    Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

    On June 4, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), Backblaze, Inc. (the “Company”), as the borrower, entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), with Citizens Bank, N.A. (the “Lender”). The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $20.0 million (the “Revolving Facility”), of which an aggregate amount of up to $3.0 million will be available through a letter of credit sub facility (each, a “Letter of Credit”). The Revolving Facility will mature on the 24-month anniversary of the Closing Date, subject to a 12-month extension upon satisfaction of certain conditions.
    The interest rates under the Credit Agreement are based upon the Company’s choice of an adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus an applicable margin of 3.25%, or an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.25%. In addition, the Company will pay a commitment fee of 0.35% on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Facility. The Company will also pay a Letter of Credit fee of 0.125% on the average daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.
    The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants and negative covenants, including covenants that place limits on, among other things and without limitation, the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness; create liens on its property; make certain investments; and enter into certain mergers and consolidations. The Company must also comply with certain financial covenants with respect to minimum liquidity, minimum consolidated EBITDA and maximum total leverage. The Credit Agreement contains also certain customary events of default and mandatory prepayment or repayment provisions. The Company and its wholly owned subsidiary also pledged substantially all of their assets to secure the obligations under the Credit Agreement. The Company paid customary closing and administrative fees and has agreed to pay an administrative fee on each anniversary of the Closing Date during the term of the Credit Agreement.
    The proceeds of loans under the Revolving Facility are expected to be used by the Company from time to time for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

    The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

    Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
