Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Katapult Holdings (KPLT) entered a Fourth Limited Waiver to its loan agreement after not meeting the Minimum Trailing Three‑Month Originations covenant for the months ended August 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025. The waiver temporarily covers the resulting default until October 27, 2025.

Despite the waiver, the default is deemed to have occurred and continue for purposes of lender Conversion Rights. Class B Lenders and their assignees may convert up to 100% of the amount outstanding under the Term Loan into Katapult common stock at the contractually defined Conversion Rate, calculated off the 20‑day VWAP ending on the conversion date, in some cases at a specified discount. As of the last completed trading day on October 17, 2025, the 20‑day VWAP referenced was approximately $14.49.

Insights

Covenant breach waived briefly; full debt-to-equity conversion now permitted.

Katapult received a temporary waiver for missed origination covenants covering August and September 2025, with protection only through October 27, 2025. Crucially, for Conversion Rights, the default is deemed continuing, allowing Class B Lenders to convert up to 100% of the outstanding Term Loan into equity under the loan’s formula.

This introduces potential equity issuance based on the 20‑day VWAP ending on the conversion date, sometimes at a specified discount. The excerpt cites a reference VWAP of $14.49 as of October 17, 2025. Actual impact depends on lender decisions and the outstanding principal amount.

Key near-term anchor is the waiver’s end on October 27, 2025. Subsequent disclosures may specify whether conversions occur, any changes to covenants, or additional waivers.

(the “Company”) entered into the Limited Waiver (the “Fourth Limited Waiver”) to our Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of June 12, 2025 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented, revised, or otherwise modified from time to time, including pursuant to that certain Limited Waiver dated September 15, 2025 (the “First Limited Waiver”), that certain Limited Waiver dated September 29, 2025 (the “Second Limited Waiver”) and that certain Limited Waiver dated October 13, 2025 (the “Third Limited Waiver”), the “Loan Agreement”), by and among Katapult SPV-1 LLC, Katapult Group, Inc., the Company (each a “Credit Party” and, together, the “Credit Parties”), Midtown Madison Management LLC, as administrative, payment and collateral agent and lender, and the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) in response to the Credit Parties’ failure to maintain Minimum Trailing Three-Month Originations as of the last business day of (x) the calendar month ended August 31, 2025 and (y) the calendar month ended September 30, 2025 as required by the Loan Agreement. The Fourth Limited Waiver, among other things, temporarily waives the Existing Default (as defined in the Fourth Limited Waiver) until October 27, 2025. Notwithstanding the waiver of the Existing Default pursuant to the Fourth Limited Waiver, the Existing Default is deemed to have occurred and be continuing for purposes of the Conversion Rights (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and therefore the Class B Lenders (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and their assignees shall be entitled, at any time on or after the date hereof, to convert up to one hundred percent (100%) of the amount outstanding under the Term Loan (as defined in the Loan Agreement) into shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share of the Company (“Common Stock”), at the Conversion Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Conversion Rights is calculated on the basis of the average of the daily volume weighted average prices of the Common Stock for the twenty (20) consecutive trading days (the “20-day VWAP”) ending on the date of conversion, subject, in certain cases, to a specified discount. As of the date hereof, the 20-day VWAP through the last completed trading day of October 17, 2025 is approximately $14.49.
