NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Business— Katapult Holdings, Inc. (“Katapult” or the “Company”) is a technology driven lease-to-own platform that integrates with omnichannel retailers and e-commerce platforms to power the purchase of everyday durable goods for underserved U.S. non-prime consumers. Through the Company’s point-of-sale (“POS”) integrations and innovative mobile app featuring Katapult Pay, consumers who may be unable to access traditional financing can shop a growing network of merchants.

The Company experiences moderate seasonal fluctuations in revenue as a result of consumer spending patterns. Historically, revenue is strongest during the first quarter primarily due to higher gross originations during the fourth quarter holiday season. First quarter revenue is also impacted by the federal and state income tax refunds that customers receive, which in the past, has led to customers more frequently exercising the early purchase option on their lease agreements. Adverse events that occur could have a disproportionate effect on financial results throughout the year.

Subsidiaries— The condensed consolidated financial statements of Katapult include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Katapult Intermediate Holdings LLC (formerly known as Keys Merger Sub 2, LLC), a Delaware limited liability company formed in December 2020, Katapult Group, Inc. (formerly known as Cognical, Inc.), a Delaware corporation incorporated in March 2012, Katapult SPV-1 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formed in 2019, and Katapult SPV-2 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formed in 2025. Legacy Katapult was incorporated in the state of Delaware in 2016. Katapult Group originates all of the Company's lease agreements with customers.

Basis of Presentation— The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Katapult Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in these condensed consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company had no items of other comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented; accordingly, net loss equals comprehensive loss in our condensed consolidated statement of operations, and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was zero as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates— The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting periods. The most significant estimates relate to property held for lease and the related depreciation method, impairments, the fair value of derivative liability, and the valuation allowance associated with deferred tax assets. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other risk-based factors. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported amounts in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Rental Revenue— Lease-purchase agreements, which comprise the majority of total revenue, fall within the scope of ASC 842, Leases under lessor accounting and revenue is recognized in the period it is earned and cash is collected. Property held for lease is leased to customers pursuant to lease-purchase agreements with an initial term: typically one week, two weeks, or one month, with non-refundable lease payments. Generally, the customer has the right to acquire title either through a 90-day promotional pricing option, an early lease-purchase option (buyout), or by completing all lease renewal payments, generally over 12 or 18 months. On any current lease, customers have the option to terminate the agreement at any time without penalty in accordance with the lease term. Amounts received from customers who elect early lease-purchase options (buyouts) are included in rental revenue. Lease payments received prior to their due dates are deferred and recorded as unearned revenue and are recognized as rental revenue in the period in which the revenue is earned. Services are considered to be rendered and revenue earned over the lease term. Rental revenue also includes an initial agreed-upon amount for executing customer lease-purchase agreements. Payments are received upon submission of the applications and execution of the lease-purchase agreements.

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

Revenues from leases that originated from merchants are generally recorded net of sales taxes as sales tax is collected from each customer's lease payment and a sales tax payable is recorded for remittance to the respective state. Revenue is recognized for leases in the period it is earned and cash is collected. For Katapult Pay transactions, all sales tax is paid by the Company upon purchase of the goods and is typically recorded in the cost basis of the capitalized property held for lease.

Property Held for Lease, Net of Accumulated Depreciation and Impairment— Property held for lease consists of furniture, mattresses, customer electronics, appliances, and other durable goods offered for lease-purchase in the normal course of business. Such property is provided to customers pursuant to a lease-purchase agreement with a minimum lease term; typically one week, two weeks, or one month. The duration of the aggregated leases are typically 12 to 18 months. The average customer continues to lease the property for approximately 8 months because the customer either exercises the early lease-purchase option (buyout) or terminates the lease-purchase agreement prior to the end of the 12 or 18 month renewal periods. As a result, property held for lease is classified as a current asset on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Property held for lease is recorded at cost, excluding shipping costs, and is carried at net book value. Depreciation for property held for lease is determined using the income forecasting method and is included within cost of revenue. The Company’s income forecasting method evaluates the patterns of the Company’s historical property held for lease portfolio to apply depreciation rates to the Company’s current property held for lease portfolio. Property held for lease is depreciated in the proportion of expected rents received to total expected rents to be received based on the Company’s historical data of lease performance. The utilization of rental merchandise occurs during periods of rental and coincides with the pattern of rental revenue receipts over the rental purchase agreement period. The Company also considers other qualitative factors, such as current and forecasted customer payment trends, and other risk-based factors as a component of its forecasting methodology.

The Company provides for impairment for the undepreciated balance of the property held for lease assuming no salvage value with a corresponding charge to cost of revenue. The provision for write-offs represents estimated losses based on historical results, which are incurred but not yet identified. Actual write-offs may differ from this estimate.

The Company applies its depreciation to property held for lease as follows: (1) typical depreciation based on historical patterns of customer payments when an item is leased for the full lease duration; (2) accelerated depreciation for impaired leases, based on historical patterns of lease impairment, and (3) accelerated depreciation for leases where an early purchase option (buyout) is exercised, based on historical patterns of lease buyouts.

The Company accelerates depreciation equal to the undepreciated net book value of property buyouts as buyouts occur with a corresponding charge to cost of revenue based on historical trends, such that the recorded amount closely approximates current actual buyouts during the period. The Company periodically evaluates fully depreciated property held for lease, net, and when it is determined there is no future economic benefit, the cost of the assets are written off and the related accumulated depreciation is reversed.

There are uncertainties involved when recognizing expenses related to property held for lease due to the subjective nature of the income forecasting method and depreciation method, which could vary from actual results.

Other Revenue— Other revenue consists primarily of the sale of property held for lease (and lease agreements) to third parties and other immaterial sources of income from third party relationships. The sale of property held for lease is considered recurring and ordinary in nature to the Company’s business, and as such, these sales are accounted for within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The payment terms require a fixed amount paid upfront by the third-party buyer based on a negotiated percentage of the collectible value of the unpaid balance of the delinquent leases being sold and is not subject to future adjustments or recourse provisions. Revenue from such sales is recognized at the point in time when control of the remaining unpaid delinquent lease balances and lease agreements are transferred to the third party buyer, which occurs upon execution of the sale agreement and receipt of consideration. Other revenue of $1.3 million and $0.7 million was recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively and $3.3 million and $2.3 million was recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk— The Company’s concentration of credit risk consists primarily of cash. A portion of the Company’s cash balances exceed those that are federally insured. To date, the Company has not recognized any losses caused by uninsured balances.

Significant customers are those which represent more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue or gross accounts receivable balance at each balance sheet date. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have any customers that accounted for 10% or more of total revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. Customer

5.DEBT & LIQUIDITY

On May 14, 2019, Katapult SPV-1 LLC, as borrower (“Katapult SPV-1” or the “Borrower”), and Katapult Group, Inc. (f/k/a Cognical, Inc.) (“Holdings”) and the Company (as joined by certain Ninth Amendment and Joinder dated as of December 4, 2020) entered into a Credit Agreement with Midtown Madison Management, LLC as agent for various funds of Atalaya Capital Management (“Atalaya” and the “Lenders”, respectively), for a revolving line of credit (as amended, the “Existing Credit Agreement” and the “RLOC”, respectively). As of September 30, 2024, Atalaya was acquired by Blue Owl Capital Inc (“Blue Owl”). The RLOC had a commitment of $125 million that the lenders had the right to increase to $250 million.

In addition, in connection with a prior amendment to the Existing Credit Agreement entered into on December 4, 2020, Atalaya also provided the Company with a senior secured term loan (the “Term Loan”) commitment of up to $50 million. The full $50 million of the Term Loan was drawn on December 4, 2020. The Term Loan bore interest at LIBOR plus 8.0% (with a 1% LIBOR floor) and an additional 3% interest per annum accrued to the principal balance as paid-in-kind (“PIK”) interest.

The Existing Credit Agreement contained certain financial covenants, each as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement, including Minimum Adjusted EBITDA levels, Minimum Tangible Net Worth, Minimum Liquidity and compliance with a Total Advance Rate. The Existing Credit Agreement was also subject to certain negative and affirmative covenants. The negative covenants limited the ability to: incur additional indebtedness; pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions; amend our material agreements; make investments; create liens; transfer or sell the collateral under the Existing Credit Agreement; make negative pledges; consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. Early repayments of certain amounts under the Term Loan were subject to prepayment penalties.

On March 6, 2023, the Company entered into the 15th amendment to the Existing Credit Agreement (the “15th Amendment”) with the Lenders. As part of the 15th Amendment, the maturity date of the RLOC and the Term Loan were extended from December 4, 2023 to June 4, 2025 and the commitments under the RLOC were reduced from $125 million to $75 million. The interest rate for PIK on the Term Loan was (A) if Liquidity (as defined in the 15th Amendment) is greater than $25 million, 4.5% or (B) if Liquidity is less than $25 million, 6%. The spread on the RLOC was increased from 7.5% to 8.5%, while the spread on the Term Loan remained at 8.0%. Additionally, effective as of April 1, 2023, the benchmark rate for the RLOC and the Term Loan was changed from LIBOR to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), subject in each case to a 3% floor plus applicable credit adjustment spread, which was fixed at 0.10%.

In connection with the 15th Amendment, the Company repaid $25 million of outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan and issued a warrant to purchase up to 80,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, which vested on September 6, 2023. On December 5, 2023, the Company issued a warrant to purchase an additional 80,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share which vested on March 5, 2024 (collectively the “2023 Blue Owl Warrants”).

In addition, the 15th Amendment also updated certain financial covenants, including the Minimum Adjusted EBITDA levels, Minimum Tangible Net Worth, Minimum Liquidity and compliance with a Total Advance Rate.

On April 24, 2024, the Company entered into the 16th amendment to the Existing Credit Agreement with the Lenders (the “16th Amendment”). Pursuant to such 16th Amendment, the Lenders granted the Company a waiver of all Specified Defaults

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

(as defined in the 16th Amendment) related to the accounting errors that resulted in the restatement of the Company’s financial statements for all reporting periods prior to the date of the 16th Amendment. In addition, the 16th Amendment also updated certain financial covenants each as defined in the 16th Amendment, including Minimum Adjusted EBITDA (Trailing 3 Months), Minimum Adjusted EBITDA (YTD) and Minimum Tangible Net Worth.

On November 21, 2024, the Company entered into the 17th amendment to the Existing Credit Agreement with the Lenders (the “17th Amendment”). Commitments under the RLOC were increased from $75 million to $90 million to primarily fund leases and general corporate needs. Additionally, the Lenders were able to, in their sole and absolute discretion, provide up to $10 million in Revolving Advances, in excess of the Revolving Loan Commitment, following a request from the Borrower and subject to the other terms and conditions set forth within the Existing Credit Agreement.

On February 20, 2025, the Company entered into the 18th amendment to the Existing Credit Agreement with the Lenders (the “18th Amendment”), which updated certain financial covenants, including the Minimum Liquidity and Total Advance Rate, and waived all Default or Event of Default (as each of these terms is defined in the 18th Amendment) under the Borrowing Base Certificate delivered prior to February 20, 2025.

On May 14, 2025, the Company entered into the Limited Waiver and Amendment Agreement to the Existing Credit Agreement (the “19th Amendment”). Pursuant to such 19th Amendment, the Lenders granted the Company a limited waiver through June 4, 2025, the existing maturity of the Existing Credit Agreement of certain Existing Defaults including related to (i) Liquidity, the Total Advance Rate and Tangible Net Worth (each as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) not meeting applicable thresholds required by the Existing Credit Agreement, (ii) “going concern” qualifications or opinions included in the auditor's report accompanying the Company's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and (iii) certain technical reporting requirements with respect to our Borrowing Base Certificates (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) (the “Waiver”).

On June 12, 2025, Katapult SPV-1, LLC (the “Borrower”), Katapult Group, Inc. (“Group”), the Company, Midtown Madison Management LLC (“the Agent”) and the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Refinancing Agreement”), which amended and restated in full the Existing Credit Agreement.

The Refinancing Agreement provides for an amended and upsized revolving credit facility (the “New Revolving Facility”) in an initial committed amount of $110 million, which represents a continuation in full of the revolving credit facility under the Existing Credit Agreement, with all of the revolving advances outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement having been automatically converted into (and are deemed to be) revolving advances under the New Revolving Facility, and with the New Revolving Facility including a tranche of $20 million of new commitments. Advances made and outstanding under the New Revolving Facility may not exceed the lesser of (x) $110 million and (y) the product of an advance rate of 95.0% (increased to (a) 96.0% on September 1, 2025, (b) 97.0% on October 1, 2025 and (c) 99.0% on November 1, 2025 through the maturity date described below) multiplied by an adjusted current lease balance for eligible leases pledged as collateral under the Refinancing Agreement. The New Revolving Facility matures on the Maturity Date (as defined below).

The Refinancing Agreement also provides for an amended term loan facility (the “New Term Loan”) in an initial principal amount of $32.7 million, representing a continuation of, on a cashless conversion basis, the term loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement (including any outstanding original issue discount and accrued and unpaid interest). The maturity date applicable to the New Term Loan is December 4, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”). The New Term Loan will not amortize.

Borrowings under the New Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to a term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) based rate, subject in each case to a 3.0% floor and an applicable credit adjustment spread of 0.10%, plus 7.0% per annum. The New Term Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to 18.0%, which interest accrues to the principal balance as PIK interest on a weekly basis.

The Refinancing Agreement contains certain financial covenants, each as defined in the Refinancing Agreement, including Minimum Trailing Three-Month Net Origination levels, Minimum Liquidity and compliance with a Term Advance Rate. The Refinancing Agreement is also subject to certain negative and affirmative covenants. The negative covenants limit our ability to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness; pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions; amend our material agreements; make investments; create liens; transfer or sell the collateral or other assets; make negative pledges; consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. As of July 31, 2025, we were not in compliance with the Minimum Trailing Three-Month Originations covenant and Blue Owl granted a waiver thereof on August 5, 2025. As of August 31, 2025, we were not in compliance with the Minimum

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

Trailing Three-Month Originations covenant and Blue Owl granted a waiver thereof on September 15, 2025 until September 29, 2025 (the “First Limited Waiver”), subsequently granted another waiver on September 29, 2025 until October 13, 2025 (the “Second Limited Waiver”), subsequently granted another waiver on October 13, 2025 until October 20, 2025 (the “Third Limited Waiver”), subsequently granted another waiver on October 20, 2025 until October 27, 2025 (the “Fourth Limited Waiver”), subsequently granted another waiver on October 27, 2025 until October 29, 2025 (the “Fifth Limited Waiver”), subsequently granted another waiver on October 29, 2025 until October 31, 2025 (the “Sixth Limited Waiver”) and subsequently granted a permanent waiver effective on November 3, 2025 pursuant to the Limited Waiver and First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of November 2, 2025, among the Borrower, Group, the Company, the Agent and the Lenders party thereto (the “Amendment”). As of September 30, 2025, we were not in compliance with the Minimum Trailing Three-Month Originations covenant and Blue Owl granted a waiver thereof in the Third Limited Waiver, the Fourth Limited Waiver, the Fifth Limited Waiver, the Sixth Limited Waiver and the Amendment. See Note 12 Subsequent Events for additional details. As a result of the waivers, the Company is in compliance with all of its covenants as of September 30, 2025.

On or at any time after the earliest to occur of (i) June 30, 2026 or (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Refinancing Agreement) that is then continuing under and as defined in the Refinancing Agreement, Class B Lenders (as defined in the Refinancing Agreement) holding 51% or more of the New Term Loans shall have the right to cause all Class B Lenders to convert up to 100% of the outstanding New Term Loans in a minimum Conversion Amount (as defined in the Refinancing Agreement) of $1 million (or such lesser amount if such lesser amount constitutes the remaining outstanding advances under the Term Loan), into duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company (“Conversion Stock”) plus cash in lieu of fractional shares (the “Term Loan Conversion”). The number of shares of Conversion Stock issuable upon any such conversion shall be determined by dividing (x) the relevant Conversion Amount by (y) the greater of (A) $2.00 per share of Conversion Stock, subject to adjustment and (B) a price per share of Conversion Stock at a discount (the “Discount”) of 50% to the average of the volume-weighted average prices of the Common Stock of the Company for the 20 consecutive trading day period ending on the date of the applicable notice of conversion (the “VWAP Period”); provided, however, that in the event that the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock of the Company on any such trading day during the VWAP Period exceeds $10.00 per share, for each $0.50 per share increase in excess of $10.00, the Discount shall be reduced by 5%, up to $15.00 per share, at and above which the Discount shall be 0%. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the Term Loan Conversion is 21,413,548 based on the conversion terms noted. The Term Loan may be repaid at any time prior to the Term Loan Conversion without any prepayment penalty or fee. The Company, Group and Borrower intend to continue to pursue strategic alternatives to repay the Term Loan, including equity capital raises, a sale of the business or refinancing the Refinancing Agreement. There can be no assurances that these efforts will be successful. If the Company, Group or the Borrower enters into an agreement for a transaction that, after consummation thereof, results in (x) the stockholders of the Company ceasing to own a majority of the total voting power of the Company, or the Company or the stockholders of the Company ceasing to directly or indirectly own a majority of the consolidated total assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole and (y) all outstanding amounts under the loans under the Refinancing Agreement being repaid in full, and if approval, consent or clearance under antitrust or other laws or regulations is required in order to consummate such transaction, then the Company, Group and/or the Borrower may temporarily suspend the exercisability of any conversion right described above for a period of up to 120 days in order to permit the Company, Group and/or the Borrower to seek and obtain such approval, consent or clearance (and if all such approvals, consents and/or clearances are received within such 120 day period, the Company, Group and/or the Borrower may further extend such suspension for ten days to facilitate the consummation of such transaction). Pursuant to the Amendment, the Term Loan Conversion rights applicable to the New Term Loan were removed and the New Term Loan was prepaid in full.

