Term Loan Agreement financial
"entered into a Term Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”)"
A term loan agreement is a formal contract in which a borrower receives a fixed amount of money from a lender and agrees to repay it over a set period with interest, much like a mortgage or car loan for a business. It matters to investors because the scheduled repayments, interest cost and any lender-imposed rules affect a company’s cash flow, financial flexibility and creditworthiness, which can change risk and share value.
aggregate principal amount financial
"extended a term loan to the Borrowers in the aggregate principal amount of $20,000,000"
The aggregate principal amount is the total amount of money borrowed through a bond or loan that the borrower promises to repay. It’s like the original price tag on a loan or bond, showing how much money is involved in the deal. This number matters because it indicates the size of the debt and helps investors understand the scale of the borrowing.
events of default financial
"specifies certain events of default, the occurrence of which could require the immediate repayment"
Events of default are specific breaches or failures listed in a loan, bond, or credit agreement that give lenders the right to act, such as demanding immediate repayment, raising interest rates, or taking secured assets. They matter to investors because triggering one is like setting off a financial alarm: it raises the chance of foreclosure, restructuring, or bankruptcy and can sharply reduce the value of a company’s stock or bonds and increase borrowing costs.
unconditionally guaranteed financial
"the Company unconditionally guaranteed the prompt and unconditional payment of all of the Borrowers’ obligations"
wholly-owned subsidiary financial
"a wholly-owned subsidiary of NewtekOne, Inc. (the “Company”), Newtek Business Services Holdco 6, Inc."
A wholly-owned subsidiary is a company whose entire ownership is held by another company, called the parent, so the parent controls all shares, board appointments and major decisions. For investors this matters because the subsidiary’s profits, losses, assets and liabilities are treated as part of the parent’s financial picture, affecting valuation and risk exposure — imagine a parent owning a single storefront outright and consolidating its receipts and bills into the parent’s books.
