AudioEye amends Western Alliance loan terms on litigation add-backs and stock buybacks

Neutral Impact 2 of 5 financing Written later

AudioEye signed a Fourth Loan Modification Agreement with Western Alliance Bank on September 18, 2026, amending its existing loan agreement. The amendment lets the company add back certain litigation expenses when calculating adjusted EBITDA and EBIDA, and it restates the cap on permitted stock buybacks for fiscal 2025 through 2027 as a single aggregate limit.

Key points

  • Litigation expense add-back of up to $5.0 million on a trailing twelve-month basis through December 31, 2026, then up to $3.0 million for 2027
  • Permitted Stock Buyback Amount for fiscal 2025, 2026 and 2027 capped at $7.0 million in aggregate, with a $2.0 million annual limit from fiscal 2028 onward
  • The original Loan and Security Agreement is dated March 31, 2025, and has been amended three times before this amendment
