Adams Street Credit Agreement
On October 28, 2020, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Adams Street Capital (the “Adams Street Credit Agreement”), the terms of which were subsequently modified by various amendments through June 30, 2025. As amended, the Adams Street Credit Agreement includes (i) a $31.0 million term loan commitment, (ii) a $15.0 million delayed draw term loan, (iii) a $32.0 million incremental term loan, and (iv) a $65.0 million revolving credit facility commitment, all of which mature on April 28, 2027. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company borrowed $5.0 million and repaid $25.0 million on the revolving credit facility. There was no activity on the revolving credit facility for the three months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $35.0 million of remaining capacity under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

As of June 30, 2025, the outstanding principal on the Adams Street Credit Agreement incurs cash interest in accordance with the base rate plus the applicable rates as set forth in the table below:

As amended in March 2022, AE Industrial Partners Fund II, LP (“AEI Fund II”) and certain of its affiliates (the “AEI Guarantors”), provided a limited guarantee for the payment of outstanding revolving loans in excess of $10.0 million, with a $15.0 million cap in the aggregate. In the event that the AEI Guarantors are required to make payments to the lenders under the Adams Street Credit Agreement pursuant to the terms of the limited guarantee, each AEI Guarantor would be subrogated to the rights of the lenders. In connection with the limited guarantee, the Company agreed to pay to the AEI Guarantors a fee equal to 2% of any amount actually paid by such guarantors under the limited guarantee. The fee is waivable by the AEI Guarantors at their discretion.

As amended in August 2022, the outstanding principal on the term loans and revolving loans under the Adams Street Credit Agreement incurred additional interest to be paid-in-kind (“PIK”) of 2.00% per annum, for the period August 2022 through May 2023, when the Company met certain requirements to end the PIK interest. The amendment also suspended the Company’s requirement to comply with the consolidated total net leverage ratio was through September 30, 2023, and such compliance resumed with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2023.

In June 2023, the Company entered into the Sixth Amendment to the Adams Street Credit Agreement, in which the LIBOR-based interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Adams Street Credit Agreement was replaced with a SOFR-based interest rate in advance of the cessation of LIBOR, which occurred on June 30, 2023. In December 2023, the Company entered into a Seventh Amendment to the Adams Street Credit Agreement, in which the commitments under the revolving credit facility increased from $25.0 million to $30.0 million.
In June 2024, the Company entered into an Eighth Amendment to the Adams Street Credit Agreement (“Eighth Amendment”), in which the commitments under the revolving credit facility increased from $30.0 million to $45.0 million. Pursuant to the Eighth Amendment, the Company is required to maintain an aggregate principal amount of outstanding revolving credit loans of no less than $10.0 million. In August 2024, the Company entered into a Ninth Amendment to the Adams Street Credit Agreement (“Ninth Amendment”), in which the commitments under the revolving credit facility increased from $45.0 million to $65.0 million. Pursuant to the Ninth Amendment, the aggregate principal amount of outstanding revolving credit loans the Company is required to maintain increased from no less than $10.0 million to no less than $30.0 million.

In June 2025, the Company entered into a Tenth Amendment to the Adams Street Credit Agreement (“Tenth Amendment”) in which, (i) the maturity date was extended to April 28, 2027, (ii) the interest rate of the term loans will be increased to match the interest rate under the JPMorgan Credit Agreement (as defined below), commencing on January 1, 2026, and (iii) Adams Street Capital was granted a second lien on the equity interests of Edge Autonomy, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. In connection with the Tenth Amendment, the Company incurred a nominal amount of fees paid to the lender and third-parties. Fees paid to the lender were recorded as a discount on the related facility, while costs paid to third-parties were expensed as incurred and recorded as other (income) expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

The Adams Street Credit Agreement, as amended, contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and other covenants and events of default, including among other things, payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, and covenant defaults. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with its covenant requirements, as amended.

JP Morgan Chase Credit Agreement
In June 2025, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Edge Intermediate Holdings, LLC, entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “JPMorgan Credit Agreement”) which includes a $90.0 million term loan and matures on April 28, 2027. As of June 30, 2025, the outstanding principal on the JPMorgan Credit Agreement incurs cash interest, which is payable quarterly in accordance with the SOFR rate plus the applicable per annum rate of 6.5% through December 31, 2025 and 7.0% from January 1, 2026 through maturity. Under the terms of the JPMorgan Credit Agreement, the Company will make principal payments in the amount of 1.25% of the original outstanding term loan quarterly until maturity at which time the remaining principal balance becomes due in full. The JPMorgan Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and other covenants and events of default, including among other things, payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, and covenant defaults. In connection with the issuance of the JPMorgan Credit Agreement, the Company incurred $4.2 million of fees paid to the lender and debt issuance costs which were recorded as a discount on the related term loan and are being amortized over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with its covenant requirements.

Seller Note
In June 2025, the Company entered into an unsecured promissory note agreement with Ultimate Holdings (an affiliate of AE Industrial Partners and former parent of Edge Autonomy) (the “Seller Note”), which included a note payable of $100.0 million. The Seller Note was used to finance a portion of the cash consideration of the Edge Autonomy acquisition. The Seller Note has a 3.0% upfront fee that was paid-in-kind and added to the principal amount which will be fully earned at the maturity and has a minimum return payment that is equal to 1.20 times if it is repaid prior to December 31, 2025, less aggregate cash payments of principal, interest (including paid-in-kind interest) and the upfront fee previously or then being paid in cash. The upfront fee and minimum return payment were recorded as a discount on the related term loan and are being amortized over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. The Seller Note accrues interest at an annual rate of 15.0% through December 31, 2025 and 18.0% thereafter which is payable quarterly either in cash or in-kind, at the Company’s option. The Seller Note has a maturity that is the earliest of (i) a change in control or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; (ii) the date that is ninety-one (91) days following the maturity date of the Adams Street Credit Agreement or JPMorgan Credit Agreement; and (iii) acceleration following an event of default as defined within the agreement. The Seller Note also provides that if the Company receives any equity financing net proceeds, 100.0% of such proceeds, to the extent available, must be applied to the prepayment of the Seller Note in cash.

During June 2025, the Company completed an equity raise and issued 15,525,000 shares of common stock at a price of $16.75 per share for net proceeds of $245.0 million. In accordance with the terms of the Seller Note, the Company used $120.0 million of the proceeds to repay the Seller Note in full, inclusive of the minimum return.