During the three month period ended June 30, 2025, the Company concluded that issuance of the New Term Loan would be accounted for as an extinguishment of the term loan under the Existing Credit Agreement (the “Existing Term Loan”) based on the guidance under ASC Topic 470. A loss on extinguishment of $1.0 million was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. There was no loss on extinguishment recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

The Company accounted for the Term Loan Conversion feature of the New Term Loan as a derivative liability under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”) which is subsequently remeasured at fair value each reporting period. The fair value of the derivative liability was $3.6 million as of the issuance date of June 12, 2025, and $5.1 million as of September 30, 2025, with the corresponding change in fair value of warrants and derivative liability of $1.6 million recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The Refinancing Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, Group and the Company, subject to certain exceptions. Group and the Company guarantee payment of all obligations of the Borrower under the Refinancing Agreement.

In connection with the Refinancing Agreement the Lenders also waived certain Existing Defaults (as defined in the Refinancing Agreement) existing as of the closing date.

The rights of the Lenders under the Refinancing Agreement are fully transferable and assignable.

In connection with the Refinancing Agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 486,264 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants to certain entities affiliated with Blue Owl (each a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”) on June 12, 2025 (the “Issue Date”) with an exercise price of $0.01 per share, subject to certain customary adjustments (the “2025 Blue Owl Warrants” and, together with the 2023 Blue Owl Warrants, the “Blue Owl Warrants”). The 2025 Blue Owl Warrants expire on June 12, 2032. The Company concluded that the warrants are legally detachable, separately exercisable from the related debt, are indexed to settle in a fixed number of shares and do not contain any cash settlement or net cash settlement features. As such, the warrants do not meet the liability criteria under ASC 480 and qualify for equity classification under ASC 815-40. At issuance, the 2025 Blue Owl Warrants were measured at fair value of $3.9 million and recorded in additional paid-in capital.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $82.8 million outstanding principal under the revolving line of credit under the Existing Credit Agreement (the “Existing Revolving Facility”) at a 13.1% interest rate. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $79.6 million outstanding principal under the New Revolving Facility at an 11.9% interest rate.

A reconciliation of the outstanding principal to the carrying amount of the New Revolving Facility and for prior periods the Existing Revolving Facility is as follows:


	New Revolving Facility				Existing Revolving Facility
	September 30,		December 31,		September 30,		December 31,
	2025		2024		2025		2024

Less: Unamortized issuance costs	—		—		—		(176)
Total carrying amount	$	79,565	$	—	$	—	$	82,582

The issuance costs are amortized over the life of the New and Existing Revolving Credit Facility. Amortization of debt discount and issuance costs is included in interest expense and other fees in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company notes that debt issuance costs on the New Revolving Facility are included in deferred financing costs, net on the September 30, 2025 condensed consolidated balance sheet. The unamortized issuance costs totaled $4.8 million as of September 30, 2025.

Amortization expense related to the New Revolving Facility debt discount and issuance costs and Existing Revolving Facility issuance costs was $1.0 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $1.4 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $25 million outstanding principal under the Existing Term Loan at a 18.6% interest rate. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $32.7 million outstanding principal under the New Term Loan which bears interest at a rate per annum equal to 18.0%, in which interest accrues to the principal balance as PIK interest on a weekly basis.

Amortization of debt discount and issuance costs is included in interest expense and other fees in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Amortization expense related to the New Term Loan and Existing Term Loan debt discount and issuance costs was $1.0 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $2.7 million and $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Liquidity & Going Concern

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The terms of the New Revolving Credit Facility, including the rigorous covenants thereunder, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year following the issuance of these financial statements.

The Company plans to continue to work closely with Blue Owl to mitigate any potential adverse impact from the covenant provisions of the New Revolving Credit Facility. The Company anticipates that it will not have sufficient cash available to repay the New Revolving Credit Facility in the Event of Default.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern. Borrowings on the New Term Loan and New Revolving Credit Facility are classified as current liabilities in the September 30, 2025 condensed consolidated balance sheet.

6.STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

As of September 30, 2025, the Company has two stock incentive plans, the Cognical Holdings, Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, (the “2014 Plan”) and the Katapult Holdings, Inc. 2021 Stock Incentive Plan, (the “2021 Plan”).

2014 Plan

In accordance with the 2014 Plan, the board of directors of Legacy Katapult may grant equity awards to officers, employees, directors and consultants for common stock. The 2014 Plan has specific vesting for each stock option grant allowing vesting of the options over one to four years. No equity awards have been granted under the 2014 Plan since October 2020 and no new equity awards are expected to be granted under the 2014 Plan.

Stock Options

A summary of the status of the stock options under the 2014 Plan as of September 30, 2025, and changes during the nine months then ended is presented below:


	Number of Options	Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (In Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Balance - December 31, 2024	256,689	$	6.96	4.4	$	415

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $17 thousand and $0.3 million, respectively.

2021 Plan

On June 9, 2021, the approved 2021 Plan became effective.

In accordance with the 2021 Plan, directors may issue equity awards, including restricted stock awards (“RSA”), restricted stock unit awards (“RSU”), performance share awards, performance share unit awards (“PSU”), stock appreciation rights and stock options to officers, employees, directors and consultants to purchase common stock. The Plan also allows for providing cash-based awards and other stock-based awards. The awards granted are subject to either service-based and/or performance-based vesting conditions. Restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are equity awards granted to employees that entitle the holder to shares of common stock when the awards vest. RSUs are measured based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Awards granted under the 2021 Plan generally vest over one to four years. As of September 30, 2025, there were 281,899 shares of common stock available for future issuance under our 2021 equity incentive plan.

The following table summarizes the Company’s RSA activity under the 2021 Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2025:


	Stock Options						Restricted Stock Units
	Number of Options	Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (In Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value		Shares	Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value

Stock-based compensation expense is included in operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

KATAPULT HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

As of September 30, 2025, there were $2.2 million of unrecognized compensation costs. This amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of one year. The total fair value of vested RSUs as of their respective vesting dates was $1.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

7.INCOME TAXES

The income tax benefit of $0.05 million and income tax provision of $0.05 million was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and income tax provision of $0.04 million and $0.11 million was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 1.19% and (0.61%) for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and (0.24%) and (0.75%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2025 relates predominately to benefits to depreciation and interest expense from the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). The provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 relates predominately to state income taxes for states that have net operating loss usage limitations. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 is different than the statutory rate primarily due to changes in the Company’s valuation allowance.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforward of $124.8 million that expire at various dates from 2033 through 2037 and includes $102.2 million that have an unlimited carryforward period. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has U.S. state and local net operating loss carryforwards of $91.0 million that expire from 2025 to 2043.

In evaluating its ability to realize its net deferred tax assets, the Company considered all available positive and negative evidence, such as past operating results, forecasted earnings, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies, and the future realization of the tax benefits of existing temporary differences. The Company remains in a cumulative tax loss position for the 36 months ended September 30, 2025, and determined that it is more likely than not that its net deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was signed into law. The OBBBA introduced multiple U.S. federal income tax changes, such as deductibility of domestic research and development expenses, deductibility on certain property additions and limitations on interest expense deduction. The Company has included the impact of these provisions in its condensed consolidated financial statements.

8.NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the effect of potentially dilutive securities only in periods of net income; therefore, in periods of net loss, diluted weighted average shares outstanding equal basic weighted-average shares outstanding.

Lender Warrants

As described in Note 5, the 2023 Blue Owl Warrants and the 2025 Blue Owl Warrants are exercisable for little or no consideration. Accordingly, the underlying shares are included in weighted average shares outstanding basic and diluted from the dates they became exercisable — September 6, 2023 (for the warrant issued March 6, 2023), March 5, 2024 (for the warrant issued December 5, 2023), and June 12, 2025 (for the 2025 Blue Owl Warrants) — and are excluded from the table of potentially dilutive securities below. These warrants are not included in shares outstanding on the balance sheet prior to exercise.

IPO Warrants

In connection with the merger, the Company had 500,000 public warrants originally issued in the initial public offering (“IPO”) and 13,300 private placement warrants issued in connection with the IPO. Each warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $287.50 per share and expires on June 9, 2026 (five years after the merger closing).

For net loss per share, unexercised warrants are excluded from weighted average shares outstanding basic shares. They are included in diluted shares outstanding only when dilutive under the treasury stock method (i.e., when the average market price exceeds the exercise price). For the periods presented, the warrants were out-of-the-money and therefore anti-dilutive, and were

KATAPULT HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

excluded from weighted average shares outstanding diluted shares and included in the table of potentially dilutive securities below.

Term Loan Conversion

The Refinancing Agreement provides for a Term Loan Conversion that allows Class B Lenders to convert outstanding amounts under the New Term Loan into shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain conditions. At the August 6, 2025 Special Meeting of Stockholders, the Company’s stockholders approved the issuance of shares issuable upon exercise of the 2025 Blue Owl Warrants and the Term Loan Conversion.

Consistent with ASC 260-10-45-40 through 45-45, the Company applies the if-converted method to evaluate potential dilution. The number of shares issuable upon conversion is determined using the 20-day volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock immediately preceding the reporting date, assuming conversion at the beginning of the period. The calculate share conversion amount as of the period end date of September 30, 2025 are included in the table below.

Because the Company incurred a net loss for both the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2025, the assumed conversion would have increased the loss per share. Accordingly, the shares issuable upon Term Loan Conversion were anti-dilutive and excluded from diluted EPS for all periods presented.

The Company’s potentially dilutive securities, which include unvested RSUs, stock options to purchase common stock, warrants to purchase common stock and shares issuable upon the Term Loan Conversion were excluded from diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because their effect would have been antidilutive. Therefore, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share is the same in periods of a net loss.

The following table summarizes potential common shares outstanding at each period end that were excluded from diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive:


	Three and Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2025	2024
Public warrants	500,000	500,000
Private warrants	13,300	13,300
Stock options	255,189	290,858
Unvested restricted stock units	157,224	285,747
Shares issuable upon Term Loan Conversion	2,299,833	—
Total common stock equivalents	3,225,546	1,089,905

9.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation risk— From time to time, the Company may become involved in various legal actions. The Company is not currently aware of any indemnification or other claims, except as discussed below and has accrued liabilities related to such obligations in the condensed consolidated financial statements when estimable and probable, as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Except as set forth below, the Company and its subsidiaries are not a party to, and their properties are not the subject of, any known material pending legal proceedings.

DCA Litigation

On April 9, 2021, Daiwa Corporate Advisory LLC (“DCA”), filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County. The complaint related to an April 11, 2018 letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) entered into by DCA and Legacy Katapult.

On October 7, 2024, the Company reached a settlement with DCA to resolve any and all disputes that exist between the two parties for total consideration of $3.0 million with half paid on October 11, 2024 and the remainder paid over the next two years. On October 14, 2024, the case was formally discontinued, with prejudice. The Company recognized $0.8 million in estimated loss in accrued litigation settlement liability for the remaining payments which are due within one year from

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

September 30, 2025 in its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025. All obligations under the settlement will be fully satisfied by September 30, 2026.

Shareholder Litigation

On August 27, 2021, a putative class action lawsuit, captioned McIntosh v. Katapult Holdings, Inc., et al, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “New York Action”).

On August 25, 2022, a purported Company stockholder filed a putative class action lawsuit, captioned Saunders v. Einbinder, et al., against directors and officers of FinServ Acquisition Corp. (“FinServ”) and FinServ Holdings LLC in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “Delaware Action”).

On May 20, 2024, the Company reached an agreement in principle to settle the New York Action and Delaware Action for total consideration of $12.0 million, comprised of: (1) a cash component of $8.5 million of which $5.0 million was paid by the insurer; and (2) an additional component of $3.5 million comprised of the Company’s common stock (the “Settlement Shares”) and/or cash. On July 3, 2024, the parties executed Stipulations of Settlement. In agreeing to settle, neither the Company nor any of the individual defendants made any admission of liability.

Pursuant to the settlement, on August 7, 2024, the Company paid $1.7 million into an escrow account for the Delaware plaintiffs. On October 10, 2024, the Delaware Court of Chancery approved the settlement of the Delaware Action, dismissing all claims asserted with prejudice. At that time, the Company determined the number of Settlement Shares for the Delaware Action (the “Delaware Settlement Shares”) is 275,845 shares which was calculated by dividing $2.8 million by the volume-weighted average per share price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the hearing held on October 10, 2024 for the final approval for the Delaware Action (the “Delaware Settlement Hearing VWAP”). 167,797 of the Delaware Settlement Shares were released to the Delaware plaintiffs on October 24, 2024. 108,048 of the Delaware Settlement Shares are considered the “Delaware Excess Settlement Shares.” The Company may either deliver the Delaware Excess Settlement Shares or pay in cash the full value of the Delaware Excess Settlement Shares, calculated by multiplying the number of Delaware Excess Settlement Shares by the Delaware Settlement Hearing VWAP. The Delaware Excess Settlement Shares or cash are due in two equal installments. On April 10, 2025 and October 10, 2025, the Company delivered 54,024 shares on each date satisfying the total 108,048 Delaware Excess Settlement Shares obligation.

Pursuant to the settlement, on August 20, 2024, the Company paid $1.8 million into an escrow account for the New York plaintiffs. On December 13, 2024, the District Court of the Southern District of New York approved the settlement of the New York Action, dismissing all claims asserted with prejudice. At that time, the Company determined the number of Settlement Shares for the New York Action (the “New York Settlement Shares”) is 103,424 shares which was calculated by dividing $0.8 million by the VWAP of the Company’s common stock for the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the hearing held on December 13, 2024 for the final approval for the New York Action (the “New York Settlement Hearing VWAP”). 43,839 of the New York Settlement Shares were released to the New York plaintiffs on December 20, 2024. 59,585 of the New York Settlement Shares are considered the “New York Excess Settlement Shares.” The Company may either deliver the New York Excess Settlement Shares or pay in cash the full value of the New York Excess Settlement Shares, calculated by multiplying the number of New York Excess Settlement Shares by the New York Settlement Hearing VWAP. The New York Excess Settlement Shares or cash are due in two equal installments. On June 13, 2025, the Company delivered 29,793 shares to the New York plaintiffs, which represents one-half of the remaining New York Excess Settlement Shares and the second equal installment in cash or shares will be made on December 13, 2025.

The Company recognized a $0.7 million accrued litigation settlement liability for the payments that are due within one year from September 30, 2025.

FlexShopper Litigation

On September 30, 2024, FlexShopper, Inc. (“FlexShopper”) filed a complaint against Katapult in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division. The complaint alleges patent infringement and seeks an injunction as well as damages for alleged lost profits and willfulness. On December 20, 2024, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss all claims. The Company has not recorded any loss contingencies associated with this litigation as loss is not probable and the amount is not reasonably estimable as of September 30, 2025. The Company intends to vigorously defend this case.

10.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, new term loan derivative liability, warrant liability, the Existing Revolving Facility, the Existing Term Loan, the New Revolving Facility, and the New Term Loan. The Company believes that the carrying amounts of its financial instruments including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-time maturities of these instruments. The condensed consolidated financial statements also include level 3 fair value measurements of private common stock warrants and the new term loan derivative liability. The Company uses a third-party valuation firm to determine the fair value of certain of the Company's financial instruments.

New Revolving Facility and New Term Loan


	September 30, 2025
	Carrying amount		Fair value
New Revolving Facility	$	79,565	$	79,348
New Term Loan	30,645		33,368
	$	110,210	$	112,716

As of September 30, 2025, the unamortized debt discount and issuance costs associated with the New Revolving Facility and the New Term Loan were $4.8 million and $3.9 million, respectively. The estimated fair values of the Company’s New Revolving Facility and New Term Loan were determined using Level 2 inputs based on an estimated credit rating for the Company and the trading value of debt for similar debt instruments with similar credit ratings. The Company notes that the carrying amount of the New Term Loan listed above excludes the value of the bifurcated conversion feature that is accounted for as a derivative liability and disclosed below.

Existing Revolving Facility and Existing Term Loan


	December 31, 2024
	Carrying amount		Fair value
Existing Revolving Facility	$	82,582	$	84,422
Existing Term Loan	30,047		33,151
	$	112,629	$	117,573

The amounts presented for December 31, 2024, relate to the Existing Revolving Facility and Existing Term Loan under the Existing Credit Facility, which was amended and restated in full on June 12, 2025.

Derivative liability		$	3,558	$	1,589	$	—	$	5,147

The term loan derivative liability arises from the conversion feature embedded in the New Term Loan entered into by the Company, see Note 5 for further information. The conversion feature allows the holder of the convertible debt to convert the

KATAPULT HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

debt into the Company's shares at a significant discount. The conversion feature is considered a derivative instrument, as it is not clearly and closely related to the host debt instrument. The fair value of the derivative liability was measured using a with and without valuation methodology. Inputs, including those considered to be unobservable, used to determine the estimated fair value of the derivative instruments include the net originations risk premium, enterprise value volatility, net originations volatility, risk-free rate and weighted probability analysis of a capital transaction. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value. The derivative liability is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and is remeasured at fair value each reporting period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized a loss of $1.6 million due to change in fair value which is included in change in fair value of warrants and derivative liability in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.


			September 30, 2025
Net originations risk premium			3.4%
Enterprise value volatility			40.0%
Net originations volatility			14.0%
Risk-free rate			4.2%
Weighted probability analysis of a capital transaction (occur)			75.0%
Weighted probability analysis of a capital transaction (not occur)			25.0%

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, there were no transfers between levels.

11.SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company is a U.S. domiciled business, with operations in 46 states and the District of Columbia, providing lease payment options to consumers to obtain durable goods from omnichannel and e-commerce partners. The Company has one business activity and there are no segment managers who are held accountable for operations, operating results and plans for components below the consolidated unit level. Accordingly, the Company has one operating segment, and therefore, one reportable segment. The accounting policies for this segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies and the measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as total assets. There have been no changes in the Company’s organizational structure or reporting practices during the nine months ended September 30, 2025

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the chief executive officer, Orlando Zayas. The CODM manages the business activities on a consolidated basis and measures the profitability of the Company's single reporting segment using net loss, a measure that is also reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Net loss is used by the CODM to evaluate results and is considered in determining capital allocation. The CODM considers net loss to evaluate the performance of assets in deciding where to invest into the business, such as in areas such as technology, resources, or other growth initiatives. Net loss is also used to monitor budget versus actual results.

