Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 8, 2025, Cineverse Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan, Guaranty and Security Agreement, by and between the Company, East West Bank (“EWB”) and the Guarantors named therein, which are certain subsidiaries of the Company (the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement amended and restated the prior amended and restated loan, guaranty and security agreement, which was entered into on September 15, 2022 (and amended from time to time, the “Prior Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement provides for a credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) consisting of a maximum of $12,500,000 in revolving loans at any one time outstanding, which principal amount may be increased to $15,000,000 at the Company’s request and at EWB’s discretion, and having a maturity date of April 8, 2028.

 

Advances under the Credit Facility will bear interest on the outstanding daily balance at one and twenty-five one-hundredths of one percent (1.25%) above the Prime Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement). The proceeds of the Credit Facility will be used for the repayment at closing of expenses incurred in connection with the Prior Loan Agreement; payment of interest, legal fees and bank fees; investment, participation, acquisition and /or production of upcoming film/TV projects; and working capital needs and general corporate purposes. The Loan Agreement contains customary covenants, representation and warranties and events of default.

 

The Loan Agreement also requires certain of the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”), to guarantee the obligations thereunder. Subject to certain customary exceptions, all such obligations are to be secured by a first priority perfected security interest in all of the collective assets of the Company, other than certain of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ digital cinema assets. In addition to the Loan Agreement, such security interests are evidenced by the Trademark Security Agreement dated as of April 8, 2025 by and among EWB, the Company and the Guarantors, and the Copyright Security Agreement dated as of April 8, 2025 by and among EWB, the Company and the Guarantors.

The foregoing descriptions of the Loan Agreement, the Trademark Security Agreement and the Copyright Security Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to such documents, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1, 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, and which are incorporated by reference herein.

 

On April 9, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the Loan Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
