Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Hazel Partners Holdings, LLC Funding
On April 2, 2026, MSP Recovery, Inc. (the “Company”), through its subsidiaries, entered into a letter agreement with Hazel Partners Holdings LLC (“Hazel”), in its capacity as administrative agent and lender under the Company’s existing working capital credit facility (the “Hazel Letter Agreement”) to provide $0.1 million to be used primarily for operating expenses.
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 (the “Q3-2025 Form 10-Q”), the Company is party to a working capital credit facility with Hazel (the “Working Capital Credit Facility”), which includes a discretionary funding mechanism referred to as the Operational Collection Floor. Advances under the Operational Collection Floor are made solely at Hazel’s discretion, are not subject to any commitment or minimum availability, and are conditioned on the satisfaction or waiver of applicable conditions under the governing credit documentation. The Working Capital Credit Facility does not provide the Company with committed liquidity, does not establish a borrowing base, and does not obligate Hazel to fund any amounts.
As of the filing of the Q3-2025 Form 10-Q, the Company disclosed that aggregate advances under the Operational Collection Floor had reached approximately $6.0 million, and that no remaining funding capacity was available under the facility at that time.
Pursuant to the Hazel Letter Agreement, Hazel has agreed, in its sole discretion, to make a one-time advance of $0.1 million to increase the Operational Collection Floor beyond the previously disclosed level. The advance was funded on April 2, 2026, subject to the conditions set forth in the Hazel Letter Agreement and the underlying credit agreement, including the absence of any event of default or default at the time of funding.
The $0.1 million advance is a standalone accommodation and does not reinstate, replenish, or otherwise reopen availability under the Working Capital Credit Facility or the Operational Collection Floor. Other than this specific advance, no additional funding is currently available to the Company under the Working Capital Credit Facility, and the Company has no rights to, and no reasonable basis to expect, any further advances thereunder. The Hazel Letter Agreement does not modify the discretionary nature of the facility, does not create any commitment for future funding, and does not provide the Company with access to ongoing or recurring liquidity.
The Company cautions that the receipt of the $0.1 million advance should not be viewed as indicative of Hazel’s willingness to provide future funding, the availability of additional liquidity, or the Company’s ability to meet its operating or debt service obligations beyond the funding of this specific amount.
The foregoing description of the Hazel Letter Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Hazel Letter Agreement, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
VRM MSP Recovery Partners, LLC Advance
On April 2, 2026, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Advance Letter”) with VRM MSP Recovery Partners, LLC (“VRM”), pursuant to which VRM agreed to make available a one-time advance of recovery proceeds of $0.1 million to be used primarily to support the Company’s accounts payables.
The Advance Letter provides that the Company will reimburse VRM for the full amount of the Advance, together with certain amounts previously permitted to be used by MSP Recovery from recovery proceeds otherwise distributable to VRM (the “Prior Consents”), promptly upon the closing of any loan or other financing transaction by the Company or its affiliates (other than proceeds from certain short-term financing from Hazel Partners Holdings, LLC), including financing from YA II PN, Ltd. or any debtor-in-possession financing in the event the Company operates under Chapter 11 protection. The Advance Letter further contemplates that any such financing counterparty would permit the use of financing proceeds for the reimbursement described above.
The Advance is described in the Advance Letter as a one-time advance and does not imply any obligation of VRM to provide any further advances, and VRM reserved all rights under the applicable limited liability company agreement and related documents.
The foregoing description of the Advance Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Advance Letter, which is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
