• Credit Agreement Amended

  The company entered into a Second Amendment to its Credit Agreement, dated March 5, 2026, to revise certain financial covenants.

• Revised Financial Covenants

  The amendment increases the allowed Total Leverage Ratio to 4.25 to 1.0 and temporarily increases the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio to 3.00 to 1.0 for the next two quarters, before gradually returning to 2.50 to 1.0 by June 2027.

• Strategic Support

  These revisions are explicitly driven by the company's improved risk profile from recent offtake agreements and are in support of its obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement for the Siemens gas turbine acquisition.

• Lender Confidence

  The adjustment of covenants reflects the lenders' confidence in Hallador's ability to manage its financial obligations while pursuing significant growth initiatives.
