| ITEM 1.01 | ENTRY INTO OR AMENDMENT OF A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT. |
On March 31, 2026, OrthoPediatrics Corp. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned domestic subsidiaries, as borrowers (collectively, the “Credit Parties”), entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to that certain Credit Agreement and Guaranty (the “Term Loan Agreement”) dated August 5, 2024, by and among the Credit Parties, any additional borrowers from time to time party thereto, any guarantors from time to time party thereto, one or more funds managed by Braidwell LP, as lenders, the other lenders from time to time party thereto, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as agent. The Amendment provides the Company with incremental committed financing capacity by establishing a new delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $20.0 million, which, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Amendment, may be drawn until June 30, 2027, in minimum $10.0 million increments. The delayed draw structure allows the Company to access capital only as needed, supporting disciplined liquidity management and capital deployment. The facility features similar terms to those previously contained in the Term Loan Agreement, including: interest at a rate per annum equal to the SOFR Interest Rate (with a floor of 3.25%) plus 6.50%; a Company election to make a payment-in-kind interest payment equal to 1.00% per annum of the interest rate; interest-only until the August 5, 2029 maturity date; and certain financial covenants. The Company believes these terms provide an efficient and flexible source of capital while preserving near-term cash flow and is not required to draw on the delayed draw facility in connection with the Amendment. The Company is also obligated to pay a 1.00% upfront fee, a 0.05% per annum delayed draw ticking fee, and certain exit fees and prepayment fees generally consistent with those contained in the Term Loan Agreement.
The above description of the Amendment is a summary and is not complete. A copy of the Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the above summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Amendment, which is incorporated herein by reference.
