Pre-Closing Seller Loan
On November 18, 2025, concurrently with execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a secured promissory note (the “Pre-Closing Seller Loan”) with Garth Howat, pursuant to which the Company extended a loan in the principal amount of $10 million to Mr. Howat. The Pre-Closing Seller Loan bears interest at a rate of 6.00% per annum, calculated on a 365-day year, compounded quarterly and capitalized and added to principal, and is secured by a pledge of Mr. Howat’s equity interests in the Target. All principal and accrued interest are due and payable on the earlier of (i) the closing of the Transaction and (ii) specified termination events described in the Pre-Closing Seller Loan. Upon consummation of the Transaction, the principal amount and accrued interest will be offset against the purchase-price payment otherwise payable to Mr. Howat under the Purchase Agreement. The Pre-Closing Seller Loan contains customary representations, covenants, events of default and acceleration provisions. The foregoing summary of the Pre-Closing Seller Loan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the secured promissory note, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Term and Delayed-Draw Term Facility
On November 18, 2025, in connection with the Transaction, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Target, as borrower and guarantor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to make available to Target (i) a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $60 million (the “Term Facility”) and (ii) a delayed-draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $10 million (the “Delayed Draw Facility,” and together with the Term Facility, the “Facilities”).
Loans under the Term Facility bear interest at a rate of 12.00% per annum, calculated on a 360-day year and compounded monthly. Loans under the Delayed Draw Facility bear interest at a rate of 6.00% per annum, compounded quarterly. All accrued interest is capitalized and added to principal. The Facilities mature on the earlier of (i) completion of the Transaction and (ii) the date falling 12 months after the first borrowing under the Term Facility, subject to extension as provided in the Loan Agreement if specified regulatory approvals remain pending or within a certain period as specified in the Loan Agreement if the Purchase Agreement is terminated; provided, however, that the Delayed Draw Facility will only become payable in the event of a breach by W3C as more fully described in the Delayed Draw Facility. The borrower may prepay outstanding amounts in whole or in part, subject to the payment of the Fees (as defined below) and customary notice requirements.
The Loan Agreement provides for (i) a one-time upfront fee of 2% of the Term Facility commitments, payable at initial funding, and (ii) an exit fee of up to $7.2 million, less the aggregate of the upfront fee and any capitalized interest at the time of repayment (the “Fees”). All obligations under the Facilities are secured by assets of the Target and its subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions. The Facility Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on additional indebtedness, liens, asset sales, acquisitions and distributions; a minimum-liquidity covenant; and customary events of default (including non-payment, covenant breach and insolvency).
The foregoing summary of the Loan Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
