The terms: Drawn commitments carry interest at three-month Term SOFR, three-month EURIBOR, or daily SONIA — each with a 2.50% floor — plus 5.15% annually. The facility requires minimum 25% utilisation and charges a 0.5% annual fee on undrawn commitments. It expires on September 30, 2030, unless extended or terminated earlier.
What's the money for? Proceeds will "fund a portion of the purchase price of the A/R acquired from certain of the Company's subsidiaries and for general corporate purposes," the filing states.
What could go wrong? The agreement can terminate early if more than $35 million of Teads's senior secured notes due 2030 remain outstanding 90 days before maturity and liquidity is too thin to repay them. Chief executive David Kostman signed the filing on October 5, 2026.
