Key Events
-
Critical Debt Refinanced
The company secured a new $6.9 million senior secured term loan, using proceeds to repay the approximately $5.4 million senior secured term loan with Corbel Capital Partners, which faced a critical June 2026 maturity.
-
Improved Loan Terms
The new term loan bears interest at Term SOFR plus 4.00% (currently 7.60% per annum) with a five-year maturity, and crucially, has no equity or payment-in-kind interest components, unlike the prior loan.
-
Warrants Redeemed
Noble Roman's used $500,000 of the loan proceeds to purchase and redeem all 5,500,000 outstanding warrants to purchase common stock that were associated with the previous Corbel loan, preventing future dilution.
-
Subordinated Debt Repaid
An additional $580,000 in outstanding subordinated debt, including accrued interest, was also repaid using the new loan proceeds.
