Park Dental Partners Amends Credit Agreement; Extends Revolver to 2029
What Happened Park Dental Partners, Inc. announced it entered into an Amendment Agreement with U.S. Bank National Association (dated Feb 13, 2026; effective Jan 1, 2026) to modify its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (originally dated Mar 27, 2024). The Credit Agreement provides a revolving line of credit up to $15,000,000 and a term loan of $13,000,000. The Amendment extends the stated maturity of the revolving facility and updates financial covenants and reporting requirements to reflect the company’s status as a public company. The Amendment also expressly permits promissory-note arrangements for certain doctor shareholders to provide liquidity for tax obligations related to equity vesting (previously disclosed in the company’s S-1 and prospectus).
Key Details
- Amendment date: February 13, 2026 (effective January 1, 2026).
- Revolving credit: originally up to $15,000,000; stated maturity of the revolving facility extended to March 27, 2029.
- Financial covenants revised to require a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.15 to 1.00 and a maximum Total Cash Flow Leverage Ratio of 4.00 to 1.00.
- Reporting covenant updated to require delivery of quarterly financial statements within 45 days after fiscal quarters ending March 31, June 30, and September 30.
- Amendment permits previously disclosed shareholder promissory notes to provide liquidity for tax obligations tied to equity vesting.
Why It Matters The Amendment changes the company’s debt timetable by extending the revolving facility maturity to March 27, 2029 and sets clearer financial covenant thresholds and reporting timelines now that Park is a public company. Investors should note the specific covenant levels (Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and Total Cash Flow Leverage Ratio) because they define ongoing financial tests the company must meet under the credit agreement. The explicit allowance for shareholder promissory notes addresses a previously disclosed plan to help certain doctor shareholders cover tax obligations tied to equity vesting.
