Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Katapult Holdings, Inc. (KPLT) entered into a Fifth Limited Waiver of its loan agreement. The waiver, signed on October 27, 2025, responds to the company’s failure to maintain Minimum Trailing Three-Month Originations as of August 31 and September 30, 2025, and temporarily waives the resulting default until October 29, 2025.
Despite the waiver, the default is deemed continuing for conversion purposes. Class B Lenders may convert up to 100% of the outstanding term loan into Katapult common stock at the agreement’s Conversion Rate, calculated using the 20-day VWAP ending on the conversion date, in certain cases subject to a discount. As referenced, the 20-day VWAP through October 24, 2025 was approximately $13.04. The agreement parties include Midtown Madison Management LLC as agent and lender.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Existing default deemed continuing for conversion rights, allowing lenders to convert up to 100% of the term loan into common stock based on 20-day VWAP (with discount in certain cases).
Insights
Default waived briefly; conversion right stays live and dilutive.
Katapult obtained a limited waiver through October 29, 2025 after missing its Minimum Trailing Three-Month Originations covenant for August 31 and September 30, 2025. Crucially, the default is deemed continuing for Conversion Rights, permitting Class B Lenders to convert up to 100% of the term loan into equity.
The conversion price references the 20-day VWAP on the conversion date, with a specified discount in certain cases. The excerpt cites a 20-day VWAP of $13.04 through October 24, 2025. This construct can introduce equity issuance risk if lenders elect to convert, affecting existing holders’ ownership.
Key dependencies include lender decisions and the company’s ability to address covenant performance. Midtown Madison Management LLC acts as agent; other terms follow the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement.
