Rhea-AI Filing Summary

UroGen Pharma Ltd. entered into a new secured term loan agreement providing up to $250,000,000 in borrowings through two tranches. A $200,000,000 Tranche A loan was funded immediately, with Tranche B of $50,000,000 available at the borrower’s election through June 30, 2027, subject to conditions.

The Tranche A proceeds refinance an existing $125,000,000 term loan and support general corporate and working capital needs; Tranche B would also fund general corporate purposes. The debt carries a fixed 8.25% annual interest rate, quarterly payments, and matures five years after the Tranche A closing date, with principal amortization beginning in the first quarter of 2030.

The facility is guaranteed by UroGen Pharma Ltd., is secured by substantially all tangible and intangible assets (including intellectual property), and includes customary affirmative and restrictive covenants but no financial covenants. Prepayments trigger a 1% exit fee and, if made within one year of each tranche’s closing, a makewhole equal to foregone interest, and a change of control requires repayment.

Insights

UroGen replaces and upsizes debt with a sizable fixed-rate term facility.

UroGen Pharma has arranged up to $250,000,000 in term loans, immediately drawing $200,000,000 to refinance a $125,000,000 facility and add liquidity for general corporate and working capital purposes. The five-year maturity and first-principal payments starting in 2030 push required amortization into the future.

All borrowings bear a fixed 8.25% interest rate, shielding the company from rate volatility but locking in a relatively high cost of capital. The loans are secured by substantially all assets and guaranteed by the parent, increasing lender protections and limiting flexibility around asset sales, additional debt, liens, dividends, and certain transactions.

There are no financial covenants, which may reduce default risk tied to financial ratios but leaves standard events of default, change-of-control mandatory prepayment, a 1% exit fee, and makewhole obligations on early prepayment within each tranche’s first year. Future disclosures in periodic reports can clarify how this leverage level interacts with cash flow and growth plans.

Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 26, 2026, UroGen Pharma Ltd. (the “Company”), and UroGen Pharma, Inc., as the borrower (the “Borrower” and, together with the Company, collectively, the “Credit Parties”), entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with BPCR Limited Partnership (as a “Lender”), BioPharma Credit Investments V (Master) LP (as a “Lender”), and BioPharma Credit PLC, as collateral agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to make term loans to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount of up to $250,000,000, to be advanced in two tranches (the “Term Loans”). The first tranche (the “Tranche A Loan”) in the amount of $200,000,000 was funded on the effective date of the Loan Agreement (the “Tranche A Closing Date”). The second tranche (the “Tranche B Loan”) of $50,000,000 will be advanced following the Borrower’s election, to be made no later than June 30, 2027, subject to customary conditions and fees payable upon the funding thereof. The Term Loans will mature on the 5th year anniversary of the Tranche A Closing Date (“Maturity Date”). The proceeds of the Tranche A Loan will be used (i) to refinance our existing term loan facility with the Lenders and the Collateral Agent, which had an outstanding principal amount of $125,000,000 and (ii) to fund the Credit Parties’ general corporate and working capital requirements. The proceeds of the Tranche B Loan may be used to fund the Credit Parties’ general corporate and working capital requirements.

All outstanding obligations with respect to the Term Loans bear interest at a fixed rate of 8.25% per annum, which interest is payable quarterly in arrears. Repayment of outstanding principal of the Term Loans will be made in four equal quarterly payments of principal (together with any accrued but unpaid interest and certain fees due upon repayment, as applicable) commencing in the first quarter of 2030. Additionally, the Borrower may elect to prepay the Term Loans in whole prior to the Maturity Date with such prepayments being, subject to the Exit Fee (as defined below).

The Borrower will pay to the Lenders a funding fee equal to 1.50% of the Lenders’ total committed amount to fund the Tranche A Loan and Tranche B Loan, payable on the Tranche A Closing Date and the Tranche B Closing Date, respectively. Additionally, upon any repayment of principal in respect of the Term Loans, including pursuant to the quarterly installments payable in 2030, earlier acceleration or voluntary prepayment, the Borrower must pay an exit fee equal to 1% of the principal amount being repaid (the “Exit Fee”). In addition to the Exit Fee, prepayments of the Tranche A Loan prior to the 1st anniversary of the Tranche A Closing Date and prepayments of the Tranche B Loan prior to the 1st anniversary of the Tranche B Closing Date, as applicable, are subject to a makewhole amount equal to the sum of all interest that would have accrued through such 1st anniversary (the “Makewhole Amount”). If the Term Loans are accelerated following the occurrence of an event of default, the Borrower shall immediately pay to Lenders the sum of all obligations for principal, interest, the Exit Fee and any applicable Makewhole Amount. The


Borrower is also required to prepay the Term Loans upon a change of control and prior to certain prepayments or redemptions of permitted convertible debt, subject to exceptions for refinancings and conversions or exchanges for equity.

The obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Agreement are guaranteed by the Company, subject to customary limitations on parent guarantees under Israeli law, and are secured by substantially all of the respective Credit Parties’ tangible and intangible assets and property, including intellectual property, subject to certain exceptions.

The Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative and restrictive covenants and representations and warranties. The Credit Parties are bound by certain affirmative covenants setting forth actions that are required during the term of the Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, certain information delivery requirements, obligations to maintain certain insurance, and certain notice requirements. Additionally, the Credit Parties are bound by certain restrictive covenants setting forth actions that are not permitted to be taken during the term of the Loan Agreement without Lender’s prior written consent, including, without limitation, (i) selling or disposing of assets, including certain intellectual property, (ii) amending, modifying or waiving certain material agreements or organizational documents, (iii) consummating certain change in control transactions, (iv) incurring certain additional indebtedness, (v) incurring any non-permitted lien or other encumbrance on the Credit Parties’ assets, (vi) paying dividends or making any distribution or payment on or redeeming, retiring or purchasing any equity interests, and (vii) making payments of certain subordinated indebtedness. The Loan Agreement does not contain any financial covenants. The Loan Agreement also contains the following customary events of default: (i)the Borrower’s failure to pay principal, interest and other amounts when due, (ii) the Credit Parties’ breach of the covenants under the Loan Agreement, (iii) the occurrence of a material adverse change, (iv) certain attachments of the Credit Parties assets and restraints on their business, (v) certain bankruptcy or insolvency events, (vi) cross-default of third-party indebtedness, (vii) the failure by the Credit Parties to pay judgements rendered against them, (viii) material misrepresentations, (ix) the loan documents ceasing to create a valid security interest in a material portion of the Collateral, (x) the occurrence of certain ERISA events, and (xi) a material default or breach under any intercreditor or subordination agreement by any parties thereto. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Lenders may, among other things, accelerate the Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Agreement.
