Insights

Credit & capital structure analyst

Arq adjusts liquidity covenant levels in its MidCap revolving credit facility.

The company entered into a second amendment to its Credit, Security and Guaranty Agreement with MidCap Funding IV Trust and related lenders. This amendment changes the way borrowing availability is calculated and alters the minimum liquidity covenant tied to the revolving credit agreement.

The covenant sets minimum liquidity at $2.0 million for the period from December 10, 2025 through January 30, 2026, increasing to $5.0 million from January 31, 2026 onward. Liquidity covenants define how much cash or readily available funding a borrower must maintain, so these changes describe the thresholds Arq is required to meet under this facility.

Because the filing does not disclose other financial metrics or performance data, the direct impact on Arq’s financial position is not detailed here. Future company filings that discuss compliance with this amended agreement will give more context on how these covenant levels relate to Arq’s day‑to‑day liquidity.
