NOTE 5. LONG-TERM DEBT AND LIABILITIES

BMO Credit Agreement. On January 6, 2025, the Company entered into a credit agreement with BMO Bank N.A. ("BMO"), a national banking association (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement provides for senior secured financing in the aggregate amount of up to $47,000,000, consisting of a $2,000,000 senior secured revolving credit facility and a $45,000,000 senior secured term loan.

The Credit Agreement replaced the senior secured term loan agreement with Fortress Credit Corp. ("Fortress Credit Agreement"), which included a term loan with a maturity date of November 13, 2026. On January 6, 2025, the Company borrowed $45,000,000 under the new term loan and used this amount plus cash on hand to repay all amounts outstanding under the Fortress Credit Agreement, which was terminated. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2,969,585 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 related to the refinancing of our debt from Fortress to BMO, primarily driven by the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at the Company’s option, either (1) at a floating rate equal to the base rate (the “Base Rate”) determined by reference to the greatest of: (a) the prime commercial rate

announced or otherwise established by BMO, (b) the federal funds rate plus one half of 1%, and (c) the one-month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.00%; or (2) at a fixed rate based on Term SOFR with an interest period of one, three or six months (at the Company’s election). The applicable margin for borrowings is determined by reference to a pricing grid based on the Company’s then current Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The applicable margin for Base Rate loans ranges from 2.0% to 2.5% per annum. The applicable margin for SOFR loans ranges from 3.0% to 3.5% per annum. The Company pays interest on a monthly basis and has elected the one-month SOFR plus 1.00%. The Company will pay a commitment fee, payable quarterly in arrears, equal to the applicable margin on the average daily undrawn amount under the new revolving credit facility.

Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the new term loan and new revolving credit facility will mature on January 6, 2028 as the merger with Evolution Malta Holding Limited was not completed by December 31, 2025.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The Credit Agreement includes financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain a maximum Total Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio, a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, minimum EBITDA, and maximum Capital Expenditures (each as defined in the Credit Agreement).

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, and secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible personal property of the Company and each subsidiary.

In connection with entering into the Fortress Credit Agreement, the Company also issued warrants to purchase a total of up to 778,320 shares of the Company’s common stock to certain affiliates of Fortress at a price per share of $0.01 (the “Warrants”). The Warrants remain outstanding as of March 31, 2026 and are exercisable at any time, subject to certain restrictions. For purposes of calculating earnings (loss) per share, the Warrants are considered outstanding.
