Long-term debt

On September 9, 2020, our wholly owned subsidiary Boulder Road LLC (“Boulder Road”) sold a 50% undivided interest in a portion of our corporate campus to Westside Boulder, LLC (“Westside”). Boulder Road retained a 50% undivided interest in the property as well as full ownership of our studio and production facilities. Boulder Road received consideration of $13.2 million in the transaction.

On December 28, 2020, the Borrower entered into a loan agreement with First Interstate Bank (formerly Great Western Bank), as lender, providing for a mortgage loan in the principal amount of $13.0 million (the “2020 Mortgage Loan”). The promissory note evidencing the 2020 Mortgage Loan mortgage bore interest at a fixed rate of 3.75% per annum, and was scheduled to mature on December 28, 2025, before being extinguished by the Borrower with the proceeds from the 2025 Mortgage Loan as discussed below.

On December 19, 2025, Boulder Road and Westside (collectively, the “Borrower”) entered into a business loan agreement with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”), as lender, providing for a mortgage loan in the principal amount of $11.4 million (the “2025 Mortgage Loan”). The promissory note evidencing the 2025 Mortgage Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.090% per annum, matures on December 19, 2030, and is secured by a deed of trust on our corporate campus, a portion of which is owned by Boulder Road and Westside as tenants-in-common and the remainder of which is owned by Boulder Road. The loan proceeds from the 2025 Mortgage Loan were used to refinance the 2020 Mortgage Loan. Westside and Boulder Road each received 50% of the proceeds and are each responsible for 50% of the monthly installments. The 2025 Mortgage Loan contains customary affirmative and negative covenants (each with customary exceptions) for loans of this type, including limitations on the Borrower’s ability to incur liens or debt, make investments, or engage in certain fundamental changes, and is fully guaranteed by Gaia. Additionally, the 2025 Mortgage Loan requires Boulder Road, LLC maintain a Net Operating Income to Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.00. As of December 31, 2025, financial covenant compliance is required beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. As the loan closed on December 19, 2025, the Company was not required to test compliance with the financial covenants as of December 31, 2025. The 2025 Mortgage Loan has a remaining balance of $11.4 million as of December 31, 2025.

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.
