Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Katapult Holdings, Inc. entered into a Tenth Limited Waiver to its Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement on April 15, 2026. The waiver responds to the credit parties’ failure to maintain the required Minimum Trailing Three-Month Net Originations as of March 31, 2026 and to collateral lease charge-offs exceeding agreed thresholds.

The Tenth Limited Waiver permanently waives the defined Existing Default and any reduction to the Advance Rate that would have resulted from the specified Existing Advance Rate Trigger Events. The full terms are set out in the Limited Waiver filed as Exhibit 10.1.

Positive

None.

Negative

Katapult’s credit parties triggered an Existing Default by failing to maintain required Minimum Trailing Three-Month Net Originations and allowing collateral lease charge-offs to exceed thresholds, signaling elevated portfolio and covenant risk.

Insights

Loan covenant breach led to a waiver that removes an existing default but flags underlying credit strain.

Katapult and its affiliates breached loan covenants tied to Minimum Trailing Three-Month Net Originations and collateral lease charge-off thresholds as of March 31, 2026. This created an Existing Default under the Loan Agreement with Midtown Madison Management LLC and other lenders.

The Tenth Limited Waiver permanently waives that Existing Default and any related reduction in the Advance Rate, preserving borrowing capacity under the facility. While the waiver averts immediate financing pressure, the need for repeated limited waivers suggests the business has been operating close to its covenant limits.

Material Definitive Agreement regulatory

"Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement."

A material definitive agreement is a legally binding contract that creates major, long‑term obligations or rights for a company, such as loans, asset sales, mergers, or supplier deals. Think of it like a mortgage or lease for a business: it can change future cash flow, risk and control, so investors watch these agreements closely because they can materially affect a company’s value, financial health and stock price.

Limited Waiver financial

"entered into the Limited Waiver (the “Tenth Limited Waiver”) to our Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement"

Existing Default financial

"permanently waives the Existing Default (as defined in the Tenth Limited Waiver)"

Advance Rate financial

"any reduction to the Advance Rate resulting from the Existing Advance Rate Trigger Events"

The advance rate is the percentage of an asset’s appraised or stated value that a lender is willing to loan against, commonly used for receivables, inventory, or property. For investors it shows how much immediate cash a company can raise from its assets — like the share of value a pawnbroker will lend you — and affects liquidity, borrowing capacity and perceived credit risk.
