the debt issuance costs was $0.8 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

About Debt Disclosures
Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.
Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