The significant segment expenses reviewed by the CODM include cost of revenue, interest expense on the New Revolving Facility and New Term Loan, and other operating expenses. Cost of revenue is primarily comprised of depreciation expense on property held for lease, including impairment expense and accelerated depreciation on early lease-purchase options (buyouts) and other variable expenses such as call center fees. Operating expenses include general and administrative expenses, underwriting, processing fees, stock compensation and other depreciation. There are no other segment items.

Revenues from external customers, cost of revenue, interest income, and income tax expense/benefit can be found in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Accumulated depreciation and impairment is included in Note 3, Property

KATAPULT HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

Held for Lease, Net of Accumulated Depreciation and Impairment. Significant noncash items other than depreciation and amortization expense are included in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Interest expense was $5.9 million and $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $16.4 million and $14.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

12.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, for events requiring adjustment to or disclosure in these condensed consolidated financial statements. Except as discussed below, there are no events that require adjustment to or disclosure in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

In connection with the shareholder litigation settlement, on October 10, 2025, the Company delivered 54,024 shares to the Delaware plaintiffs, which represents the second and final installment of the remaining Delaware Excess Settlement Shares.

The Third Limited Waiver remained in effect through October 20, 2025.

On October 20, 2025, the Company entered into the Fourth Limited Waiver, which, among other things, further extended the temporary waiver of the Company’s non-compliance with the Minimum Trailing Three-Month Net Originations covenant through October 27, 2025. The Fourth Limited Waiver remained in effect through October 27, 2025.

On October 27, 2025, the Company entered into the Fifth Limited Waiver, which, among other things, further extended the temporary waiver of the Company’s non-compliance with the Minimum Trailing Three-Month Net Originations covenant through October 29, 2025.

On October 29, 2025, the Company entered into the Sixth Limited Waiver, which, among other things, further extended the temporary waiver of the Company’s non-compliance with the Minimum Trailing Three-Month Net Originations covenant through October 31, 2025.

On November 2, 2025, the Company entered into the Amendment, which among other things, permanently waived the Company’s failure to maintain the required Minimum Trailing Three-Month Net Originations as of August 31, 2025, September 30, 2025 and October 31, 2025, as required by the Refinancing Agreement. In addition, the Amendment amended the Refinancing Agreement to (i) permanently reduce the advance rate applicable to the New Revolving Facility to 90.0%, removed the Term Loan Conversion rights applicable to the New Term Loan and the Term Advance Rate financial covenant, and modified the Trailing Three-Month Net Originations financial covenant and the minimum liquidity covenant. In connection with entry into the Amendment, the New Term Loan was prepaid in full. In connection with the Amendment, the Blue Owl Warrants were assigned and transferred for no consideration to HHCF Series 21 Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and subsidiary of Hawthorn Horizon Credit Fund, LLC (the “Purchaser”).

As further described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed November 3, 2025, the Company entered into the following agreements and closed the transactions contemplated thereunder:

1.Series A Investment Agreement. On November 3, 2025, the Company entered into a Series A investment agreement (the “Series A Investment Agreement”) with the Purchaser pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Purchaser an aggregate of 35,000 shares of a newly created series of the Company’s preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, designated as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”) at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, resulting in total gross proceeds to the Company of $35.0 million (the “Series A Issuance”) and has used the net proceeds from the Series A Issuance to repay in full the New Term Loan and for certain other agreed purposes. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible to shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at an initial conversion price of $12.32 and if fully converted, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock would convert into an aggregate of 2,840,910 shares of Common Stock as of the date of issuance representing approximately 28.3% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock, subject to the Ownership Limitation (as defined below). The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will rank senior to the Common Stock with respect to dividends and distributions on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution as described in the Certificate of Designations, which was filed by the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of

2.Series B Investment Agreement. On November 3, 2025, the Company entered into a Series B investment agreement (the “Series B Investment Agreement” and, together with the Series A Investment Agreement, the “Investment Agreements”) with the Purchaser pursuant to which the Company has issued and sold to the Purchaser an aggregate of 30,000 shares of a newly created series of the Company’s preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, designated as “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock”) at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, resulting in total gross proceeds to the Company of $30.0 million (the “Series B Issuance”, and together with the Series A Issuance, the “Preferred Stock Issuances”) and has used or agreed to use the net proceeds from the Series B Issuance to partially prepay the Company’s revolving loan, pay transaction expenses and for general corporate purposes subject to the prior approval of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”). The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible to shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $11.39 and if fully converted, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock would convert into an aggregate of 2,633,890 shares of Common Stock as of the date of issuance representing 26.2% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock, subject to the Ownership Limitation. If fully converted, all shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock would convert to an aggregate of 5,474,800 shares of Common Stock as of the date of issuance representing 54.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock, subject to the Ownership Limitation. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will rank senior to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the Common Stock with respect to dividends and distributions on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution as described in the Certificate of Designations, which was filed by the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and became effective on November 3, 2025 (the “Series B Certificate of Designations”, and together with the Series A Certificate of Designations, the “Certificate of Designations”). The shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are subject to certain transfer restrictions and holders of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to a regular dividend. Pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations, unless and until approval of the Company’s stockholders is obtained as contemplated by Nasdaq listing rules (the “Requisite Stockholder Approval”), no holder of Preferred Stock may convert shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock if and to the extent that such conversion would result in the holder beneficially owning in excess of 19.99% of the aggregate number of votes entitled to be cast generally at a meeting of the Company’s stockholders held for the election of directors by all outstanding shares of Common Stock as of immediately prior to the closing of the Preferred Stock Issuances (regardless of class) (such limitation, the “Ownership Limitation”).

3.Registration Rights Agreement. On November 3, 2025, the Company entered into a Series A registration rights agreement (the “Series A Registration Rights Agreement) and a Series B registration rights agreement (the “Series B Registration Rights Agreement”, and together with the Series A Registration Rights Agreement, the “Registration Rights Agreements”) with the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Company granted to the Purchaser certain customary demand, “piggy-back” and shelf registration rights with respect to shares of Common Stock to be received by the Purchaser upon conversion of its Preferred Stock, subject to certain customary thresholds and conditions. Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreements, the Company has agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock within 45 days following the closing of the Preferred Stock Issuances.

4.Director Nomination Agreement. On November 3, 2025, the Company entered into a director nomination agreement (the “Director Nomination Agreement”) with the Purchaser. Pursuant to the Director Nomination Agreement, the Purchaser is permitted to nominate up to three persons for nomination for election to the Board of Directors, two of whom shall be a Class I Director and one of whom shall be a Class III director, provided that that (1) prior to the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Purchaser only has the right to nominate two such nominees, and (2) two of the Purchaser’s nominees must qualify as independent under all applicable listing standards, not be affiliated with the Purchaser, or have any agreement, arrangement or understanding with the Purchaser regarding such person’s service as a director of the Company. The Purchaser’s right to nominate three persons for nomination for election to the Board of Directors terminates upon such time as the Purchaser owns less than one third (1/3) the total voting power on a fully diluted basis of the voting equity securities of the Company.

On November 3, 2025, each of Brian Hirsch, Chris Masto and Jane J. Thompson resigned as members of the Board of Directors, effective as of the closing of the Preferred Stock Issuances.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company”, or “Katapult” refer to Katapult Holdings, Inc and its subsidiaries.

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and related notes included on our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025. All dollar amounts are in thousands, unless otherwise specified.

OVERVIEW (dollars in thousands)

Katapult Holdings, Inc. (“Katapult” or the “Company”) is a technology driven lease-to-own platform that integrates with omnichannel retailers and e-commerce platforms to power the purchase of everyday durable goods for underserved U.S. non-prime consumers. Through the Company’s point-of-sale (“POS”) integrations and innovative mobile app featuring Katapult Pay, consumers who may be unable to access traditional financing can shop a growing network of merchant partners.

Key Performance Metrics

We regularly review several metrics, including the following U.S. GAAP and non-GAAP key metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions, which may also be useful to an investor.

Gross Originations

We measure gross originations to assess the growth trajectory and overall size of our lease portfolio. We define gross originations as the retail price of the merchandise associated with lease-purchase agreements entered into during the period through our platform. Gross originations do not represent revenue earned but are a leading indicator of forecasted revenue. Revenue is recognized over a period of time subsequent to the gross originations (on average over an 8 month period). Historically, we recognized approximately 70-75% of revenue from gross originations two quarters after the quarter in which the origination occurred. We believe this is a useful operating metric for investors as it provides insight into the volume of transactions that take place on our platform.

The following tables present gross originations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Change
	2025		2024		$		%
Gross Originations	$	64,187	$	51,210	$	12,977	25.3	%

Gross originations through Katapult Pay represented 41% and 31% of gross originations during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Wayfair represented 25% and 48% of gross originations during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The gross originations from Wayfair exclude transactions through Katapult Pay and only include transactions directly through the Wayfair waterfall platform.


	Nine Months Ended September 30,				Change
	2025		2024		$		%
Gross Originations	$	200,524	$	162,151	$	38,373	23.7	%

Gross originations through Katapult Pay represented 39% and 19% of gross originations during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Wayfair represented 26% and 48% of gross originations during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The gross originations from Wayfair exclude transactions through Katapult Pay and only include transactions directly through the Wayfair waterfall platform.

Total Revenue

Total revenue represents the sum of rental revenue and other revenue. We record rental revenue in accordance with ASC 842, with revenue being recorded when earned and cash is collected. Other revenue is recorded in accordance with ASC 606, with revenue being recorded as performance obligations are satisfied.

Historically, our revenue is typically strongest during the first quarter primarily due to higher gross originations during the fourth quarter holiday season. Our first quarter revenue is also positively impacted by the federal and state income tax refunds that our customers receive in the first quarter which, in the past, has led to our customers more frequently exercising the early purchase option on their lease agreements. In 2025, revenue was highest in the third quarter driven by growth of gross originations and timing. Adverse and other events that occur could have a disproportionate effect on our financial results throughout the year.

See “—Results of Operations" section below for total revenue amounts.

Gross Profit

Gross profit represents total revenue less cost of revenue, and is a measure presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

See “—Results of Operations” section below for gross profit amounts.

Adjusted Gross Profit

Adjusted gross profit is a non-GAAP measure utilized by management, representing gross profit less variable operating expenses, which are servicing costs and underwriting fees. We believe that adjusted gross profit provides a meaningful understanding of profitability when variable lease origination costs are included. See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below for a reconciliation of gross profit to adjusted gross profit.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that is defined as net loss before interest expense and other fees, stock-based compensation expense, debt refinancing costs and loss on extinguishment of term loan, change in fair value of warrants and derivative liability, transaction related costs, depreciation and amortization on property and equipment and capitalized software, litigation settlement and other related expenses, provision (benefit) for income taxes, interest income, and provision for impairment of leased assets. See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure utilized by management, to net loss.

Revenue

Total revenue is comprised of rental revenue and other revenue. Rental revenue is recognized in the period it is earned and cash is collected. Other revenue consists primarily of the sale of property held for lease (and lease agreements) to third parties and other immaterial sources of income from third party relationships, and is recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.

The increase in total revenue of $13.7 million, or 22.8%, during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily a result of gross originations growth and healthy customer payment collections. We saw gross originations growth during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 primarily as a result of our mobile app featuring Katapult Pay and growth from our direct merchants. Write-offs as a percentage of total revenue was 9.9% and 9.5% during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 and remains within our 8% to 10% target range. The provision for write-offs represents estimated losses based on historical results. Actual write-offs may differ from this estimate.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists primarily of depreciation expense related to property held for lease, accelerated depreciation for impairment of property held for lease, accelerated depreciation of early lease-purchase options (buyouts), payment processing fees, and other costs associated with offering lease-purchase transactions to customers.

The increase in cost of revenue of $11.1 million, or 23.0%, during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 was a result of higher gross origination growth and capitalized property held for leases. The increase in the property held for lease portfolio and the historical lease portfolio collection patterns impact the associated depreciation expense, which includes accelerated depreciation for early lease-purchase options (buyouts), and accelerated depreciation for impairment charges related to property held for lease. As depreciation expense is accelerated for buyouts and impairment, the

cost of sales is greater earlier in the property held for lease asset life. As a result, in periods of high gross origination growth with higher rates of property held for lease additions, cost of sales will be disproportionately higher as compared to revenue growth.

Gross Profit

Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue remained relatively flat at 19.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 19.8% for the same period in 2024.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses primarily consist of servicing costs, underwriting fees, professional and consulting fees, technology and data analytics expense, compensation costs, general and administrative expense and litigation settlement expenses. Servicing costs include permanent and temporary call center support. Underwriting fees primarily consist of data costs related to inputs for customer underwriting models. Professional and consulting fees include corporate legal, transaction related costs and accounting costs. Technology and data analytics expense includes technology costs and salaries and benefits for computer programming and data analytics employees that support our underlying technology and proprietary risk model algorithms. Compensation costs consist primarily of payroll and related costs and stock-based compensation. General and administrative expenses include insurance, occupancy costs, travel and entertainment, and other general overhead costs, including depreciation and amortization related to office equipment and software. Litigation settlement expenses consist of agreed upon settlement amounts that are probable and estimable and associated legal fees. Transaction related costs consist of professional fees and other expenses incurred in connection with financing and strategic activities. See Note 12 Subsequent Events for more details.

The decrease in total operating expenses of $4.3 million, or 26.3%, during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in litigation settlement expenses of $3.2 million and a decrease in personnel costs of $2.1 million partially offset by an increase in transaction related costs of $1.0 million.

Interest Expense and Other Fees.

Interest expense increased $1.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024. The increase in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was primarily attributable to higher average outstanding principal balances under the Existing and New Revolving Facility as well as changes in the interest-rate structure associated with the refinancing completed in June 2025. In connection with the refinancing, the New Term Loan transitioned to a fixed 18% payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest rate, replacing the variable SOFR-based rate that applied to the Existing Term Loan during the prior-year period. These increases were partially offset by a decline in the average SOFR rate and the overall effective interest rate on the Company’s debt period-over-period.

Revenue

The increase in total revenue of $33.6 million, or 18.3%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily a result of gross origination growth and strong collection efforts. We saw gross origination growth during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 primarily as a result of our mobile app featuring Katapult Pay and growth from our direct merchants. Write-offs as a percentage of total revenue was 9.6% and 9.1% during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 and remains within our 8% to 10% target range. The provision for write-offs represents estimated losses based on historical results. Actual write-offs may differ from this estimate.

Cost of Revenue

The increase in cost of revenue of $31.9 million, or 21.9%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 was a result of higher gross origination growth and historical collection results of our lease portfolio period-over-period, which impacts the associated depreciation expense, buyout reserves, and impairment charges related to property held for lease. The increase in the property held for lease portfolio and the historical lease portfolio collection patterns impact the associated depreciation expense, which includes accelerated depreciation for early lease-purchase options (buyouts), and accelerated depreciation for impairment charges related to property held for lease. As depreciation expense is accelerated for buyouts and impairment, the cost of sales is greater earlier in the property held for lease asset life. As a result, in periods of high gross origination growth with higher rates of property held for lease additions, cost of sales will be disproportionately higher as compared to revenue growth.

Gross Profit

Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 18.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 20.8% for the same period in 2024 primarily due to the increase in cost of revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Cost of revenue is impacted by higher gross originations growth causing an increase to property held for lease and accelerated depreciation expense as outlined in the Cost of Revenue section above.

Operating Expenses

The decrease in total operating expenses of $2.1 million, or 5.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to lower litigation settlement expenses of $2.7 million, and lower stock-based compensation expense of $1.7 million, partially offset by $1.0 million of transaction related costs and $1.4 million of debt refinancing related costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024.

Interest Expense and Other Fees

Interest expense increased $2.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period during 2024. The increase in interest expense and other fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily attributable to higher average outstanding principal balances under the Existing and New Revolving Facility and Term Loan as well as changes in the interest-rate structure associated with the refinancing completed in June 2025. In connection with the refinancing, the New Term Loan transitioned to a fixed 18% payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest rate, replacing the variable SOFR-based rate that applied to the Existing Term Loan during the prior-year period. These increases were partially offset by a decline in the average SOFR rate and the overall effective interest rate on the Company’s debt period-over-period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to gross profit and net loss, which are measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe that adjusted gross profit, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and fixed cash operating expenses provide relevant and useful information, which is widely used by analysts, investors, and competitors in our industry in assessing performance. Adjusted gross profit, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) and fixed cash operating expenses are supplemental measures of our performance that are neither required by nor presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) should not be considered as substitutes for U.S. GAAP metrics such as gross profit, operating loss, net loss, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

Adjusted gross profit, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss are useful to an investor in evaluating our performance because these measures:

•Are widely used to measure a company’s operating performance;

•Are financial measurements that are used by rating agencies, lenders and other parties to evaluate our credit worthiness; and

•Are considered by our management for various purposes, including as measures of performance and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.

Adjusted Gross Profit

Adjusted gross profit represents gross profit less variable operating expenses related to lease originations, which are servicing costs and underwriting fees. We believe that adjusted gross profit provides a meaningful understanding of one aspect of our performance specifically attributable to total revenue and the variable costs associated with total revenue. The reconciliations of gross profit to adjusted gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2025		2024		2025		2024

Adjusted gross profit	$	12,615	$	10,299	$	34,318	$	33,442

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net loss before interest expense and other fees, stock-based compensation expense, debt refinancing costs and loss on extinguishment of term loan, change in fair value of warrants and derivative liability, transaction related costs, depreciation and amortization on property and equipment and capitalized software, litigation settlement and other related expenses, provision (benefit) for income taxes, interest income, and provision for impairment of leased assets. We believe that adjusted EBITDA provides a meaningful understanding of our operating performance.

