Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the exact terms of the "springing maturity" clause in the new $145 million note if Fubo incurs other unsecured debt maturing before 2031.
- Monitor the outcome of the 2026 Notes repurchase right deadline on January 13, 2026, to determine if the full $144.765 million principal will be repaid early or at maturity.
- Confirm the total outstanding debt load post-repayment of the 2026 Notes, which will consist of the new $145 million note and the $177.5 million 2029 Notes.
- Review the full text of the Promissory Note (Exhibit 4.1) for specific covenant restrictions not detailed in the summary.
