What the filing says
AudioEye executed its fourth loan modification agreement with Western Alliance Bank on September 18, 2026, amending the March 31, 2025 Loan and Security Agreement. Key changes: (1) Adjusted EBITDA definition now caps litigation expenses at $5M trailing-twelve-month through Dec 31, 2026, then $3M through Dec 31, 2027, then $0 thereafter; (2) Permitted Stock Buyback Amount capped at $7M aggregate for fiscal years 2025–2027 and $2M annually from 2028 onward; (3) AudioEye paid a $5,000 amendment fee and agreed to cover Bank's legal expenses. The amendment also incorporates the merger of ADA Site Compliance, LLC and Criterion 508 Solutions, Inc. into AudioEye. AudioEye granted broad release of all claims against the Bank.
Why this rating
Litigation expense caps ($5M→$3M→$0) suggest material ongoing legal costs relative to ~$110.5M market cap, constraining covenant calculations. Buyback restrictions limit capital return flexibility. Fourth amendment in 18 months signals covenant stress; not yet going-concern but meaningful operational constraint.