The reconciliations of net loss to adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

(1)For the three months ended September 30, 2025, debt refinancing costs consist of expenses associated with the Special Meeting of Stockholders held on August 6, 2025, to obtain shareholder approval for the issuance of convertible shares and warrants as required by the Refinancing Agreement.

Adjusted Net Loss

Adjusted net loss is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net loss before stock-based compensation expense, debt refinancing costs and loss on extinguishment of term loan, change in fair value of warrants and derivative liability, transaction related costs, and litigation settlement and other related expenses.

The reconciliations of net loss to adjusted net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

Adjusted net loss	(958)		(4,071)		(9,973)		(8,500)

Fixed Cash Operating Expenses

Fixed cash operating expenses is a non-GAAP measure that is defined as operating expenses less variable lease costs such as servicing costs and underwriting fees, stock-based compensation expense, debt refinancing costs, transaction related costs, depreciation and amortization on property and equipment and capitalized software, and litigation settlement and other related expenses. We believe fixed cash operating expenses illustrate the ongoing expenses that we control. The reconciliations of operating expenses to fixed cash operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2025		2024		2025		2024

LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES (dollars in thousands)

The Company’s financing is generally comprised of cash from leases and borrowings from the Refinancing Agreement, which is fully collateralized by our assets. As of November 7, 2025, we had a principal balance outstanding of approximately $70.0 million related to the New Revolving Facility.

Restricted cash consists primarily of customer lease payments received in a collection account pending release by the Company's lender. Restrictions are released on a weekly basis pursuant to completion of waterfall and borrowing base requirements.

Our revenue and operating results depend significantly on gross originations, which is defined as the retail price of the merchandise associated with lease-purchase agreements entered into during the period. Gross originations are a leading indicator of potential revenue streams. Revenue is recognized over a period of time subsequent to the gross origination date (on average over 8 months).

The following table presents cash used in operating, investing, and financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2025		2024
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at beginning of period	$	16,552	$	28,811
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	796		(4,070)
Investing activities	(961)		(656)
Financing activities	(7,431)		6,208
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of period	$	8,956	$	30,293

The change in cash provided by / used in operating activities of $4.9 million for the 2025 period compared to the 2024 period is primarily driven by changes in net loss, adjusted for non-cash charges and higher spending on property held for lease; partially offset by changes in working capital.

The increase in cash used in investing activities of $0.3 million for the 2025 period compared to the 2024 period is primarily due to an increase in capitalized software additions.

The change in cash used in / provided by in financing activities of $13.6 million in the 2025 period compared to the 2024 period is primarily driven by a $6.6 million increase in principal repayments on the Existing and New Revolving Credit Facilities and a $3.7 million increase in deferred financing costs, and a $3.2 million decrease in net proceeds from the Existing Revolving Facility.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we received $9.6 million due to a timing error in our third-party loan processor validation process for the three months ended December 31, 2023, causing proceeds to be higher during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we corrected our borrowing base calculation, which resulted in a $5.8 million principal repayment to our lender and represents the primary driver of the increase in principal repayments in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Additionally, we paid $3.7 million in deferred financing costs in connection with the Refinancing Agreement during the period.

Going Concern

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

We plan to continue to work closely with Blue Owl to mitigate any potential adverse impact from the covenant provisions of the New Revolving Credit Facility. We anticipate that we will not have sufficient cash available to repay the New Revolving Credit Facility in the Event of Default.

Financing Arrangements

Refinancing Agreement

For information on our obligations under the Refinancing Agreement, see Note 5 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Pledge and Guaranty

Pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, dated as of May 14, 2019, between Katapult Group, Inc. (f/k/a Cognical, Inc.) and Midtown Madison Management, LLC, Katapult Group, Inc. pledged and granted a first priority security interest in all equity interests of the Borrower and any investment property and general intangibles evidenced by or related to such membership interests. Pursuant to the Corporate Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated as of December 4, 2020, by and among Katapult Group, Inc., Legacy Katapult and Midtown Madison Management, LLC, Katapult and Katapult Group, Inc. have granted a first priority security interest in all of their respective assets and Katapult and Katapult Group, Inc. guarantee payment of all obligations of the Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement. In connection with the Refinancing Agreement, the respective obligations under each of the Pledge Agreement and Corporate Guaranty and Security Agreement were reaffirmed and all references to the Existing Credit Agreement in each such agreement thereafter were deemed to refer to the Refinancing Agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. We evaluate our significant estimates on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, impacting our reported results of operations and financial condition.

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for a discussion of accounting pronouncements recently adopted and recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted and their potential impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Smaller Reporting Company

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Exchange Act. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies and will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk (dollars in thousands)

We are exposed to a variety of market and other risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates, and inflation, as well as risks to the availability of funding sources and other risks. Our investments are exposed to market risk due to a fluctuation in interest rates, which may affect our interest income and the fair market value of our investments.

Interest Rate Risk

The market risk inherent in our financial instruments and our financial position represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates. We manage our interest rate risk based on an ongoing assessment of trends in interest rates and economic developments, giving consideration to possible effects on both total return and reported earnings. As a result of

such assessment, we may enter into swap contracts or other interest rate protection agreements from time to time to mitigate this risk.

In connection with the Refinancing Agreement, the New Revolving Facility accrues interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR, subject to a 3% floor and an applicable credit adjustment spread of 0.10%, plus 7.00% per annum. As of September 30, 2025, the interest rate on the New Revolving Facility was 11.9%.

In connection with the Refinancing Agreement, our New Term Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to 18.0%, which interest accrues to the principal balance as PIK interest on a weekly basis. Further discussion is included in Note 5.

The effect of a hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would not have had a material impact on the fair market value of our investments as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. A 100 basis point change in interest rates would cause our New Revolving Facility and New Term Loan annual interest expense to change by approximately $0.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Inflation Risk

Although we believe that inflation has indirectly impacted our business by negatively impacting consumer spending and the sales of our key merchants, we do not believe that inflation has directly had, or currently directly has, a material effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of September 30, 2025.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time we may become involved with various legal proceedings. Refer to the information contained under the heading “Commitments and Contingencies” in Note 9 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business is subject to a number of risks of which you should be aware before making a decision to invest in our securities. The summarized risks described below are not the only risks that we face. The following summarized risks as well as risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, earnings per share, cash flow or the trading price of our common stock. These summarized risks include, among others, the following:

Risks Related to our Preferred Stock

•Our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock could further reduce the voting power and dilute the ownership of existing holders of our common stock, and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

•Until the Requisite Stockholder Approval is obtained, if at all, the Preferred Stock will accrue Dividends at an annual rate of at least 18% compounding weekly.

•If the Requisite Stockholder Approval is obtained, the Preferred Stock would be convertible in full and would allow the holders thereof to become the majority owners of the Company.

Risks Related to the Refinancing Agreement and our Indebtedness

•If we trigger an event of default under the Refinancing Agreement and such event of default is not waived by our Lender, the Refinancing Agreement would terminate and our obligations under the Refinancing Agreement would accelerate, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position.

•We have substantial indebtedness, which may reduce our capability to withstand adverse developments or business conditions.

•The Refinancing Agreement governing the New Revolving Facility includes restrictive covenants and financial maintenance covenants, which could restrict our operations or ability to pursue growth strategies or initiatives including potential mergers and acquisitions opportunities. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in an acceleration of repayment of the indebtedness under the Refinancing Agreement, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Business, Strategy and Growth

•A meaningful percentage of our gross originations are concentrated with a single merchant, and any deterioration in the business of, or in our relationship with this merchant or any other key merchant relationship or partner could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

•If we are unable to attract additional direct merchants and retain and grow our relationships with our existing direct merchants, our results of operations, financial condition, and prospects would be materially and adversely affected.

•Unexpected changes to consumer behavior could cause our proprietary algorithms and decisioning tools used in approving customers to no longer be indicative of our customer's ability to perform.

•Our success depends on the effective implementation and continued execution of our strategies.

•If we fail to maintain customer satisfaction and trust in our brand our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects would be materially and adversely affected.

•If we are unable to attract new customers and retain and grow our relationships with our existing customers, or if attracting or retaining customers is not cost-efficient, our results of operations, financial condition, and prospects would be materially and adversely affected.

•Our estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the market in which we compete achieves its forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all.

•The success and growth of our business depends upon our ability to continuously innovate and develop new products and technologies.

Financial Risks Related to Our Business

•We have a history of operating losses and may not be profitable in the future.

•We rely on card issuers and payment processors. If we fail to comply with the applicable requirements of Visa, Mastercard or other payment processors, those payment processors could seek to fine us, suspend us or terminate our registrations which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

Risks Related to Our Technology and Our Platform

•Real or perceived software errors, failures, bugs, defects, or outages could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

•Our results depend on continued integration and support of our platforms, including our direct and/or waterfall integration technologies by our merchant partners.

•We rely on KPay enabled merchants to allow access to their stores through our mobile app and our desktop and mobile websites.

•We are subject to stringent and changing laws, regulations, rules, standards and contractual obligations related to data privacy and security, which could increase the cost of doing business, compliance risks and potential liability and otherwise negatively affect our operating results and business regulations.

•Any significant disruption in, or errors in, service on our platform or relating to vendors, including events beyond our control, could prevent us from processing transactions on our platform or posting payments and have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

•Data security breaches or other security incidents with respect to our information technology systems, networks or data, or those of third parties upon which we rely, could result in adverse consequences, including but not limited to regulatory investigations, litigation, fines and penalties, disruption of our business operations, reputational harm, loss of revenue or profits, and loss of customers.

•Failure to adequately obtain, maintain, protect, defend and enforce our intellectual property and proprietary rights could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Legal and Compliance Risks

•We are subject to sales, income and other taxes, which can be difficult and complex to calculate due to the nature of our businesses. A failure to correctly calculate and pay such taxes, or an unfavorable outcome on uncertain tax positions we may record from time to time, may result in substantial tax liabilities and a material adverse effect on several aspects of our performance.

•Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion, and we will not be able to achieve our objectives and will have to cease operations if we cannot repay our indebtedness when it comes due, or adequately fund our operations.

•If we fail to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, our ability to accurately and timely report our financial results could be adversely affected.

•Changes to tax laws or exposure to additional tax liabilities may have a negative impact on our operating results.

•We are subject to legal proceedings from time to time which seek material damages or otherwise may have a material adverse effect on our business.

Operational Risks Related to Our Business

•Uncertain market and economic conditions have had, and may in the future have, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and share price.

•Failure to effectively manage our costs could have a material adverse effect on our profitability.

•Misconduct and errors by our employees, vendors, and service providers could harm our business and reputation.

Other Risks

•Our business depends on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled employees.

A description of the risks and uncertainties associated with our business is set forth below. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline.

Risks Related to our Preferred Stock

Our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock could further reduce the voting power and dilute the ownership of existing holders of our common stock, and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

As further described Note 12. Subsequent Events, on November 3, 2025, we issued and sold an aggregate of 35,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and an aggregate 30,000 shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to the Purchaser. Prior to, and except with respect to, the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Purchaser can vote the Series A

Convertible Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis with holders of our common stock, subject to the Ownership Limitation and never in an amount greater than 87.7963 votes per share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (regardless of any adjustments to the conversion rate other than proportionate adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits or stock combinations with respect to the common stock) (the “Minimum Price Limitation”). Following the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Purchaser would be able to vote the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis with holders of our common stock, subject to the Minium Price Limitation. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock does not have the right to vote on an as-converted basis with holders our common stock at any time. Following the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Purchaser would also be able to fully convert the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to common stock at any time. In addition, both of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock entitle the holder thereof to receive regular dividends (the “Dividends”) which will be payable in cash or in kind at the Company’s election (1) weekly, for the period beginning on, and including, November 3, 2025 and ending on, but excluding, the date the Requisite Stockholder Approval is obtained, and (2) quarterly, beginning on, and including, the date the Requisite Stockholder Approval is obtained. The Dividends accrue at an annual rate of (a) 18% per annum for the period beginning on, and including, November 3, 2025 and ending on, but excluding, the later of (i) the date of the meeting at which the Company’s stockholders vote for the Requisite Stockholder Approval is approved and (ii) the date of the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders and (b) 12% per annum beginning on, and including, the later of (i) the date of the meeting at which the Company’s stockholders vote for the Requisite Stockholder Approval is approved and (ii) the date of the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. If the Requisite Stockholder Approval is not obtained on or before the earlier of (a) the date of the Company’s first annual or special meeting of stockholders following the Initial Issue Date and (b) February 27, 2026, then the Dividend rate will be increased by one percent (1%) during the period from, and including, such deadline to, but excluding, the date when the Requisite Stockholder Approval is first obtained, if at all. The accrual of Dividends paid in kind would, among other things, lead to an increase the number of shares of common stock that the Purchaser would be able to receive upon conversion of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

The issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has reduced, and the Requisite Stockholder Approval would further reduce, the voting power of our existing holders of common stock. Following the Requisite Stockholder Approval, conversions of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to common stock could also further reduce the voting power of our existing holders of common stock. The issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock has diluted the ownership interest of our existing holders of common stock, and the accrual of Dividends paid in kind could continue to further dilute that ownership interest. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock rank senior to our common stock with respect to liquidation preference and would, among other things, limit the dividends and distributions payable to our common stockholders on any liquidation, winding-up and dissolution of the Company. Such reduction in voting power and substantial dilution of ownership rights may adversely affect the market price for our common stock.

Securities class action litigation is often initiated against companies whose stock price declines following significant transactions by a company, such as transactions of the type that resulted in our issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to the Purchaser. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources, and could also require us to make substantial payments to satisfy judgments or to settle litigation.

Until the Requisite Stockholder Approval is obtained, if at all, the Preferred Stock will accrue Dividends at an annual rate of at least 18% compounding weekly.

Holders of our Preferred Stock are entitled to receive Dividends which compound (1) weekly, for the period beginning on, and including, November 3, 2025 and ending on, but excluding, the Requisite Stockholder Vote and (2) quarterly, beginning on, and including, the date the Requisite Stockholder Approval is obtained. The Dividends will accrue at a rate of (a) 18% per annum for the period beginning on, and including, November 3, 2025 and ending on, but excluding, the later of (i) the date of the meeting at which the Company’s stockholders vote for the Requisite Stockholder Approval is approved and (ii) the date of the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders and (b) 12% per annum beginning on, and including, the later of (i) the date of the meeting at which the Company’s stockholders vote for the Requisite Stockholder Approval is approved and (ii) the date of the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. In addition, if the Requisite Stockholder Approval is not obtained on or before the earlier of (a) the date of the Company’s first annual or special meeting of stockholders following November 3, 2025 and (b) February 27, 2026 (the “Dividend Step-up Deadline”), then the Dividend rate will be increased by one percent (1%) during the period from, and including, the Dividend Step-up Deadline, but excluding, the date when the Requisite Stockholder Approval is first obtained, if at all.

If the Requisite Stockholder Approval is not obtained, the Dividend rate will never decrease from 18% compounding weekly to the minimum Dividend rate of 12% compounding quarterly and may increase to 19% compounding weekly if the Requisite Stockholder Approval is not obtained by the Dividend Step-up Deadline, and this could have adverse effects on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Requisite Stockholder Approval is subject to a vote of the existing holders of the Company’s common stock (excluding, pursuant to Nasdaq listing rules, any shares of Preferred Stock the holder is entitled to vote on an as-converted basis, or any shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock). There can be no assurances that the Requisite Stockholder Approval will be obtained by the Dividend Step-up Deadline, if at all.

If the Requisite Stockholder Approval is obtained, the Preferred Stock would be convertible in full and would allow the holders thereof to become the majority owners of the Company.

The Purchaser is the current holder of all Preferred Stock and may not transfer the Preferred Stock or the shares of our common stock underlying such Preferred Stock for a period of 12 months or until a Fundamental Change of Control (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), and subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Investment Agreements. Prior the Requisite Stockholder Approval, any conversion of Preferred Stock to our common stock is subject to the Ownership Limitation, such that Purchaser would not be able to convert its Preferred Stock into a majority of our common stock prior to the Requisite Stockholder Approval.

Following the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Purchaser or other holder may convert any or all of the Preferred Stock to common stock at any time prior to redemption, including an amount of Preferred Stock sufficient to obtain a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company upon conversion. The Purchaser, or another individual, group or company that obtains sufficient Preferred Stock that is freely convertible to a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company (a “Majority Holder”), would be able to exercise significant influence over us, including control over decisions that require the approval of stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to influence the outcome of key transactions, including a change of control. There can be no assurances that the Preferred Stock held by a Majority Holder would not be converted to a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company following the Requisite Stockholder Approval, or if so converted, as to the period of time during which such Majority Holder would be able to so influence and control our decisions.

Under Nasdaq listing rules, a company of which more than a majority of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including certain requirements regarding independence of directors and board committee members. Following the Requisite Stockholder Approval, we could become a “controlled company” of a Majority Holder and choose not to comply with those corporate governance requirements. Accordingly, our stockholders would not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq. There can be no assurance as to the period of time during which we would remain a “controlled company”, if we became one.

Risks Related to the Refinancing Agreement and our Indebtedness

If the Lender’s waiver of our existing event of default expires and is not otherwise extended, or if we trigger another event of default under the Refinancing Agreement and such event of default is not waived by our Lender, the Refinancing Agreement would terminate and our obligations under the Refinancing Agreement would accelerate, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position.

