SANUWAVE waives credit covenant shortfall, tightens lending terms in amended agreement

Negative Impact 3 of 5 financing Written later

SANUWAVE Health amended its September 25, 2025 credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent. Lenders waived any default from the company's fixed charge coverage ratio for the twelve months ending September 30, 2026, which was below the level the agreement requires. The amendment also requires lender written consent for certain acquisitions and equity repurchases and lowers two basket limits, so shareholders face tighter restrictions on the company's financial flexibility.

Key points

  • Lenders waived any default or event of default tied to the fixed charge coverage ratio for the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2026, which was below the required level
  • Written lender consent is now required for Permitted Acquisitions or Restricted Payments used to repurchase outstanding equity, subject to exceptions in the amendment
  • Permitted other secured indebtedness and permitted subsidiary investments were each lowered from $500,000 to $250,000
  • The company agreed to pay a $5,000 amendment fee; the amendment is dated October 28, 2026 and filed as Exhibit 10.1
