Positive
  • Immediate liquidity available: Up to $2.0 million in committed financing to support operations and working capital
  • Conversion feature: Lender may convert obligations into equity in a Qualified Financing, potentially reducing cash repayment pressure
  • Prior debt retired: The company paid off and terminated its prior $2.0 million loan with Banc of California, replacing it with this facility
Negative
  • High financing cost: 10.0% interest plus a 10% exit fee (aggregate $200,000 on full principal) increases cash outflow or dilutive conversion risk
  • Heavy collateral and covenants: Secured by substantially all personal property and includes negative covenants that limit indebtedness, asset dispositions and certain payments
  • Significant default remedies: Cross-defaults, material adverse effect triggers and a default interest rate of 5.0% above the base rate raise downside exposure

Insights

TL;DR: Ekso secured short-term liquidity via a $2.0M secured facility, but at a high effective cost and with material collateral and covenant constraints.

The facility provides immediate working capital flexibility and preserves near-term operations. Key economics include a 10% cash interest rate and a 10% exit fee, producing a high effective financing cost if held to maturity. Conversion rights could reduce cash repayment risk in a successful equity raise, but dilution risk exists if converted at Qualified Financing prices. The lender holds broad security and covenants that could restrict operational flexibility until repaid or refinanced.

TL;DR: The agreement creates secured creditor priority and increased covenant monitoring, raising governance and default risk if performance weakens.

The loan is guaranteed by the principal operating subsidiary and secured by substantially all personal property, which elevates creditor control over company assets. Standard default triggers, cross-default provisions and a punitive default interest spread heighten downside risk. Termination of the prior Banc of California loan simplifies the capital structure but replaces one secured obligation with another bearing higher fees and tighter lender remedies.

Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On September 12, 2025, Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Secured Promissory Note and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”), by and among the Company, Ekso Bionics, Inc., a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of the Company (the “Subsidiary”), as guarantor, and B. Riley Commercial Capital, LLC, as lender (the “Lender”).
 
The Agreement provides for a secured term loan in an aggregate principal amount of up to $2.0 million. The proceeds of the loan under the Agreement may be used for working capital for operations and other general corporate purposes. The loan matures on the earlier of the receipt of $2.4 million in net proceeds from the sale of the equity interests of the Company from new equity investors (a “Qualified Financing”) or September 14, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”). Borrowings under the Agreement bear interest at the rate of 10.0% per annum, which shall be payable in full on the Maturity Date. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Lender an exit fee in the amount of 10% of the original principal amount of the loan, which shall in the aggregate be $200,000 (the “Exit Fee”). The Company may prepay the obligations under the Agreement at any time in whole in part; provided, that the Company pays all accrued but unpaid interest on such portion of the principal prepaid, all interest that would have accrued through the Maturity Date on such principal amount prepaid and the portion of the Exit Fee applicable to such principal amount prepaid. The Lender may elect to convert the obligations under the Agreement, including the principal, interest and Exit Fee, into equity securities of the Company in connection with a Qualified Financing at the purchase price per share paid by the lead investor thereunder.
 
The obligations under the Agreement are required to be guaranteed by the Subsidiary and secured by substantially all of the personal property of the Company and the Subsidiary. The Agreement also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including negative covenants limiting the ability of the Company and the Subsidiary to, among other things, incur debt, grant liens, dispose of assets, and make certain restricted payments, in each case, subject to limitations and exceptions set forth in the Agreement.
 
The Agreement contains various customary events of default that include, among others, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, breach of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, cross defaults to certain other indebtedness, cross default to contractual obligations, occurrence of a material adverse effect, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments, and events constituting a change of control, subject to thresholds and cure periods as set forth in the Agreement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the lenders may accelerate the Company’s obligations under the Agreement (including the Exit Fee and all interest that would have been due on the Maturity Date) and may exercise certain other rights and remedies provided for under the Agreement, the other loan documents and applicable law. Under certain circumstances, a default interest rate will apply on all obligations during the existence of an event of default under the Agreement at a per annum rate equal to 5.00% above the otherwise applicable interest rate.
 
The foregoing description of the Agreement is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
An affiliate of the Lender may in the future provide certain commercial banking, financial advisory, and investment banking services in the ordinary course of business for the Company, its subsidiaries and certain of its affiliates, for which they will receive customary fees and commissions.
 
Item 1.02
Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On September 12, 2025, in connection with the entry into the Agreement, the Company paid off all obligations under and terminated that Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of August 17, 2020, by and between the Company, the Subsidiary and Banc of California, a California state-chartered bank (formerly known as Pacific Western Bank), which provided for a loan in an aggregate principal amount of $2.0 million.