The Refinancing Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants that restrict some of our activities. The negative covenants limit our ability to: incur additional indebtedness; pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions; amend our material agreements; make investments; create liens; transfer or sell the collateral for the Refinancing Agreement; make negative pledges; consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. Our ability to meet these covenants could be affected by events beyond our control, and we may be unable to satisfy them. The Refinancing Agreement contains certain financial covenants. In particular, (1) as of the end of each month, we must maintain certain minimum Trailing Three-Month Net Originations representing net lease costs of newly originated leases in the immediately trailing three calendar month period and (2) we must maintain minimum liquidity of at least $5.0 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as of the last business day of any calendar week. We have failed to comply with similar or identical obligations in the past under the Existing Credit Agreement and may do so in the future under the Refinancing Agreement. We have been in the past unable to comply with the financial covenants and certain reporting covenants in the Existing Credit Agreement and may in the future be unable to comply with such covenants in the Refinancing Agreement, and we may from time to time fail to comply with (or breach) other covenants or requirements of the Refinancing Agreement. For example, as of each of July 31, 2025, August 31, 2025,

September 30, 2025 and October 31, 2025, we were not in compliance with the Minimum Trailing Three-Month Originations covenant and the Lender granted a waiver thereof in each case. We could continue fail to comply with such covenant or any other covenant or requirement of the Refinancing Agreement and trigger an additional event of default under the Refinancing Agreement. We anticipate that we will not have sufficient cash available to repay the New Revolving Credit Facility under the Refinancing Agreement in the event of default.

If we trigger another event of default under the Refinancing Agreement and any such event of default is not waived by our Lenders, we would not be able to borrow under the Refinancing Agreement, and our Lenders would have the right to terminate the loan commitments under the Refinancing Agreement, accelerate repayment of all obligations under the Refinancing Agreement, and foreclose its liens against substantially all of our assets and take possession and sell any such assets to reduce any such obligations. While the Lenders have previously granted the Company waivers of certain events of default under the Existing Credit Agreement and the Refinancing Agreement there is no guarantee that they will be willing to do so in the future. In addition, the rights of the Lenders under the Refinancing Agreement are fully transferable and assignable and there is no guarantee that any transferee will be willing to grant any such waivers or have interests that align with the Company and its stockholders. In the case of an event of default in respect of which we are unable to negotiate with our Lenders for a waiver or dispensation or upon maturity, if we do not have sufficient liquid assets to repay amounts outstanding under the Refinancing Agreement, the Lenders have the right to foreclose their liens against all of our assets and take possession and sell any such assets to reduce any such obligations. As a result, we would likely be unable to continue our operations, be unable to avoid filing for bankruptcy protection and/or have an involuntary bankruptcy case filed against us. These events would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position.

We have substantial indebtedness, which may reduce our capability to withstand adverse developments or business conditions.

We have incurred substantial indebtedness. As of September 30, 2025, the total aggregate indebtedness under the Refinancing Agreement was approximately $114.1 million of principal outstanding. We, together with our wholly-owned subsidiary, Katapult Group, Inc., have guaranteed the obligations of the Borrower under the Refinancing Agreement. Our payments on our outstanding indebtedness are significant in relation to our revenue and cash flow, which exposes us to significant risk in the event of downturns in our business (whether through competitive pressures or otherwise), our industry or the economy generally, since our cash flows would decrease but our required payments under our indebtedness would not. Economic downturns may impact our ability to comply with the covenants and restrictions in our Refinancing Agreement and to make payments on our indebtedness as they become due.

Our overall leverage and the terms of our Refinancing Agreement could also:

•make it more difficult for us to satisfy obligations;

•limit our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures or acquisitions;

•limit our ability to service our indebtedness;

•limit our ability to adapt to changing market conditions;

•restrict us from making strategic acquisitions or cause us to make non-strategic divestitures;

•require us to dedicate a significant portion of our cash flow from operations to paying the principal and interest on our indebtedness, thereby limiting our ability to reach profitability and the availability of our cash flow to fund future capital expenditures, working capital and other corporate purposes;

•limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and in our industry generally; and

•place us at a competitive disadvantage compared with competitors that have a less significant debt burden.

In addition, the Refinancing Agreement is secured by a pledge over all of the assets of the Borrower, is guaranteed by us and our wholly owned subsidiary, Katapult Group, Inc., which in turn is secured by a pledge over all of our assets and the assets of Katapult Group, Inc.

The Refinancing Agreement governing the New Revolving Facility includes restrictive covenants and financial maintenance covenants, which could restrict our operations or ability to pursue growth strategies or initiatives, including potential mergers and acquisitions opportunities. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in an acceleration of repayment of the indebtedness under the Refinancing Agreement, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Refinancing Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants that restrict some of our activities. The negative covenants limit our ability to: incur additional indebtedness; pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions; amend our material agreements; make investments; create liens; transfer or sell the collateral for the Refinancing Agreement; make negative pledges; consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. Non-scheduled repayments of certain amounts under the Refinancing Agreement are subject to certain restrictions. Our ability to meet these covenants could be affected by events beyond our control, and we may be unable to satisfy them which would prevent us from pursuing certain growth strategies or initiatives due to this limitation. These or other limitations could decrease our operating flexibility and our ability to achieve our operating objectives. The Refinancing Agreement contains certain financial covenants. In particular, (1) as of the end of each month, we must maintain certain minimum Trailing Three-Month Net Originations representing net lease costs of newly originated leases in the immediately trailing three calendar month period and (2) we must maintain minimum liquidity of at least $5.0 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as of the last business day of any calendar week. These financial covenants are restrictive and failure to comply with these covenants would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We have been in the past unable to comply with the financial covenants and certain reporting covenants in the Existing Credit Agreement and may in the future be unable to comply with such covenants in the Refinancing Agreement, and we may from time to time fail to comply with (or breach) other covenants or requirements of the Refinancing Agreement. In such event, if we are unable to negotiate with our Lenders for a waiver or dispensation under the agreement, we would not be able to borrow under the Refinancing Agreement and our Lenders would have the right to terminate the loan commitments under the Refinancing Agreement and accelerate repayment of all obligations under the Refinancing Agreement, which would become due and payable immediately, and such an event would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position. While the Lenders have previously granted the Company waivers of certain events of default under the Existing Credit Agreement there is no guarantee that they will be willing to do so in the future. In addition, the rights of the Lenders under the Refinancing Agreement are fully transferable and assignable and there is no guarantee that any transferee will be willing to grant any such waivers or have interests that align with the Company and its stockholders. In the event of default or upon maturity if we do not have sufficient liquid assets to repay amounts outstanding under the Refinancing Agreement, the Lenders have the right to foreclose their liens against all of our assets and take possession and sell any such assets to reduce any such obligations. As a result, we would likely be unable to continue our operations, be unable to avoid filing for bankruptcy protection and/or have an involuntary bankruptcy case filed against us. These events would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position.

Risks Related to Our Business, Strategy and Growth

To the extent that we seek to grow through future acquisitions, or other strategic investments or alliances, we may not be able to do so effectively.

We may in the future seek to grow our business by exploring potential acquisitions or other strategic investments or alliances. We may not be successful in identifying businesses or opportunities that meet our acquisition or expansion criteria. In addition, even if a potential acquisition target or other strategic investment is identified, we may not be successful in completing such acquisition or integrating such new business or other investment. Certain business combinations, share exchanges, reclassifications or other corporate actions involving the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, as the case may be, will require the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares thereof, voting as separate classes, unless such events do not adversely affect the rights, preferences or voting powers of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, as the case may be, and this requirement may limit the terms we are able to offer in a potential acquisition or investment. We may face significant competition for acquisition and other strategic investment opportunities from other well-capitalized companies, many of which have greater financial resources and greater access to debt and equity capital to secure and complete acquisitions or other strategic investments, than we do. As a result of such competition, we may be unable to acquire certain assets or businesses, or take advantage of other strategic investment opportunities that we deem attractive; the purchase price for a given strategic opportunity may be significantly elevated; or certain other terms or circumstances may be substantially more onerous.

There is no assurance that we will be able to manage our growth effectively, and any failure to do so could adversely affect our ability to generate revenue and control our expenses. Furthermore, we may be responsible for any legacy liabilities of businesses we acquire or be subject to additional liability in connection with other strategic investments. The existence or amount of these liabilities may not be known at the time of acquisition, or other strategic investment, and may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

A meaningful percentage of our gross originations are concentrated with a single merchant, and any deterioration in the business of, or in our relationship with, this merchant or any other key merchant relationship or partner could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

We depend on continued relationships with Wayfair and other key merchants. Our top merchant, Wayfair, represented approximately 25% and 48% of our gross originations (which we define as the retail price of the merchandise associated with lease-purchase agreements entered into and do not represent revenue earned) for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and approximately 26% and 48% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Gross originations from Wayfair exclude transactions through Katapult Pay and only include transactions directly through the Wayfair waterfall platform. Our top ten direct merchants, which are merchants with whom we have a direct contractual arrangement, in the aggregate represented approximately 47% and 55% of our gross originations for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and approximately 48% and 59% of our gross originations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The loss of any of our significant merchant partners, and in particular the loss of Wayfair, would materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects. In addition, a material modification in the merchant agreement with Wayfair or another significant merchant or changes in the prominence of our solution on a significant merchant’s website or prioritization of our solution in a significant merchant’s waterfall could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

There can be no guarantee that these direct merchant relationships will continue or, if they do continue, that these relationships will continue to be successful. There is a risk that we may lose merchants for a variety of reasons, including a failure to meet key contractual or commercial requirements, or if merchants shift to in-house solutions (including providing a service competitive to us) or competitor providers.

If our relationship with Wayfair or another key merchant deteriorates, they choose to no longer partner with us, or choose to partner with a competitor, or their business is negatively impacted by one or more factors, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects will be materially and adversely affected.

The concentration of a significant portion of our business and transaction volume with a single merchant or a limited number of merchants exposes us disproportionately to events, circumstances, or risks affecting such single merchant, such as Wayfair, or our other key merchants. For example, supply chain issues have in the past and may in the future negatively impact the sales of many of our merchants which in turn has contributed to a decline in our gross origination volume during the applicable periods. If our key merchant partners, in particular Wayfair, are unable to acquire new customers or retain existing customers or are otherwise negatively impacted by the macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, our results of operations, financial condition and prospects will be negatively impacted.

We also depend on continued relationships with key partners that assist in obtaining and maintaining our relationships with merchants. There is a risk that e-commerce platforms with which we partner (such as Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and Magneto) may limit or prevent Katapult from being offered as a payment option at checkout. We also face the risk that our key partners could become competitors of our business.

If we are unable to attract additional direct merchants and retain and grow our relationships with our existing direct merchants, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects would be materially and adversely affected.

Our strategy to grow our gross originations partially depends on our ability to maintain and grow our relationships with current direct merchants and to attract select new direct merchants that will stimulate consumer demand on our platform. The attractiveness of our platform to merchants depends on, among other things, our brand and reputation, our ability to sustain our value proposition to merchants for consumer acquisition, the attractiveness of our platform to merchants, the services, products and consumer decision standards offered by our competitors, and our ability to perform under, and maintain, our merchant agreements.

The success of our business is dependent on customers making payments on their leases when due and other factors affecting consumer spending and default behavior that are not under our control.

We generate substantially all of our revenue through payments on leases we provide to customers to obtain the merchandise of our merchants and we bear the risk of non-payment or late payments by our customers. As such, the success of our business is dependent on customers making payments on their leases when due. We primarily provide leases to non-prime customers who do not have sufficient cash or credit to obtain durable goods. The ability of these customers to make payments to us when due may be impacted by a variety of factors, such as loss of employment, deteriorating economic conditions and other factors including but not limited to disposable consumer income, inflation, consumer confidence in future economic conditions and political conditions, and consumer perceptions of personal well-being and security. Unfavorable changes in factors listed above could reduce demand for our products and services resulting in lower revenue and negatively impacting our business and our financial results. In addition to reducing demand for our products, these factors may unfavorably impact our customers' ability or willingness to make lease payments in a timely manner or at all, resulting in increased customer payment delinquencies and lease merchandise write-offs and decreased gross margins, which could also materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Unexpected changes to consumer behavior could cause our proprietary algorithms and decisioning tools used in approving customers to no longer be indicative of our customer's ability to perform.

We believe our proprietary lease decisioning processes to be a key to the success of our business. The decisioning processes assume behavior and attributes observed for prior customers, among other factors, are indicative of performance by our future customers. Unexpected changes in consumer behavior caused by changing economic conditions and other factors may mean that our decisioning tools may not function as intended. As a result, we may approve customers that are not able to perform, which would lead to increased customer delinquencies, increased lease merchandise write-offs and decreased gross margins. When there are unexpected changes to consumer behavior, our decisioning process typically requires more frequent adjustments and the application of management analysis of the interpretation and adjustment of the results produced by our decisioning tools. If there is a challenging macro environment, we may need to make more frequent adjustments to our decisioning process in the near term. If our decisioning tools are unable to accurately predict and respond to changes to consumer behaviors as a result of general economic or other factors, our ability to manage risk and avoid charge-offs may be negatively affected, which may result in insufficient reserves and materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our success depends on the effective implementation and continued execution of our strategies.

We are focused on our mission to provide innovative lease financing solutions to non-prime customers and to enable everyday essential transactions at the merchant point of sale.

Growth of our business, including through the launch of new product offerings, requires us to invest in or expand our customer data and technology capabilities, engage and retain experienced management, and otherwise incur additional costs. For example, since we launched the app in late 2022, transactions that were completed using KPay have grown to represent 41% and 39% of our total gross originations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. Approximately 60% of our 2025 gross originations started with an interaction in our mobile app.

However, these product enhancements may not continue to generate the additional consumer and merchant engagement with our offerings that we expect. If these or other strategic initiatives are not successful longer-term, our competitiveness as well as our business and financial results may be materially and adversely affected. Our inability to address these concerns or otherwise to achieve targeted results associated with our initiatives could adversely affect our results of operations, or negatively impact our ability to successfully execute future strategies, which may result in an adverse impact on our business and financial results.

If we fail to maintain customer satisfaction and trust in our brand, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects would be materially and adversely affected.

We provide a lease-to-own financing option for qualified customers seeking to obtain durable goods from omnichannel and e-commerce merchants. If customers do not trust our brand or do not have a positive experience, they will not use our services. Consequently, our ability to retain customers and attract repeat business is highly dependent on our reputation among our existing customers and merchants. Any failure to maintain a consistently high level of customer service, or a market perception that we do not maintain high-quality customer service, would adversely affect our reputation and the number of positive

customer referrals that we receive and the number of new and repeat customers. As a result, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects would be materially and adversely affected.

If we are unable to attract new customers and retain and grow our relationships with our existing customers, or if attracting or retaining customers is not cost-efficient, our results of operations, financial condition, and prospects would be materially and adversely affected.

Our continued success depends on our ability to generate repeat use and increased gross originations from existing customers and to attract new consumers to our platform. Our ability to retain and grow our relationships with our customers depends on the willingness of customers to use our products and services, including our mobile app and Katapult Pay. The attractiveness of our Katapult App to consumers depends upon, among other things, the number and variety of our merchants and the mix of products and services available through our platform, our brand and reputation, customer experience and satisfaction, trust and perception of the value we provide, technological innovation, and the services, products and customer decisioning standards offered by our competitors. If we fail to attract new customers to our platform, products and services, or if we do not continually expand usage, repeat customers and gross originations, our results of operations, financial condition, and prospects would be materially and adversely affected.

We operate in a highly competitive industry, and our inability to compete successfully would materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

We operate in a highly competitive industry. We face competition from a variety of businesses and new market entrants, including competitors with lease-to-own products for e-commerce goods and other types of digital payment platforms. We face competition from virtual lease-to-own companies, e-commerce retailers (including those that offer layaway programs, title or installment lending or buy now, pay later programs), online sellers of used merchandise, and various types of consumer finance companies that may enable our customers to shop at online retailers, as well as with online rental stores that do not offer their customers a purchase option. These competitors may have significantly greater financial and operating resources, greater name recognition and more developed products and services, which may allow them to grow faster. Greater name recognition, or better public perception of a competitor’s reputation, may help the competitor take market share. Some competitors may be willing to offer competing products on an unprofitable basis (or may have looser decisioning standards or be willing to relax their decisioning standards) in an effort to gain market share, which could compel us to match their pricing strategy or lose business. Moreover, prime lenders may loosen their underwriting standards and provide credit to non-prime consumers, which would impact our gross origination as well as the credit quality of our customers and our business and results of operations. In addition, some of our competitors may be willing to lease certain types of products that we will not agree to lease, enter into customer leases that have services, as opposed to goods, as a significant portion of the lease value, or engage in other practices related to pricing, compliance, and other areas that we will not, in an effort to gain market share. Our business relies heavily on relationships with our merchants. Competitors undertaking these tactics could cause our merchants to cease to offer Katapult products in favor of our competitors, or to offer our product and the products of our competitors simultaneously, which could slow growth in our business and limit or reduce profitability. Merchants could also develop their own in-house product that competes with our product. Furthermore, virtual lease-to-own competitors may deploy different business models, such as direct-to-consumer strategies, that forego reliance on merchant relationships that may prove to be more successful.

Our estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the market in which we compete achieves its forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all.

Our market opportunity estimates, including the size of the virtual lease-to-own market, and expectations about market growth are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate, including our expectation with respect to the retail environment for home furnishings and other categories offered by our top merchant partners. Even if the markets in which we compete meet our size estimates and growth expectations, our business could fail to grow for a variety of reasons, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

We rely on the accuracy of third-party data, and inaccuracies in such data could adversely impact our approval process.

We use data from third parties as part of our proprietary risk model to assess whether a customer qualifies for one of our lease-purchase options. We are reliant on these third parties to ensure that the data they provide is accurate. Inaccurate data could cause us to not approve transactions that otherwise would have been approved, or instead, approve transactions that would have otherwise been denied and may lead to a higher incidence of bad debts and could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

The success and growth of our business depends upon our ability to continuously innovate and develop new products and technologies.

