The 180-day refinancing/sale mandate creates a hard catalyst. Monitor for asset sales, equity offerings, or restructuring announcements. The $5M bankruptcy-triggered restructuring fee indicates lenders are pricing in default risk. Short-term liquidity is extremely tight; any operational miss could accelerate a distressed outcome.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
GoPro closed a $20M senior secured note and warrant issuance to CEO-affiliated entities, while simultaneously amending its revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo to increase interest rates by 1%, impose weekly repayments starting at $250K, and require a refinancing or sale within 180 days. The combination of related-party emergency financing, tightened credit terms, and a restructuring fee tied to bankruptcy events signals severe liquidity distress and a high probability of restructuring or default.

Financial Impact
$20M in new senior secured debt plus potential dilution from 25.7M warrants; revolver interest costs increased by 1%; mandatory weekly repayments accelerate cash burn
Risk Factors

- Significant dilution from warrant exercise (25.7M shares) if stock price recovers
