Katapult Secures $200M Term Loan to Refinance Post-Merger Debt
KPLT sits 30% above its 52-week low of $5.5 on elevated volume (3.3× avg).
Summary
Katapult has arranged a senior secured term loan of up to $200M, maturing in 2029, secured by a first-priority lien on assets. The loan refinances existing obligations and funds post-merger operations following the all-stock combination with Aaron's and CCF Holdings that closed on August 11. This addresses the going-concern warning from the Q2 10-Q, where the company said it needed to refinance its $74M credit facility maturing in December. The new facility provides runway and removes near-term liquidity risk, though it adds senior secured debt ahead of existing creditors. Watch for details on interest rate and covenants in the next 8-K.