Our solution is a technology-driven platform that relies on innovation to remain competitive. The process of developing new technologies and products is complex, and we build our own technology, using the latest in artificial intelligence and machine learning ("AI/ML"), cloud-based technologies, and other tools to differentiate our products and technologies. See “—We utilize AI/ML, which could expose us to liability or adversely affect our business” in “Risks Related to Our Technology and Our Platform” for more information. In addition, our dedication to incorporating technological advancements into our platform requires significant financial and personnel resources. In addition, our investment of resources to develop new products and technologies and make changes or updates to our platform may be insufficient. Our development efforts for these initiatives could divert capital and other resources from other growth initiatives important to our business. In addition, the product and technological enhancements that we introduce may not function as we intend, or may not generate the benefits that we expect. We operate in an industry experiencing rapid technological change and frequent product introductions. We may not be able to make technological improvements as quickly as demanded by our customers and merchants, which could harm our ability to attract customers and merchants. In addition, we may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services as quickly as competitors or be successful in marketing these products and services to customers and merchants. If we are unable to successfully and timely innovate and continue to deliver a superior merchant and customer experience, the demand for our products and technologies may decrease and our growth, business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

Our failure to accurately predict the demand or growth of our new products and technologies also could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects. New products and technologies are inherently risky, due to, among other things, risks associated with: the product or technology not working, or not working as expected; customer and merchant acceptance; technological outages or failures; and the failure to meet customer and merchant expectations. As a result of these risks, we could experience increased claims, reputational damage, or other adverse effects, which could be material. The profile of potential customers using our new products and technologies also may not be as attractive as the profile of the customers that we currently serve, which may lead to higher levels of delinquencies or defaults than we have historically experienced. Additionally, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to develop, commercially market, and achieve acceptance of our new products and technologies. Failure to accurately predict demand or growth with respect to our new products and technologies could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

Financial Risks Related to Our Business

Our ability to timely raise capital in the future may be limited, or may be unavailable on acceptable terms, if at all.

The failure to raise capital when needed could harm our business, operating results and financial condition. Debt or equity issued to raise additional capital may reduce the value of our common stock. We cannot be certain when or if the operations of our business will generate sufficient cash to fund our ongoing operations or the growth of our business. We intend to make investments to support and grow our business and may require additional funds to respond to business challenges, including the need to develop or enhance our technology, expand our sales and marketing efforts or develop new products. Additional financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to invest in future growth opportunities, which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition. If we incur additional debt, the debt holders could have rights senior to holders of our common stock and/or existing debt to make claims on our assets. The terms of any additional debt could have covenants which restrict our operations, including our ability to pay dividends on our common stock, take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, or make capital expenditures. If we issue additional equity securities, stockholders will experience dilution, and the new equity securities could have rights senior to those of our common stock including liquidation or other preferences. Because the decision to issue securities in the future offering will depend on numerous considerations, including factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the

amount, timing or nature of any future issuances of debt or equity securities. As a result, stockholders will bear the risk of future issuances of debt or equity securities reducing the value of their common stock and diluting their interest.

We have a history of operating losses and may not be profitable in the future.

We incurred a net loss of $4.9 million and $18.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. In addition, we generated a net loss of $8.9 million and $16.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, our accumulated deficit was approximately $166.9 million. While our operating expenses decreased for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, our operating expenses during the first half of 2025 increased slightly when compared the first half of 2024, largely due to our efforts to refinance the Existing Credit Agreement, and we may need to further increase our operating expenses in the future in order to continue growing our business, attracting customers, merchants and funding sources, and further enhancing and developing our products and platforms. As we expand our offerings to additional markets, our offerings in these markets may be less profitable than the markets in which we currently operate. These efforts may prove more expensive than we currently anticipate, and we may not succeed in increasing our revenue sufficiently to offset these higher expenses. We may incur net losses in the future and may not be profitable on a quarterly or annual basis.

Our revenue and operating results may fluctuate, which could result in a decline in our profitability and make it more difficult for us to grow our business.

Our revenue and operating results have varied, and may in the future vary, from quarter to quarter and by season. Periods of decline have resulted, and could in the future result, in an overall decline in profitability and make it more difficult for us to make payments on our indebtedness and grow our business. We expect our quarterly results to fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors, including general economic conditions in the markets where we operate, and customer spending patterns, including the impact of holiday and seasonal sales and tax refunds.

Any significant disruption or errors relating to our loan providers and loan processor, could delay the processing of transactions on our platform or cause temporary fluctuations in cash use and have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

Pursuant to Refinancing Agreement, we are required to use a designated loan processor to validate customer purchases for funding our New Revolving Facility and, thus, in the operation of our platform. The performance and accuracy of said loan processor is essential to our operations and is critical to ensuring that loans are appropriately and timely funded. We rely on the designated loan processor to ensure their systems, internal procedures, verification processes and facilities are protected against service interruptions, power or telecommunications failures, criminal acts, and similar events. We may be harmed if there is a delay, disruption, or error in loan validation. Further, if our arrangements with the designated loan processor is terminated, or if there is a lapse in service due to errors, we could experience interruptions in the provision of our leases. We may also experience increased costs and difficulties in funding leases or finding replacement loan providers or processors on commercially reasonable terms, on a timely basis, or at all.

In addition, in the event of error or interruption, we may be required to use cash to cover for any losses or uncovered leases that might occur, albeit temporarily. This could reduce our available cash or cause reputational harm, any of which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

In December 2023, the processor for our loan provider experienced a timing error in their validation processes. We alerted them to the error, temporarily covering the approved leases with our cash and the issue was resolved in January 2024. Both our loan provider and processor have since instituted changes to correct against similar interruptions in service, but there can be no assurance that a similar error will not occur in the future.

We rely on card issuers and payment processors. If we fail to comply with the applicable requirements of Visa, Mastercard or other payment processors, those payment processors could seek to fine us, suspend us or terminate our registrations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

We rely on card issuers and payment processors, and must pay a fee for this service. From time to time, payment processors such as Visa or Mastercard may increase the interchange fees that they charge for each transaction using one of their cards. The payment processors routinely update and modify their requirements. Changes in the requirements, including changes to risk management and collateral requirements, may impact our ongoing cost of doing business and we may not, in every circumstance, be able to pass through such costs to our merchants or associated participants. Furthermore, if we do not comply with the payment processors’ requirements (e.g., their rules, bylaws, and charter documentation), the payment processors could seek to fine us, suspend us or terminate our registrations that allow us to process transactions on their networks. The termination of our registration due to failure to comply with the applicable requirements of our payment processors, or any changes in the payment processors’ rules that would impair our registration, could require us to stop utilizing payment services from our payment processors, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

Our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.

Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change", generally defined as a greater than 50.0% change (by value) in its equity ownership over a three-year period, the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards and other pre-change tax attributes, such as research tax credits, to offset its post-change income may be limited or potentially significantly deferred compared to such ability in the absence of an “ownership change”. The completion of the merger of FinServ and Legacy Katapult and related transactions may have triggered an “ownership change” limitation. We have not completed a formal study to determine if any “ownership changes” within the meaning of IRC Section 382 have occurred. If “ownership changes” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code have occurred, and if we earn net taxable income, our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and other tax credits generated since inception to offset U.S. federal taxable income may be subject to limitations, which could potentially result in increased future tax liability to us and could require us to pay U.S. federal income taxes earlier than would be required if such limitations were not in effect. Similar rules and limitations may apply for state income tax purposes.

Risks Related to Our Technology and Our Platform

We utilize AI/ML, which could expose us to liability or adversely affect our business.

We use AI/ML in many aspects of our business. In particular, we use AI/ML to create models which provide data to assist in key aspects of our business, including fraud analysis, credit risk analysis, and product personalization. There are significant risks involved in utilizing AI/ML and no assurance can be provided that our use of such AI/ML will enhance our products or services or produce the intended results. The AI/ML models that we use are trained using various data sets. If the AI/ML models are incorrectly designed, the data we use to train them is incomplete, inadequate, or biased in some way, or we do not have sufficient rights to use the data on which our AI/ML models rely, the performance of our products, services, and business, as well as our reputation, could suffer or we could incur liability through the violation of laws and regulations, third-party intellectual property, privacy, or other rights, or contracts to which we are a party. AI/ML can present ethical issues and may subject us to new or heightened legal, regulatory, ethical, or other challenges; and inappropriate or controversial data practices by developers and end-users, or other factors adversely affecting public opinion of AI/ML, could impair the acceptance of AI/ML solutions, including those incorporated in our products and services. If the AI/ML tools that we use are deficient, inaccurate or controversial, we could incur operational inefficiencies, competitive harm, legal liability, brand or reputational harm, or other adverse impacts on our business and financial results.

In addition, regulation of AI/ML is rapidly evolving worldwide as legislators and regulators are increasingly focused on these powerful emerging technologies. The technologies underlying AI/ML and its uses are subject to a variety of laws and regulations, including intellectual property, data privacy and security, consumer protection, competition, and equal opportunity laws, and are expected to be subject to increased regulation and new laws or new applications of existing laws and regulations. AI/ML is the subject of ongoing review by various U.S. governmental and regulatory agencies, and various U.S. states and other foreign jurisdictions are applying, or are considering applying, their platform moderation, cybersecurity, and data protection laws and regulations to AI/ML or are considering general legal frameworks for AI/ML. We may not be able to anticipate how to respond to these rapidly evolving frameworks, and we may need to expend resources to adjust our operations or offerings in certain jurisdictions if the legal frameworks are inconsistent across jurisdictions. Furthermore, because AI/ML technology itself is highly complex and rapidly developing, it is not possible to predict all of the legal, operational or technological risks that may arise relating to the use of AI/ML.

Real or perceived software errors, failures, bugs, defects, or outages could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

Our platform and our internal systems rely on software that is highly technical and complex. In addition, our platform and our internal systems depend on the ability of such software to store, retrieve, manage and otherwise process immense amounts of data, including personal data. As a result, undetected errors, failures, bugs, or defects may be present in such software or occur in the future in such software, including open source software and other software we license in from third parties, especially when updates or new products or services are released.

Any real or perceived errors, failures, bugs, defects, or outages in such software could result in outages or degraded quality of service on our platform or errors in our financial reporting or charges to our customers that could adversely impact our business (including through causing us not to meet contractually required service levels), as well as negative publicity, loss of or delay in market acceptance of our products and services, and harm to our brand or weakening of our competitive position. In such an event, we may be required, or may choose, to expend significant additional resources in order to correct the error, failure, bug or defect. Any real or perceived errors, failures, bugs, defects, or outages in the software we rely on could also subject us to liability claims, result in data security breaches or other security incidents, impair our ability to attract new customers, retain existing customers, or expand their use of our products and services, which would adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

Our results depend on continued integration and support of our platforms, including our integration with direct merchants.

We depend on our merchant partners, which generally accept most major credit cards and other forms of payment, to present our platform as a payment option and to integrate our platform into their website or in their store, such as by featuring our platform on their websites or in their stores and at checkout. The failure by our merchants to effectively present, integrate, and support our platform, or to effectively explain lease-to-own transactions to potential customers, would have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

In addition, as a result of user interface or design choices, a direct merchant could modify how our platform is presented as a payment option, including adjustment of the priority of positioning. The presentation and positioning of our platform by a direct merchant is up to the discretion of the merchant. A direct/waterfall may choose to position a competitor ahead of us, reduce the prominence or positioning of our platform, or remove our platform as a payment option. We may not have visibility that a change has been made until after the fact. Any change in our presentation or positioning with a direct merchant could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

We rely on KPay enabled merchants to allow access to their stores through our mobile app and our desktop and mobile websites.

We depend on KPay enabled merchants to continue to allow our customers to utilize our platform, including our websites and mobile app, to access and buy goods at their stores. As a result, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to offer our customers access to any particular KPay enabled merchant. The loss of our ability to offer our customers access to KPay enabled merchants would have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

We are subject to stringent and changing laws, regulations, rules, standards and contractual obligations related to data privacy and security, which could increase the cost of doing business, compliance risks and potential liability and otherwise negatively affect our operating results and business regulations.

In the ordinary course of business, we collect, receive, store, generate, use, transfer, disclose, make accessible, protect, secure, dispose of, transmit, share and otherwise process a wide variety of data and information, including personal data and sensitive personal data, proprietary and confidential business data, trade secrets, and intellectual property. For example, we process the personal data, including sensitive personal data, of customers, including Social Security numbers. We are subject to numerous data privacy and security obligations, such as various laws, regulations, rules, standards and contractual obligations that govern the processing of personal data by us or by third parties on our behalf.

In the United States, federal, state, and local governments have enacted numerous data privacy and security laws, regulations and rules including data breach notification laws, personal data privacy laws, and consumer protection laws. For example, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”) imposes specific requirements relating to marketing to individuals using technology such as telephones, mobile devices, and text messages. TCPA violations can result in significant financial penalties,

including penalties or criminal fines imposed by the Federal Communications Commission or fines of up to $1,500 per violation imposed through private litigation or by state authorities. Class action suits are the most common method for private enforcement. We are also subject to the rules and regulations promulgated under the authority of the FTC, which regulates unfair or deceptive acts or practices, including with respect to data privacy and security. Moreover, the United States Congress has recently considered, and is currently considering, various proposals for more comprehensive data privacy and security legislation, to which we may be subject if passed.

Data privacy and security are also areas of increasing state legislative focus and we are, or may in the future become, subject to various state laws and regulations regarding data privacy and security. For example, the CCPA broadly defines personal information, gives California residents expanded privacy rights and protections, and provides for civil penalties for violations and a private right of action for certain data breaches. The CCPA is indicative of a trend towards greater state-level regulation of data privacy and security in the U.S. A number of other states have enacted, or are considering enacting, comprehensive data privacy laws that share similarities with the CCPA. In addition, laws in all 50 U.S. states generally require businesses to provide notice under certain circumstances to customers whose personal data has been disclosed as a result of a data breach. For additional information on data privacy and security laws, regulations and rules we are, or may in the future become, subject to, see the section titled “Business—Government Regulation.”

In addition, privacy advocates and industry groups have proposed, and may propose, data privacy and security standards with which we are legally or contractually bound to comply. For example, we may also be subject to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (“PCI DSS”), which requires companies that process payment card data to adopt certain measures to ensure the security of cardholder information, including using and maintaining firewalls, adopting proper password protections for certain devices and software, and restricting data access. Noncompliance with PCI-DSS can result in significant penalties or liability, litigation, loss of access to major payment card systems, damage to our reputation, and revenue losses. We may also rely on vendors to process payment card data, and those vendors may be subject to PCI DSS, and our business may be negatively affected if our vendors are fined or suffer other consequences as a result of PCI DSS noncompliance.

We also make public statements about our use and disclosure of personal data through our privacy policies, information on our website and press statements. Although we endeavor to comply with our public statements and documentation, we may at times fail to do so or be alleged to have failed to do so. The publication of our privacy policies and other statements that provide promises and assurances about data privacy and security can subject us to potential government or legal action if they are found to be deceptive, unfair or misrepresentative of our actual practices. Any concerns about our data privacy and security practices, even if unfounded, could damage our reputation and adversely affect our business.

Increasingly, some aspects of our business may be reliant on our ability to have our products and services be accepted by or compatible with a third-party platform, and any inability to do so could negatively impact our business. As a result, we may be required to change the way we market our products. Any of these developments could impair our ability to reach new or existing customers or otherwise negatively affect our operations. In addition, the CCPA grants California residents the right to opt-out of a business's sharing of their personal information for targeted advertising purposes.

Our obligations related to data privacy and security are quickly changing in an increasingly stringent fashion, creating some uncertainty as to the effective future legal framework. Additionally, these obligations may be subject to differing applications and interpretations, which may be inconsistent or conflict among jurisdictions. Preparing for and complying with these obligations requires significant resources and may necessitate changes to our information technologies, systems, and practices and to those of any third parties that process personal data on our behalf. In addition, these obligations may require us to change our business model. Our business model materially depends on our ability to process personal data, so we are particularly exposed to the risks associated with the rapidly changing legal landscape. For example, we may be at heightened risk of regulatory scrutiny, and any changes in the regulatory framework could require us to fundamentally change our business model.

Although we endeavor to comply with all applicable data privacy and security laws, regulations, rules, standards, and contractual obligations, we may at times fail (or be perceived to have failed) to do so. Moreover, despite our efforts, our personnel or third parties upon whom we rely may fail to comply with such obligations, which could negatively impact our business operations and compliance posture. For example, any failure by a third-party service provider to comply with applicable laws, regulations, rules, standards and contractual obligations could result in adverse effects, including inability to or interruption in our ability to operate our business and proceedings against us by governmental entities or others. If we fail, or are perceived to have failed, to address or comply with data privacy and security obligations, we could face significant consequences. These consequences may include, but are not limited to, government enforcement actions (e.g., investigations,

fines, penalties, audits, inspections, and similar); litigation (including class claims; damages); additional reporting requirements and/or oversight; bans on processing personal data; and orders to destroy or not use personal data.

Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, or financial condition, including but not limited to: loss of customers; interruptions or stoppages in our business operations; interruptions or stoppages of data collection needed to train our algorithms; inability to process personal data or to operate in certain jurisdictions; limited ability to develop or commercialize our products; expenditure of time and resources to defend any claim or inquiry; adverse publicity; or revision or restructuring of our operations.

Any significant disruption in, or errors in, service on our platform or relating to vendors, including events beyond our control, could prevent us from processing transactions on our platform or posting payments and have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

We use vendors, such as our cloud computing web services provider, virtual card processing companies, and third-party software providers, in the operation of our platform. The satisfactory performance, reliability, and availability of our technology and our underlying network and infrastructure are critical to our operations and reputation and the ability of our platform to attract new and retain existing merchants and customers. For example, Katapult Pay utilizes a third-party payment processor, the interruption of which could cause a decrease in the performance, reliability and availability of Katapult Pay.

In addition, via Katapult Pay, certain leases are originated by our issuing bank partner and then disbursed to merchants via single-use virtual cards facilitated through our partnership with an issuer processor. This issuer processor issues single-use virtual cards through Sutton Bank, its issuing bank partner, which allow leases facilitated through our platform to be processed over the card network. Such leases facilitated through our platform can be used at merchants where we are not integrated at checkout, allowing consumers to complete purchases with virtual cards just as they would with a standard credit or debit card. In the event that our issuer processor or the issuing bank partner become unable or unwilling to facilitate the disbursements to merchants and we are unable to reach an agreement with another third-party partner, such loans would no longer be able to be facilitated through our Katapult Pay platform.

