[DEFA14A] Katapult Holdings, Inc. Warrant Additional Proxy Soliciting Materials
Katapult Holdings (NASDAQ:KPLTW) filed Definitive Additional Proxy materials for its August 6 2025 Special Meeting. Shareholders will vote on two items:
- Proposal 1: Authorize the issuance of common stock upon warrant exercise and term-loan conversion to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(b) and 5635(d).
- Proposal 2: Permit adjournment to solicit more proxies if Proposal 1 lacks support.
The Board recommends FOR both proposals. Votes must be cast by 11:59 p.m. ET on Aug 5 2025; the virtual meeting begins 10:00 a.m. ET Aug 6 2025. Approval would avoid potential listing issues but could dilute existing owners; the filing does not specify the share count.
- Approval would enable Katapult to comply with Nasdaq Rules 5635(b) and (d), mitigating potential delisting risk.
- Issuing shares for warrant exercise and term-loan conversion could materially dilute existing shareholders' ownership.
Insights
TL;DR: Critical compliance vote; dilution risk vs. Nasdaq listing security.
Nasdaq Rules 5635(b) and (d) trigger a shareholder vote when potential new issuance exceeds 20 % or changes control. Management seeks blanket authority for shares tied to warrants and a term-loan conversion, signalling the transactions are large enough to require approval. Failure could jeopardize listing status or force renegotiation of financing terms. While the proposal carries dilution risk, the lack of share-count detail limits visibility. The board’s unanimous ‘FOR’ stance suggests urgency; investors must weigh near-term dilution against maintaining exchange listing and access to capital.
TL;DR: Share issuance enables funding flexibility; cash inflow vs. ownership dilution.
If approved, warrant exercises could inject cash and retire term-loan obligations through equity conversion, strengthening liquidity without incremental debt. However, conversion price mechanics are undisclosed here, so the magnitude of dilution is unclear. Because proceeds are tied to already-outstanding warrants and an existing loan, incremental economic benefit may be limited to cash conserved on interest expense. Investors should scrutinize supplemental materials for share cap, exercise price, and anti-dilution clauses before voting.
