The mandatory $10M equity raise by November 6, 2026 is the key binary catalyst — failure to raise will trigger an Event of Default. Monitor for any equity issuance announcements or pre-emptive waiver/amendment filings before the deadline.

Executive Summary
Reed's, Inc. entered into Amendment No. 2 to its Senior Secured Loan and Security Agreement, converting its $9.25M revolving credit facility into a term loan with a higher interest rate (8.75% vs 8.00%), extending the maturity to June 30, 2027 (with a possible 3-month extension to Sept 30, 2027 at 9.25%), and adding a new Event of Default requiring at least $10M in equity contributions by November 6, 2026. The conversion eliminates borrowing flexibility (term loan cannot be re-borrowed) and increases the cost of capital, while the mandatory equity raise deadline creates significant near-term refinancing risk.
Key Financial Metrics

Financial Impact
Debt restructuring of $9.25M principal with 75bps interest rate increase; mandatory $10M equity raise required by Nov 6, 2026 to avoid default.
Risk Factors
- Failure to raise $10M in equity by Nov 6, 2026 triggers immediate Event of Default.
- Loss of revolving borrowing flexibility — term loan cannot be re-borrowed, reducing liquidity management options.
- Higher interest expense (8.75% vs 8.00%) increases cash burn for a company that likely has negative free cash flow.
- Potential dilution from equity raise if completed on distressed terms.