We also rely on these vendors to protect their systems, networks and facilities against damage or service interruptions from natural disasters, power or telecommunications failures, air quality issues, environmental conditions, computer viruses, cyber-attacks or other attempts to harm these systems, data security breaches or other security incidents, criminal acts, and similar events. If our arrangement with a vendor is terminated or if there is a lapse of service or damage to its systems, networks or facilities, we could experience interruptions in our ability to operate our platform. We also may experience increased costs and difficulties in replacing that vendor and replacement services may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, on a timely basis, or at all. Any interruptions or delays in our platform availability, whether as a result of a failure to perform on the part of a vendor, any damage to one of our vendor’s systems, networks or facilities, the termination of any of our third-party vendor agreements, software bugs or failures, our or our vendor’s error, natural disasters, terrorism, other man-made problems, or data security breaches or other security incidents, whether accidental or willful, or other factors, could harm our relationships with our merchants and customers and also harm our reputation.

In addition, we source certain information from third parties. For example, our risk scoring model is based on algorithms that evaluate a number of factors and currently depend on sourcing certain information from third parties. In the event that any third-party from which we source information experiences a service disruption, whether as a result of maintenance, software bugs or failures, natural disasters, terrorism, other man-made problems, or data security breaches or other security incidents whether accidental or willful, or other factors, the ability to score and decision lease-to-own applications through our platform may be adversely impacted. Additionally, there may be errors contained in the information provided by third parties. This may result in the inability to approve otherwise qualified applicants through our platform, which may adversely impact our business by negatively impacting our reputation and reducing our transaction volume.

To the extent we use or are dependent on any particular third-party data, technology, or software, we may also be harmed if such data, technology, or software becomes non-compliant with existing laws, regulations, rules or standards, becomes subject to third-party claims of intellectual property infringement, misappropriation, or other violation, or malfunctions or functions in a way we did not anticipate. Any loss of the right to use any of this data, technology, or software could result in delays in the provisioning of our products and services until equivalent or replacement data, technology, or software is either developed by us, or, if available, is identified, obtained, and integrated, and there is no guarantee that we would be successful in developing, identifying, obtaining, or integrating equivalent or similar data, technology, or software, which could result in the loss or limiting of our products, services, or features available in our products or services.

In addition, in the event of damage or interruption, our insurance policies may not adequately compensate us for any losses that we may incur. Our disaster recovery plan has not been tested under actual disaster conditions, and we may not have sufficient capacity to recover all data and services in the event of an outage. These factors could prevent us from processing transactions or posting payments on our platform, damage our brand and reputation, divert the attention of our employees, reduce our revenue, subject us to liability, and cause customers or merchants to abandon our platform, any of which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

If major mobile application distribution channels change their standard terms and conditions in a manner that is detrimental to us, or suspend or terminate their existing relationship with us, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

We currently cooperate with Apple’s app store and major PRC-based Android app store to distribute the Katapult app to users. As such, the promotion, distribution and operation of our application are subject to such distribution platforms’ standard terms and policies for application developers, which are subject to the interpretation of, and frequent changes by, these distribution channels. If these third-party distribution platforms change their terms and conditions in a manner that is detrimental to us, or refuse to distribute our application, or if any other major distribution channel with which we would like to seek collaboration refuses to collaborate with us in the future on commercially favorable terms, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Data security breaches or other security incidents with respect to our information technology systems, networks or data, or those of third parties upon which we rely, could result in adverse consequences, including but not limited to regulatory investigations or actions, litigation, fines and penalties, disruptions of our business operations, reputational harm, loss of revenue or profits, and loss of customers.

Cyber-attacks, malicious internet-based activity, and online and offline fraud are prevalent and continue to increase. These threats are becoming increasingly difficult to detect. These threats come from a variety of sources, including traditional computer “hackers,” threat actors, personnel (such as through theft or misuse), sophisticated nation states, and nation-state-supported actors. Some actors now engage and are expected to continue to engage in cyber-attacks, including without limitation nation-state actors for geopolitical reasons and in conjunction with military conflicts and defense activities. During times of war and other major conflicts, we and the third parties upon which we rely may be vulnerable to a heightened risk of these attacks, including cyber-attacks, that could materially disrupt our systems, networks and operations, supply chain, and ability to produce, sell and distribute our goods and services. The automated nature of our business and our reliance on digital technologies may make us an attractive target for, and potentially vulnerable to cyber-attacks. We and the third parties upon which we rely may be subject to a variety of evolving threats, including but not limited to: computer malware (including as a result of advanced persistent threat intrusions), malicious code (such as viruses and worms), social engineering (including phishing attacks), ransomware attacks, denial-of-service attacks (such as credential stuffing), personnel misconduct or error, supply-chain attacks, software bugs, server malfunctions, software or hardware failures, loss of data or other information technology assets, adware, telecommunication failures, earthquakes, fires, floods, and other similar threats.

Ransomware attacks, including by organized criminal threat actors, nation-states, and nation-state-supported actors, are becoming increasingly prevalent and severe and can lead to significant interruptions in our operations, loss of data and income, reputational harm, and diversion of funds. Extortion payments may alleviate the negative impact of a ransomware attack, but we may be unwilling or unable to make such payments due to, for example, applicable laws or regulations prohibiting such payments. Similarly, supply-chain attacks have increased in frequency and severity, and we cannot guarantee that third parties and infrastructure in our supply chain or our third-party partners’ supply chains have not been compromised or that they do not contain exploitable defects or bugs that could result in a breach of or disruption to our information technology systems and networks (including our products or services) or the third-party information technology systems and networks that support us and our services. We are incorporated into the supply chain of a large number of companies worldwide and, as a result, if our products are compromised, a significant number of companies could be simultaneously affected. The potential liability and associated consequences we could suffer as a result of such a large-scale event could be catastrophic and result in irreparable harm.

Cybersecurity risks may be heightened as a result of ongoing military conflicts such as military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the related sanctions imposed by the United States and other countries or the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. Furthermore, future or past business transactions (such as acquisitions or integrations) could expose us to additional cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities, as our systems and networks could be negatively affected by vulnerabilities present in acquired or integrated entities’ systems, networks and technologies.

Any of the above identified or similar threats could cause a data security breach or other security incident. A data security breach or other security incident could result in unauthorized, unlawful, or accidental acquisition, modification, destruction, loss, alteration, encryption, disclosure, transfer, use or other processing of, or access to our, our customers’, our vendors’ or our merchants’ confidential, proprietary, personal or other information. A data security breach or other security incident could disrupt our ability (and that of third parties upon whom we rely) to provide our platform, products, or services. We may expend significant resources in connection with investigating, mitigating or remediating, or modifying our business activities to protect against, actual or perceived data security breaches or other security incidents. Certain data privacy and security obligations may require us to implement and maintain specific security measures, as well as maintain industry-standard or reasonable security measures to protect our information technology systems and networks which contain confidential, proprietary, personal and other information.

While we have implemented security measures designed to protect against data security breaches and other security incidents, there can be no assurance that these measures will be effective. We may be unable in the future to detect vulnerabilities in our information technology systems and networks (including our products or services) because such threats and techniques change frequently, are often sophisticated in nature, may not be detected until after a security incident has occurred, and may see their frequency increased and effectiveness enhanced, by the use of AI/ML. Despite our efforts to identify and remediate vulnerabilities, if any, in our information technology systems and networks (including our products or services), our efforts may not be successful. Further, we may experience delays in developing and deploying remedial measures designed to address any such identified vulnerabilities.

We rely upon third-party service providers and technologies to operate critical business systems to process confidential, proprietary, personal and other information in a variety of contexts, including, without limitation, third-party providers of cloud-based infrastructure, virtual card processing, encryption and authentication technology, employee email, and other functions. We may share or receive confidential, proprietary, personal or other information with or from third parties. Our ability to monitor these third parties’ information security practices is limited, and these third parties may not have adequate information security measures in place. Due to applicable laws, regulations, rules, standards and contractual obligations, we may be held responsible for data security breaches or other security incidents attributed to our third-party service providers as they relate to the information we share with them.

Any actual or perceived failure to comply with legal and regulatory requirements applicable to us, including those relating to data privacy and security, or any failure to protect the information that we collect from our customers and merchants, including personal information, from cyber-attacks, data security breaches or other security incidents, or any such actual or perceived failure by our originating bank partners, may result in, among other things, revocation of required licenses or registrations, loss of approved status, private litigation, regulatory or governmental investigations, administrative enforcement actions, sanctions, civil and criminal liability, and constraints on our ability to continue to operate.

Applicable data privacy and security laws, regulations, rules, standards and contractual obligations may require us to notify relevant stakeholders of data security breaches and other security incidents. Such disclosures are costly, and the disclosure or the failure to comply with such requirements could lead to adverse consequences. If we (or a third party upon whom we rely) experience, or are perceived to have experienced, a data security breach or other security incident, or fail to make adequate or timely disclosures to the public, regulators or law enforcement agencies following any such event, we may experience adverse consequences. These consequences may include: interruptions to our operations (including availability of data), violation of applicable data privacy and security laws, regulations, rules, standards and contractual obligations; litigation (including class claims), damages, an obligation to notify regulators and affected individuals, the triggering of indemnification and other contractual obligations, government enforcement actions (for example, investigations, fines, penalties, audits, and inspections); additional reporting requirements and/or oversight; restrictions on processing personal and other sensitive data; negative publicity; reputational damage; loss of customers and ecosystem partners; monetary fund diversions; financial loss; and other similar harms. Additionally, our originating bank partners also operate in a highly regulated environment, and many laws and regulations that apply directly to our originating bank partners are indirectly applicable to us through our arrangements with our originating bank partners. Our contracts may not contain limitations of liability, and even where they do, there can be no assurance that limitations of liability in our contracts are sufficient to protect us from liabilities, damages, or claims related to our data privacy and security obligations. We cannot be sure that our insurance coverage will be adequate or sufficient to protect us from or to mitigate liabilities arising out of our data privacy and security practices, that such coverage will continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all, or that such coverage will pay future claims.

While we take precautions to prevent customer identity fraud, it is possible that identity fraud may still occur or has occurred, which may adversely affect the performance of the lease-to-own transactions facilitated through our platform.

There is risk of fraudulent activity associated with our platform, customers, and third parties handling customer information. Our resources, technologies, and fraud prevention tools may be insufficient to accurately detect and prevent fraud. We bear the risk of loss for lease-to-own transactions facilitated through our platform. The level of fraud related charge-offs on the lease-to-own transactions facilitated through our platform could be adversely affected if fraudulent activity were to significantly increase.

We bear the risk of customer fraud in a transaction involving us, a customer, and a merchant, and we generally have no recourse to the merchant to collect the amount owed by the customer. Significant amounts of fraudulent cancellations or chargebacks and the potential cost of remediation could adversely affect our business or financial condition. High profile fraudulent activity or significant increases in fraudulent activity could also lead to regulatory intervention, negative publicity, and the erosion of trust from our customers and merchants, and could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, prospects, and cash flows.

Failure to adequately obtain, maintain, protect, defend and enforce our intellectual property and proprietary rights could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our business depends on intellectual property and proprietary technology and information, the protection of which is crucial to the success of our business. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws in the United States, as well as license agreements, confidentiality procedures, non-disclosure agreements, and other contractual protections, to establish and protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, including our proprietary technology, software, know-how, and brand.

Although we take steps to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will be sufficient or effective to prevent the unauthorized access, use, copying, reverse engineering, infringement, misappropriation or other violation of our intellectual property and proprietary technology and information, including by third parties who may use our intellectual property or proprietary technology or information to develop services that compete with ours. We may not be able to register or enforce all of our trademarks and any of our trademarks or other intellectual property rights may be challenged by others.

Further, we license certain technology, software, data and other intellectual property from third parties that are important to our business. Our business may suffer if any current or future licenses or other grants of rights to us terminate, if the licensors (or other applicable counterparties) fail to abide by the terms of the license or other applicable agreement, if the licensors fail to enforce the licensed intellectual property against infringing third parties or if the licensed intellectual property rights are found to be invalid or unenforceable.

We have in the past, and may in the future, be accused of infringing intellectual property rights of third parties which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Third parties may claim that the technology used in the operation of our business infringes upon their intellectual property rights. For example, on September 30, 2024, FlexShopper filed a complaint against us in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas Marshall Division. The complaint alleges infringement of certain patents referenced in the complaint, and seeks, among other relief, injunctive relief and monetary damages (including attorneys’ fees) and we cannot be certain of the ultimate outcome of these legal proceedings. If FlexShopper prevails in this ongoing litigation, we could be enjoined or be ordered to pay significant damages, either of which would have a material and adverse impact on our business. Even if we ultimately prevail in the FlexShopper litigation or other such litigation, this type of litigation is time-consuming and costly to defend, resulting in the diversion of significant operational resources and potential changes to our business model. Our involvement in intellectual property disputes and any failure to adequately protect our intellectual property rights may cause our business, operating results and financial condition to suffer. In addition, during the course of this kind of litigation, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments. If securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a substantial adverse effect on the price of our common stock.

The possibility of intellectual property claims against us increases as we continue to grow. Such claims, with or without merit, may result in our expenditure of significant financial and management resources, injunctions against us or payment of damages. We may need to obtain licenses from third parties who allege that we have infringed their rights, but such licenses may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. Even if a license is available, we could be required to pay significant royalties,

which would increase our operating expenses. As a result, we may be required to develop alternative non-infringing technology, which could require significant effort and expense. These risks have been amplified by the increase in third parties whose sole or primary business is to assert such claims.

The outcome of any claims, investigations and proceedings is inherently uncertain, and in any event, defending against these claims could be both costly and time-consuming and could significantly divert the efforts and resources of our management and other personnel. An adverse determination in any such litigation or proceedings could cause us to pay damages, as well as legal and other costs, limit our ability to conduct business or require us to change the manner in which we operate.

Legal and Compliance Risks

Our business is subject to the requirements of various federal, state and local laws and regulations, which can require significant compliance costs and expose us to government investigations, significant additional costs, fines or other monetary penalties or settlements, and compliance-related burdens.

Our business is subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations and an increased risk of regulatory actions as a result of the highly regulated nature of our industry and the focus of state and federal enforcement agencies on the lease-to-own industry in particular. Any adverse change in applicable laws or regulations, the passage of unfavorable new laws or regulations, or the manner in which any applicable laws and regulations are interpreted or enforced could dictate changes to our business practices that may be materially adverse to the Company. Further, our transactions are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations which may result in significant compliance costs as well as expose us to litigation. In particular, our rental-purchase transactions and the customer-facing operations related thereto, such as collections and marketing, are subject to various other federal, state and/or local consumer protection laws. These laws, as well as the rental-purchase statutes under which we operate, provide various remedies in connection with violations, including restitution and other monetary penalties and sanctions which in certain circumstances can be significant.

We cannot determine with any degree of certainty whether any new laws or regulations will be enacted, or whether government agencies will initiate new or different interpretations of existing laws. The impact of new laws and regulations, or modifications by regulators concerning the interpretation or enforcement of existing laws, on our business is not known; however, any such changes could materially and adversely impact our business.

The laws and regulations applicable to our operations are subject to agency, administrative and/or judicial interpretation. Some of these laws and regulations have been enacted only recently and/or may not yet have been interpreted or may be interpreted infrequently. As a result of non-existent or sparse interpretations, ambiguities in these laws and regulations may create uncertainty with respect to the requirements of any applicable laws and regulations. Any ambiguity under a law or regulation to which we are subject may lead to regulatory investigations, governmental enforcement actions and private causes of action, such as class action lawsuits, with respect to our compliance with such laws or regulations.

Federal and state agencies are focused on consumer financial products and services. State law enforcement agencies and regulators appear to have increased their scrutiny of entities operating within the personal property rental-purchase, or “lease-to-own”, industry. For example, the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (“DFPI”) has issued subpoenas and is conducting investigations into practices of entities operating within the personal property rental-purchase industry. Similarly, state attorneys general also appear to have increased their scrutiny of the industry. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not received investigatory demands from California DFPI or state attorneys general. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be included in future actions of the same or similar nature and, if it is, that it would not lead to an enforcement action, consent order, or substantial costs, including legal fees, fines, penalties, and remediation expenses.

For information on data privacy and security laws, regulations, rules, standards and contractual obligations we are, or may in the future become, subject to, and the associated risks to our business, see the section titled “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Technology and Our Platform—We are subject to stringent and changing laws, regulations, rules, standards and contractual obligations related to data privacy and security, which could increase the cost of doing business, compliance risks and potential liability and otherwise negatively affect our operating results and business.”

We are subject to sales, income and other taxes, which can be difficult and complex to calculate due to the nature of our businesses. A failure to correctly calculate and pay such taxes, or an unfavorable outcome on uncertain tax positions we may record from time to time, may result in substantial tax liabilities and a material adverse effect on several aspects of our performance.

The application of indirect taxes, such as sales tax, continues to be a complex and evolving issue, particularly with respect to the lease-to-own industry generally and our virtual lease-to-own business more specifically. Many of the fundamental statutes and regulations that impose these taxes were established before the growth of the lease-to-own industry and e-commerce and, therefore, in many cases it is not clear how existing statutes apply to our business. In addition, governments are increasingly looking for ways to increase revenues, which has resulted in discussions about tax reform and other legislative action to increase tax revenues, including through indirect taxes. This also may result in other adverse changes in or interpretations of existing sales, income and other tax regulations. Further, we may fail to allocate sales tax correctly which could result in over-reporting or under-reporting revenue and sales tax expense.

Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion, and we will not be able to achieve our objectives and will have to cease operations if we cannot repay our indebtedness when it come due, or adequately fund our operations.

As of December 31, 2024, we believed that we would not have sufficient cash available to pay off our existing indebtedness upon maturity. As a result, our auditors issued a going concern opinion in connection with the audit of our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which means that there was substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next 12 months. The inclusion of an explanatory paragraph in the audit opinion regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and our lack of cash resources may materially adversely affect our share price and our ability to raise new capital or to enter into critical contractual relationships with third parties.

