Revolving Credit Facility

On October 16, 2023, the Company, as borrower, and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a revolving credit agreement with the lenders party thereto and Fifth Third Bank, as may be subsequently amended (the “revolving credit facility”). The revolving credit facility provides for revolving commitments in an aggregate amount of up to $75 million. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are secured by the Company’s assets, inclusive of the subsidiary companies, and are subject to a borrowing base calculation prepared monthly which includes a requirement to maintain certain reserves as specified in the revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility also contains various affirmative and restrictive covenants. Interest under the revolving credit facility equals the Tranche Rate (as defined in the revolving credit facility) plus (i) 1.75%, if the Average Excess Availability Percentage (as defined in the revolving credit facility) is greater than 66 2/3%, (ii) 2.00% if the Average Excess Availability Percentage is greater than 33 1/3% and less than or equal to 66 2/3%, and (iii) 2.25% if the Average Excess Availability Percentage is less than or equal to 33 1/3%.

At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the financial covenant under the revolving credit facility was the fixed coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 which applies only during the period from the date that excess availability under the revolving credit facility is less than the greater of (i) 10% of total availability under the revolving credit facility and (ii) $5 million
until the date in which the excess availability is equal to the greater of (i) 10% of excess availability and (ii) $5 million for 30 consecutive days (such period, a “Financial Covenant Period”). A Financial Covenant Period was not in effect as of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and the filing date of this Quarterly Report.

At March 31, 2025, the revolving credit facility was undrawn, the borrowing base was $30.2 million, and there was $22.7 million of borrowing capacity under the facility, after giving effect to $7.5 million of outstanding letters of credit. At December 31, 2024, the revolving credit facility was undrawn, the borrowing base was $25.2 million, and there was $17.7 million of borrowing capacity under the facility, after giving effect to $7.5 million of outstanding letters of credit.

On October 16, 2024, the Company entered into (i) an amendment to the revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) and (ii) the Reimbursement Agreement, each with Fifth Third Bank. The Credit Agreement Amendment, among other things, permits the transactions contemplated by the Reimbursement Agreement, including the issuance of one or more letters of credit to satisfy Cobra’s obligations under the Settlement Agreement relating to one or more indemnity letters of credit. The aggregate amount of all such letters of credit shall not exceed $18.4 million. Under the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement, the Company agreed to hold cash funds totaling at least 105% of the stated amount of all letters of credit in an account maintained by Fifth Third Bank and to which Fifth Third Bank has a first priority security interest.

On October 18, 2024, Cobra received a payment from PREPA totaling $18.4 million under the terms of the Settlement Agreement. In connection with the receipt of the $18.4 million from PREPA, Cobra instructed Fifth Third Bank to issue a letter of credit to PREPA under the Reimbursement Agreement in the amount of $18.4 million and transferred a total of $19.3 million to a restricted cash account maintained by Fifth Third Bank as collateral for the letter of credit.

On April 11, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to its revolving credit facility to, among other things, do the following:

i.receive consent from Fifth Third Bank to effectuate the sale of 5 Star Electric, LLC (“5 Star”), Higher Power Electrical, LLC (“Higher Power”) and Python Equipment LLC (“Python”) as discussed in Note 20;
ii.permit the Company to repurchase up to the lesser of $50 million or 10 million shares of its common stock on or before March 31, 2026, so long as the aggregate amount of the Company’s unrestricted cash is greater than $50 million after each such repurchase;
iii.expand the Company’s investment opportunities to include equity securities and private investments; and
iv.add certain investments and qualified cash to the borrowing base calculation.

If an event of default occurs under the revolving credit facility and remains uncured, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. The lenders, as applicable, (i) would not be required to lend any additional amounts to the Company, (ii) could elect to increase the interest rate by 200 basis points, (iii) could elect to declare all outstanding borrowings, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees, to be due and payable, (iv) may have the ability to require the Company to apply all of its available cash to repay outstanding borrowings, and (v) may foreclose on substantially all of the Company’s assets. The revolving credit facility is currently scheduled to mature on October 16, 2028.

Term Credit Facility

On October 16, 2023, the Company, as borrower, and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, as guarantors, also entered into a loan and security agreement with the lenders party thereto and Wexford Capital LP, an affiliate of the Company (“Wexford”), as administrative agent for the lenders (the “term credit facility”). The term credit facility was approved by the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors, consisting entirely of independent directors, as a transaction with a related party. The term credit facility provided for term commitments in an aggregate amount equal to $45 million. Borrowings under the term credit facility were secured by the Company’s assets, inclusive of the subsidiary companies. The term credit facility contained various affirmative and restrictive covenants. Interest under the term credit facility equaled the SOFR Interest Rate (as defined in the term credit facility) plus 7.50%; provided that the Company may elect to pay all or a portion of the accrued interest due with respect to any Interest Period (as defined in the term credit facility).

In connection with the receipt of the first installment amount under the Settlement Agreement on October 1, 2024, the Company paid, in full, all amounts owed under the term credit facility, including the accrued and unpaid interest, in the
aggregate amount of $50.9 million, and terminated the facility on October 2, 2024. In connection with the payoff of the term credit facility, Wexford waived the 1% early termination penalty.
