New $20.0 Million Credit Facility Secured
The company entered into a new Loan and Security Agreement with Western Alliance Bank on March 31, 2025, providing up to $20.0 million, including a $12.0 million term loan and a $3.0 million revolving line of credit. This replaces a previous $7.0 million term loan and extends debt maturity to March 31, 2030. The company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of December 31, 2025.

Share Repurchase Program Significantly Reduced
The original $12.5 million share repurchase program (authorized through January 24, 2027) has been substantially curtailed by the new loan agreement. For fiscal year 2026, the permitted buyback amount is limited to $425,000, and for 2027 and thereafter, it is $2.0 million annually.