While we recently entered into the Refinancing Agreement, which refinanced our Existing Credit Agreement, there are significant risks associated with the Refinancing Agreement, including the affirmative and negative covenants thereunder. In the case of an event of default in respect of which we are unable to negotiate with our Lenders for a waiver or dispensation or upon maturity, if we do not have sufficient liquid assets to repay amounts outstanding under the Refinancing Agreement, the Lenders have the right to foreclose their liens against all of our assets and take possession and sell any such assets to reduce any such obligations. In the case of an event of default, if we are unable to negotiate with our Lenders for a waiver or dispensation under the Refinancing Agreement, or if the Lenders otherwise foreclose on their liens, we might be unable to continue our operations, be unable to avoid filing for bankruptcy protection and/or have an involuntary bankruptcy case filed against us. These events would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position. See “—Risks related to the Refinancing Agreement and our Indebtedness”.While the Lenders have previously granted the Company waivers of certain events of default under the Existing Credit Agreement – for example, we previously failed to maintain the required Minimum Trailing Three-Month Net Originations which the Lenders have waived – there is no guarantee that they will be willing to do so in the future.

If we fail to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, our ability to accurately and timely report our financial results could be adversely affected.

We are required to comply with a variety of reporting, accounting and other rules and regulations. As a public reporting company subject to the rules and regulations established from time to time by the SEC and Nasdaq, we are required to, among other things, establish and periodically evaluate procedures with respect to our disclosure controls and procedures. In addition, as a public company, we are required to document and test our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 so that our management can certify, on an annual basis, that our internal control over financial reporting is effective. As such, we maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting, but there are limitations inherent in internal control systems. A control system can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be appropriate relative to their costs. Furthermore, compliance with existing requirements is expensive and we may need to implement additional finance and accounting and other systems, procedures and controls to satisfy our reporting requirements. We have in the past, and may in the future, identify deficiencies in our internal controls that, individually or in the aggregate, constitute material weaknesses. If we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm identify deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, we could fail to meet our reporting obligations or they could result in material misstatements of our financial statements, and we could also be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources. If our internal control over financial reporting is determined to be ineffective, such failure could cause

investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, negatively affect the market price of our common stock, subject us to regulatory investigations and penalties, and adversely impact our business and financial condition.

Changes to tax laws or exposure to additional tax liabilities may have a negative impact on our operating results.

Continued developments in U.S. tax reform and changes to tax laws and rates in other jurisdictions where we do business could adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows. It is also possible that provisions of U.S. tax reform could be subsequently amended in a way that is adverse to us.

In addition, we may undergo tax audits in various jurisdictions in which we operate. Although we believe that our income tax provisions and accruals are reasonable and in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that we prepare our tax filings in accordance with all applicable tax laws, the final determination with respect to any tax audits and any related litigation, could be materially different from our historical income tax provisions and accruals. The results of a tax audit or litigation could materially affect our operating results and cash flows in the periods for which that determination is made. In addition, future period net income may be adversely impacted by litigation costs, settlements, penalties and interest assessments.

We are subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time that may seek material damages or otherwise may have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time that may seek material damages or otherwise may have a material adverse effect on our business. See "Commitments and Contingencies” in Note 9 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information. The costs we incur in defending ourselves or associated with settling any of these proceedings, as well as a material final judgment or decree against us, could materially adversely affect our financial condition by requiring the payment of the settlement amount, a judgment or the posting of a bond and/or such matters could otherwise materially and adversely impact our business, including resulting in additional dilution if we are obligated to issue shares to settle all or a portion of such legal proceedings.

In addition, others in our industry have defended class action lawsuits alleging various regulatory violations and have paid material amounts to settle such claims. If we are named in any such class action lawsuits or other legal proceedings, significant settlement amounts or final judgments could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and capital resources.

To attempt to limit costly and lengthy customer, employee and other litigation, including class actions, we require our customers and employees to sign arbitration agreements, including class action waivers. In addition to opt-out provisions contained in such agreements, recent judicial and regulatory actions have attempted to restrict or eliminate the enforceability of such agreements and waivers. If we are not permitted to use arbitration agreements and/or class action waivers, or if the enforceability of such agreements and waivers is restricted or eliminated, we could incur increased costs to resolve legal actions brought by customers, employees and others, as we would be forced to participate in more expensive and lengthy dispute resolution processes.

Operational Risks Related to Our Business

Uncertain market and economic conditions have had, and may in the future have, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and share price.

The global economy, including credit and financial markets, has experienced extreme volatility and disruptions, including heightened geopolitical tensions, imposition tariffs, severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, increases in unemployment rates, increases in inflation rates, higher interest rates and uncertainty about economic stability. For example, the ongoing military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East, as well as the U.S. government’s introduction of trade policy actions that have increased import tariffs across a wide range of countries at various rates, with certain exemptions have had, and are expected to continue to have, global economic consequences. Any such volatility and disruptions may have a material adverse effect on us or the third parties on whom we rely. If the equity and credit markets deteriorate, including as a result of political unrest, trade disruptions, potential tariff and trade wars, or war, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult to obtain in a timely manner or on favorable terms, more costly or more dilutive. Increased inflation rates can adversely affect us by increasing our costs, including labor and employee benefit costs. In addition, higher inflation could also adversely affect discretionary spending for non-prime customers, which could reduce demand for our products and services. Any significant increases in inflation and related increase in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Failure to effectively manage our costs could have a material adverse effect on our profitability.

Certain elements of our cost structure are largely fixed in nature. Consumer spending remains uncertain, which makes it more challenging for us to maintain or increase our operating margins. The competitive environment in our industry and increasing price transparency means that the focus on achieving efficient operations is greater than ever. As a result, we must continuously focus on managing our cost structure. Failure to manage our overall cost of operations, labor and benefit rates, advertising and marketing expenses, operating leases, data costs, payment processing costs, cost of capital, or indirect spending could materially adversely affect our profitability.

Negative publicity about us or our industry could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

Negative publicity about us or our industry, including the transparency, fairness, user experience, quality, and reliability of our platform or lease-to-own platforms in general, effectiveness of our risk model, our ability to effectively manage and resolve complaints, our data privacy and security practices, litigation, regulatory activity, misconduct by our employees, funding sources, service providers, or others in our industry, the experience of customers and investors with our platform or services or lease-to-own platforms in general, even if inaccurate, could adversely affect our reputation and the confidence in, and the use of, our platform, which could harm our reputation and cause disruptions to our platform. For instance, in October 2020, a data breach broker purported to offer customer records from a number of companies, including us, for sale on a hacker forum. Although we determined with third party firms and our internal team that the compromised data did not include confidential proprietary or personal data, we cannot guarantee that this publicity or any similar publicity in the future will not have a negative effect on our business or reputation. Any such reputational harm could further affect the behavior of customers, including their willingness to utilize lease-to-own programs through our platform or to make payments on their leases. As a result, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects would be materially and adversely affected.

Misconduct and errors by our employees, vendors, and service providers could harm our business and reputation.

We are exposed to many types of operational risk, including the risk of misconduct and errors by our employees, vendors, and other service providers. Our business depends on our employees, vendors, and service providers to process a large number of increasingly complex transactions, including transactions that involve significant dollar amounts and lease-to-own transactions that involve the use and disclosure of personally identifiable information and business information. We could be adversely affected if transactions were redirected, misappropriated, or otherwise improperly executed, personal and business information was disclosed to unintended recipients, or an operational breakdown or failure in the processing of other transactions occurred, whether as a result of human error, a purposeful sabotage or a fraudulent manipulation of our operations or systems. In addition, the manner in which we store and use certain personal data and interact with customers and merchants through our platform is governed by various federal and state laws. If any of our employees, vendors, or service providers take, convert, or misuse funds, documents, or data, or fail to follow protocol when interacting with customers and merchants, we could be liable for damages and subject to regulatory actions and penalties. We could also be perceived to have facilitated or participated in the illegal misappropriation of funds, documents, or data, or the failure to follow protocol, and therefore be subject to civil or criminal liability. For example, our operations are subject to certain laws generally prohibiting companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions. Violations by our employees, contractors or agents of policies and procedures we have implemented to ensure compliance with these laws could subject us to civil or criminal investigations in the U.S. and in other jurisdictions, could lead to substantial civil and criminal, monetary and non-monetary penalties, and related shareholder lawsuits, could cause us to incur significant legal fees, and could damage our reputation. It is not always possible to identify and deter misconduct or errors by employees, vendors, or service providers, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses. Any of these occurrences could result in our diminished ability to operate our business, potential liability to customers and merchants, inability to attract future customers and merchants, reputational damage, regulatory intervention, and financial harm, which could negatively impact our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

The loss of the services of any of our leadership team could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

The experience of our leadership team are valuable assets to us. Our leadership team has significant experience in the financial technology industry and would be difficult to replace. Competition for senior executives in our industry is intense, and we may not be able to attract and retain qualified personnel to replace or succeed any of our leaders. Failure to retain or recruit

leadership team members could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

Our business depends on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled employees.

Our future success depends on our ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate, and retain highly qualified personnel for all areas of our organization, in particular, a highly experienced sales force, data scientists, and engineers. Competition for these types of highly skilled employees, is extremely intense. Trained and experienced personnel are in high demand and may be in short supply. Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced employees have greater resources than we do and may be able to offer more attractive terms of employment. Our recent refinancing of our Blue Owl debt has caused us to reduce expenses, in some cases, directly related to employees. In addition, we invest significant time and expense in training our employees, which increases their value to competitors that may seek to recruit them. We may not be able to attract, develop, and maintain the skilled workforce necessary to operate our business, and labor expenses may increase as a result of a shortage in the supply of qualified personnel. If we are unable to maintain and build our highly experienced sales force, or are unable to continue to attract experienced engineering and technology personnel, as well as other qualified employees, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

Additional Risks Relating to Ownership of Company Securities

The price of our securities may change significantly in the future and stockholders could lose all or part of their investment as a result.

The trading price of our common stock and public warrants is likely to be volatile and the trading price of our securities have experienced extreme volatility and a significant decline. The securities markets have experienced significant volatility as macroeconomic conditions, such as high inflation and the ongoing geopolitical conflicts including those between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East. Market volatility, as well as general economic, market, or political conditions, could reduce the market price of shares of our common stock regardless of our operating performance. Our operating results have been below and could continue to be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors due to a number of potential factors, including:

•results of operations that vary from the expectations of securities analysts and investors;

•results of operations that vary from those of our competitors;

•factors affecting consumer spending that are not under our control;

•changes in expectations as to our future financial performance, including financial estimates and investment recommendations by securities analysts and investors;

•declines in the market prices of stocks generally;

•strategic actions by us or our competitors;

•announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, joint ventures, other strategic relationships or capital commitments;

•any significant change in our management;

•changes in general economic or market conditions or trends in our industry or markets;

•changes in business or regulatory conditions, including new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business;

•future sales or issuances of our common stock (including upon the exercise of warrants, or upon conversion of our Preferred Stock) or other securities;

•investor perceptions or the investment opportunity associated with our common stock relative to other investment alternatives;

•the public’s response to press releases or other public announcements by us or third parties, including our filings with the SEC;

•litigation involving us, our industry, or both, or investigations by regulators into our operations or those of our competitors;

•guidance, if any, that we provide to the public, any changes in this guidance or our failure to meet this guidance;

•the development and sustainability of an active trading market for our stock;

•actions by institutional or activist stockholders;

•changes in accounting standards, policies, guidelines, interpretations or principles; and

•other events or factors, including those resulting from natural disasters, geopolitical conflict (including the conflict involving Russia and Ukraine and the conflicts in the Middle East), pandemics (including COVID-19), acts of terrorism or responses to these events.

These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. In addition, price volatility may be greater if the public float and trading volume of our common stock or public warrants is low.

We will continue to incur significant costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will continue to devote substantial time to managing new compliance initiatives.

As a public company, we will continue to incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company, and these expenses may increase now that we are no longer an emerging growth company, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the listing requirements of Nasdaq and other applicable securities rules and regulations impose various requirements on public companies. Our management and other personnel will need to continue to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. The increased costs will impact our financial position. These rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits, higher retention levels, or incur substantially higher costs to maintain the same or similar coverage. We cannot predict or estimate the amount or timing of additional costs we may incur to respond to these requirements.

Because there are no current plans to pay cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your common stock for a price greater than that which you paid for it.

We intend to retain future earnings, if any, for future operations, expansion and debt repayment and there are no current plans to pay any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. The declaration, amount and payment of any future dividends on shares of our common stock will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors. Our board of directors may take into account general and economic conditions, our financial condition and results of operations, our available cash and current and anticipated cash needs, capital requirements, contractual, legal, tax, and regulatory restrictions, implications on the payment of dividends by us to our stockholders or by its subsidiaries to it and such other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant. Holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to participate in and receive any dividends declared or paid on our common stock on an as converted basis, and no dividends may be paid to holders of our common stock unless full participating dividends are concurrently paid to holders of Preferred Stock, which may affect the amount and payment of any future dividends on shares of our common stock.In addition, our ability to pay dividends on our common stock is limited by covenants of our existing and outstanding indebtedness and may be limited by covenants of any future indebtedness that we incur. As a result, you may not receive any return on an investment in our common stock unless you sell our common stock for a price greater than that which you paid for it.

If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about our business or if they downgrade our stock or our sector, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common stock will rely in part on the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about us or our business. We will not control these analysts. In addition, some financial analysts may have limited expertise with our model and operations. Furthermore, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock or industry, or the stock of any of our competitors, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price of our stock could decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on it regularly, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause its stock price or trading volume to decline.

Future sales, or potential future sales, by us or our stockholders in the public market could cause the market price for our common stock to decline.

The sale of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of shares of our common stock. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that it deems appropriate.

Common stock reserved for future issuance under our equity incentive plans will become eligible for sale in the public market once those shares are issued, subject to provisions relating to various vesting agreements, lock-up agreements and, in some cases, limitations on volume and manner of sale applicable to affiliates under Rule 144, as applicable. As of September 30, 2025, there were 281,899 shares of common stock available for future issuance under our 2021 equity incentive plan.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreements, we have agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of any shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock.

In the future, we may also issue securities in connection with investments or acquisitions. The amount of shares of common stock issued in connection with an investment or acquisition could constitute a material portion of our then-outstanding shares of common stock. Any issuance of additional securities in connection with investments or acquisitions may result in additional dilution to our stockholders.

Outstanding warrants are exercisable for, shares of our common stock, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our existing stockholders.

On October 31, 2019, we entered into a warrant agreement, with FinServ Acquisition Corp., which entitles each warrant holder thereof to purchase 1/25th of a share of our common stock at a price of $287.50 per whole share, subject to adjustment. Warrants may be exercised only for a whole number of shares of common stock. In addition, on March 6, 2023, in connection with a prior amendment to the Existing Credit Agreement, the Company issued a warrant to purchase up to 80,000 shares of the Company common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, which vested on September 6, 2023 and on December 5, 2023, the Company issued a warrant to purchase an additional 80,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share which are vested. In addition, the Purchaser currently owns warrants to purchase up to 646,264 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share which are vested.

The issuances of our common stock upon the exercise of outstanding warrants will result in a significant increase in the number of shares of common stock outstanding, which means that our existing stockholders will own a smaller ownership interest in the Company, experience substantial dilution and have less ability to influence significant decisions requiring stockholder approval. If the holders of outstanding warrants exercise such warrants, our stockholders will experience substantial dilution and we may experience volatility in the price of our Common Stock. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

We will likely incur increased costs and devote additional management time to public company reporting and compliance obligations as a result of exiting “emerging growth company” status.

We no longer qualify as an emerging growth company under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (our eligibility to qualify as an emerging growth company ended on December 31, 2024). While we were an emerging growth company, we were able to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Now that we have exited emerging growth company status and we are no longer eligible to take advantage of the corresponding exemptions, we expect our management and other personnel to devote more time and the Company to incur additional costs to comply with the more stringent reporting requirements applicable to companies that are not emerging growth companies. We expect that compliance with these requirements will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time consuming and costly. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur as a result of our exit from emerging growth company status, or the timing of the incurrence of such costs. Further, in the event that in the future we were to no longer be eligible to qualify as a “smaller reporting company,” and/or if we become subject to the requirements applicable to accelerated filers or large accelerated filers, including complying with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our compliance burdens and expenses will further increase. In addition, and as a general matter, we expect the foregoing public company rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to ensure that we comply with all of these requirements and to keep pace with new regulations, otherwise we may fall out of compliance and risk becoming subject to litigation or being delisted, among other potential consequences.

Anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents could delay or prevent a change of control.

Certain provisions of our Amended and Restated Charter and Amended and Restated Bylaws have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a merger, acquisition, tender offer, takeover attempt or other change of control transaction that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by our stockholders.

These provisions provide for, among other things:

•the ability of our board of directors to issue one or more series of preferred stock;

•advance notice for nominations of directors by stockholders and for stockholders to include matters to be considered at our annual meetings;

•certain limitations on convening special stockholder meetings;

•limiting the ability of stockholders to act by written consent; and

•our board of directors have the express authority to make, alter or repeal our Amended and Restated Bylaws.

These anti-takeover provisions could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if the third party’s offer may be considered beneficial by many of our stockholders. As a result, our stockholders may be limited in their ability to obtain a premium for their shares. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to elect directors of your choosing and to cause us to take other corporate actions you desire.

Our Amended and Restated Charter designates the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or stockholders.

Our Amended and Restated Charter provides that, subject to limited exceptions, any (1) derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of us, (2) action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, stockholder or employee to us or our stockholders, (3) action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or our Amended and Restated Charter or our Amended and Restated Bylaws, or (4) action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be exclusively brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction thereof, another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of our Amended and Restated Charter described above. This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or its directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find these provisions of our Amended and Restated Charter inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
