Synergy CHC Corp. Form 8-K Summary
Business Context and Reporting Period
This Current Report on Form 8-K was filed by Synergy CHC Corp. (SNYR) on March 24, 2026. The filing details the entry into a Second Amendment to the Company's Term Loan Credit Agreement with ACP Agency, LLC, and the issuance of an unregistered common stock purchase warrant to a lender.
Key Financial Metrics and Obligations
The filing does not provide current revenue, profit, cash flow, or margin figures. However, it establishes specific financial covenants and debt obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement:
- Debt Repayment Schedule: Principal payments of $175,000 due July 1, 2026, and October 1, 2026; $525,000 due January 1, 2027; and $350,000 quarterly beginning April 1, 2027.
- Interest Mechanics: Interest due March 2, 2026, is paid in kind (capitalized). Interest due April 1, 2026, may be paid in kind at the Company's election.
- Financial Covenants:
- Minimum Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA: $500,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026; $1,000,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.
- Consolidated Senior Net Leverage Ratio: Maximum of 20.00:1.00 for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, with a step-down schedule thereafter.
- Equity Raise Condition: The Company must raise at least $10,000,000 in Net Cash Proceeds from Equity Issuances by September 30, 2026, to avoid a 2.00% per annum step-up in the Applicable Margin.
Material Changes and Agreements
The Second Amendment introduces significant changes to the Company's capital structure and debt terms:
- Prepayment Requirements: The first $6,000,000 of equity proceeds may be retained for general corporate purposes. The next $4,000,000 must prepay the Term Loan. Excess proceeds over $10,000,000 are subject to mandatory prepayment (50% if leverage is ≥2.50:1.00; 0% if leverage is <2.50:1.00).
- Interest Rate Restrictions: Term SOFR-based interest is suspended until the Company makes aggregate principal reduction payments of at least $4,000,000 post-amendment.
- Change of Control: The threshold for a Change of Control was increased from 30% to 40% beneficial ownership (excluding Jack Ross).
- Warrant Issuance: A warrant was issued to Acme Credit Partners Fund I, LP for 3,000,000 shares at $0.00001 per share. It is exercisable only upon a "Qualified Event of Default" and has a 10-year term.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Management's ability to maintain liquidity and avoid default is contingent on meeting the $10,000,000 equity raise target by September 30, 2026. Failure to meet this target will result in increased borrowing costs. Additionally, the Company faces strict EBITDA and leverage ratio testing periods. The issuance of the Lender Warrant is contingent on a default event, representing a potential dilution risk if the Company fails to meet its debt obligations. Stockholder approval is required for the warrant holder to exercise shares beyond a 19.9% beneficial ownership limit, with a vote scheduled no later than June 30, 2026.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
