Rhea-AI Filing Summary

KORU Medical Systems, Inc. amended its loan and security agreement with HSBC Ventures USA Inc. covering a $5,000,000 revolving credit facility and a $5,000,000 term loan. The company has not drawn on this credit facility and is not required to do so.

Insights

Amended $10M credit facilities extend maturities and ease covenants while remaining undrawn.

KORU Medical Systems revised its loan and security agreement with HSBC Ventures USA Inc., maintaining access to a $5,000,000 revolver and $5,000,000 term loan. Key changes push out maturities and adjust interest and covenant terms while the company has not drawn on the facilities.

The revolver now matures on March 30, 2028, and the term loan on December 1, 2029. The term loan’s interest-only period runs to June 30, 2027, potentially to December 31, 2027 if specified EBITDA milestones are achieved. The interest rate floor on both facilities was reduced to 5.50% from 6.50%, easing pricing if benchmark rates fall.

Covenant structures also shift: the adjusted quick ratio covenant is removed, replaced for the revolver by a remaining months liquidity covenant of at least twelve months, tested monthly once the revolver is drawn, with compliance allowed if trailing three-month average Adjusted EBITDA is positive. Actual impact depends on whether the company chooses to access these undrawn facilities and how it manages liquidity and EBITDA performance over time.

revolving credit facility financial
"relating to a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $5,000,000"
A revolving credit facility is a type of loan that a business can borrow from whenever it needs money, up to a set limit. It’s like having a credit card for companies—allowing them to borrow, pay back, and borrow again as needed, providing flexibility for managing cash flow or funding short-term expenses.
Term Loan financial
"a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $5,000,000 (the “Term Loan”"
A term loan is a type of loan that is borrowed for a set period of time, with a fixed schedule for repaying the money, usually in regular payments. It matters to investors because it represents a company's borrowing costs and financial stability; reliable repayment of these loans can indicate strong financial health, while difficulties may signal potential risks.
interest-only period financial
"extends the interest-only period of the $5,000,000 Term Loan from September 30, 2026 to June 30, 2027"
A period during a loan when the borrower pays only the interest charges and none of the original principal, so monthly payments are lower but the loan balance does not shrink. For investors, this affects cash flow and risk: borrowers may have higher near-term liquidity but face larger payments or refinancing later, which can influence a company’s ability to pay dividends, meet obligations, or require new financing — similar to paying rent on borrowed money before starting to pay it down.
adjusted quick ratio covenant financial
"The Amendment removes the adjusted quick ratio covenant for both the Term Loan and the Revolver."
remaining months liquidity covenant financial
"replaced with a remaining months liquidity covenant of at least twelve months, to be tested monthly"
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"the Company will be in compliance if trailing three (3) month average Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Revolver) is positive."
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

On March 30, 2026, KORU Medical Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its loan and security agreement, by and between the Company and HSBC Ventures USA Inc., as lender, dated March 8, 2024, as amended (the “Loan and Security Agreement”), relating to a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $5,000,000 (the “Revolver”) and a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $5,000,000 (the “Term Loan” and collectively with the Revolver, the “Credit Facility”). The Company has not drawn on the Credit Facility, and there is no obligation for the Company to do so at any time.

 

The Amendment extends the maturity of the $5,000,000 Revolver from December 31, 2026 to March 30, 2028, and extends the interest-only period of the $5,000,000 Term Loan from September 30, 2026 to June 30, 2027 with a possible further extension to December 31, 2027 upon the achievement of certain EBITDA milestones as set forth therein. The Term Loan maturity has been extended from December 1, 2028 to December 1, 2029. The Amendment lowers the interest rate floor to 5.50% from 6.50% for the Revolver and the Term Loan. The Amendment removes the adjusted quick ratio covenant for both the Term Loan and the Revolver. The adjusted quick ratio covenant for the Revolver has been replaced with a remaining months liquidity covenant of at least twelve months, to be tested monthly beginning the first month the Revolver is drawn on; provided, however, the Company will be in compliance if trailing three (3) month average Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Revolver) is positive.

 

The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

FAQ

What credit facilities does KORU Medical Systems (KRMD) have with HSBC after this amendment?

KORU Medical Systems maintains a revolving credit facility of $5,000,000 and a term loan facility of $5,000,000 with HSBC Ventures USA Inc. These together form the company’s Credit Facility under the amended loan and security agreement described in the filing.

Has KORU Medical Systems (KRMD) drawn on its $5,000,000 revolver or $5,000,000 term loan?

The filing states that KORU Medical Systems has not drawn on the Credit Facility and has no obligation to do so. This means both the $5,000,000 revolver and $5,000,000 term loan are currently undrawn, serving as available but unused borrowing capacity.

How did the amendment change the maturities of KORU Medical Systems’ credit facilities?

The amendment extends the revolver maturity from December 31, 2026 to March 30, 2028. It also extends the term loan maturity from December 1, 2028 to December 1, 2029, giving the company a longer time horizon before principal repayment obligations fully come due.

What interest rate and covenant changes did KRMD’s loan amendment introduce?

The amendment lowers the interest rate floor on both facilities to 5.50% from 6.50%. It removes the adjusted quick ratio covenant and adds a remaining months liquidity covenant of at least twelve months for the revolver, with compliance allowed if trailing three-month average Adjusted EBITDA is positive.

How did the interest-only period for KORU Medical Systems’ term loan change?

The interest-only period for the $5,000,000 term loan is extended from September 30, 2026 to June 30, 2027. It may be further extended to December 31, 2027 if certain EBITDA milestones specified in the agreement are achieved, delaying scheduled principal amortization.

What new liquidity covenant applies to KRMD’s revolver under the amended agreement?

The revolver now carries a remaining months liquidity covenant of at least twelve months, tested monthly beginning with the first month the revolver is drawn. The company will be considered in compliance if trailing three‑month average Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the revolver, is positive.
