Long Term Debt
Hercules Loan Facility
In May 2022, the Company entered into a $250.0 million senior secured loan facility (as amended from time to time, the “Hercules Loan Facility”) with several banks and other financial institutions or entities party thereto (collectively, the “Hercules Lenders”), and Hercules Capital, Inc. (“Hercules”), in its capacity as administrative agent and collateral agent for itself and the Hercules Lenders. Interest on the Hercules Loan Facility was the greater of (i) the prime rate plus 2.45% and (ii) 8.25%. The Hercules Loan Facility included an end-of-term charge of 5.35% of the aggregate principal amount, which was accounted for in the loan discount. In connection with the first tranche drawn at closing, the Company issued Hercules a warrant to purchase 14,899 shares of Company common stock, which had a Black-Scholes value of $0.6 million. In addition, the Company issued to Hercules and its affiliates warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,555 shares of common stock, which had a Black-Scholes value of $0.9 million, following the closing of the second tranche.
On July 17, 2025, the Company used the proceeds of the Initial Term Loan under the Financing Agreement (each as defined below) to repay all outstanding obligations under the Hercules Loan Facility, totaling $121.7 million, and upon such repayment, terminated the Hercules Loan Facility. The amount repaid by the Company included $115.0 million of outstanding indebtedness plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the repayment date and exit fees. As a result of the termination, all credit commitments under the Hercules Loan Facility were terminated and all security interests and guarantees executed in connection with the Hercules Loan Facility were released. The repayment resulted in a $2.8 million loss on extinguishment of debt, primarily due to the write off of unamortized debt issuance costs.
Blue Owl Credit Facility
On July 17, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Financing Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Financing Agreement”) with certain funds managed by Blue Owl Capital Corporation, as the lenders (the “Lenders”), and LSI Financing LLC, as the administrative agent for the Lenders (the “Administrative Agent”). Under the Financing Agreement, the Lenders have committed up to $500.0 million in senior secured credit facilities, consisting of (a) an initial term loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to $350.0 million (the “Initial Term Loan”) and (b) delayed draw term loan commitments in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $150.0 million (the loans thereunder, if any, the “Delayed Draw Term Loans”). In addition, the Financing Agreement includes an uncommitted incremental facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $250.0 million (the loans thereunder, if any, the “Incremental Term Loans”, together with the Initial Term Loan and any Delayed Draw Term Loans, collectively the “Term Loans”), subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions set forth in the Financing Agreement. The Initial Term Loan was funded on the Closing Date. Delayed Draw Term Loans are available at the Company’s election from time to time after the Closing Date until December 31, 2027. Incremental Term Loans are available at the Company’s and the Lenders’ mutual consent from time to time after the Closing Date.
Any outstanding principal on the Term Loans will bear interest at a rate per annum on the basis of a 360-day year equal to the sum of (i) the three-month forward-looking term secured overnight financing rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (subject to 1.0% per annum floor) plus (ii) 4.75%. Accrued interest is payable quarterly following the funding of the Initial Term Loan on the Closing Date, on any date of prepayment or repayment of the Term Loans and at maturity. The outstanding balance of the Term Loans, if not repaid sooner, shall be due and payable in full on the maturity date thereof. The stated maturity date of the Term Loans is July 17, 2030.
The Company may prepay the Term Loans at any time (in whole or in part) and may be required to make mandatory prepayments upon the occurrence of certain customary prepayment events. In certain instances and during certain time periods, these prepayments will be subject to customary prepayment fees. If the Term Loans are prepaid on or prior to the one-year anniversary of the original issuance, the Company must pay a make-whole amount equal to the greater of (i) 3.00% of the Term Loans being prepaid at such time and (ii) the present value of all remaining interest payments on the amount repaid through the one-year anniversary of the original issuance of such Term Loans, calculated using a discount rate. Thereafter, the amount of any such prepayment fee may vary, but the maximum amount that may be due with any such prepayment would be an amount equal to 3.00% of the Term Loans being prepaid at such time, with such prepayment fee stepping down on each anniversary of the original issuance of such Term Loans.
The Financing Agreement contains affirmative covenants and negative covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries that are customary for financings of this type. The Company and the Guarantors (as defined below) are also required to maintain a minimum unrestricted cash balance of $100.0 million at all times. The Financing Agreement also includes representations, warranties, indemnities and events of default that are customary for financings of this type, including an event of default relating to a change of control of the Company. Upon the occurrence of an event of default,
the Lenders may, among other things, accelerate the Company’s obligations under the Financing Agreement. The obligations of the Company under the Financing Agreement are and will be guaranteed by certain of the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions (such subsidiaries, collectively, the “Guarantors”).
On July 17, 2025, concurrently with the entry into the Financing Agreement, the Company and the Administrative Agent entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement. As security for the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors, each of the Company and the Guarantors are required to grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and secured parties, a continuing first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors (including all equity interests owned or hereafter acquired by the Company and the Guarantors), subject to certain customary exceptions. On September 4, 2025, the parties amended the Financing Agreement to add certain of the Company’s subsidiaries as Guarantors.
As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding principal under the Financing Agreement was $350.0 million. The interest rate as of December 31, 2025 was 8.75%. As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all loan covenants and provisions.
Future minimum payments, including interest and principal, under the loans payable outstanding as of December 31, 2025 are as follows (in thousands):

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.
