Analysis
Flux Power Holdings, Inc. has disclosed an Event of Default under its Loan and Security Agreement with Gibraltar Business Capital, LLC (GBC) due to failing to meet a minimum EBITDA financial covenant for the period ended March 31, 2026. This is a critical development, as the company previously reported substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern due to an impending breach. The outstanding balance of approximately $6.5 million, representing a significant portion of the company's market capitalization, could be declared immediately due and payable by GBC. While the company is negotiating an amendment or waiver and currently retains access to its credit line, there is no assurance of a favorable outcome. This event significantly escalates the company's financial distress and poses a severe threat to its liquidity and operations. The concurrent prospectus supplement for the resale of shares by existing stockholders further highlights the company's inability to raise capital directly from equity issuance at this critical juncture.
