Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 5, 2025, Evolus, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amended and restated loan agreement (the “A&R Loan Agreement”), with BPCR Limited Partnership, as a lender (“BCPR”), BioPharma Credit Investments V (Master) LP, as a lender (together with BCPR, the “Lenders”), and BioPharma Credit PLC, as collateral agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent” and, collectively with the Company and the Lenders, the “Parties”), amending and restating in its entirety the Loan Agreement, dated as of December 14, 2021, by and among the Parties, as amended. Pursuant to the A&R Loan Agreement, the Lenders agreed to make term loans to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of up to $250,000,000, subject to funding in three tranches (collectively, the “Term Loans”). The proceeds of the Term Loans will be used to refinance the existing loan facility and fund the Company’s general corporate and working capital requirements.
Pursuant to the terms of the A&R Loan Agreement, the Term Loans will be advanced in three tranches. The first tranche (the “Tranche A Loan”) shall be advanced in the principal amount of $150,000,000 on the effective date of the A&R Loan Agreement (the “Tranche A Closing Date”), subject to entering into an amended and restated guaranty and security agreement (the “A&R Guaranty and Security Agreement”) and delivery of other customary deliverables. The second and third tranches (the “Tranche B Loan” and “Tranche C Loan,” respectively), each in the principal amount of up to $50,000,000 but no less than $25,000,000, will be advanced at the Company’s election, subject to the terms and conditions of the A&R Loan Agreement. The Term Loans will mature on the 5th year anniversary of the Tranche A Closing Date (the “Maturity Date”).
The Term Loans accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to the 3-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 5.0% per annum (subject to a SOFR floor of 3.50%), determined as of the first day of each quarter. Accrued interest is due and payable on the last day of each quarter, with payment beginning in the calendar quarter immediately following the Tranche A Closing Date.
The Company may elect to prepay the Term Loans prior to the Maturity Date in whole or in part, provided that the Company provides notice to the Collateral Agent, the amount is not less than $20,000,000, and the amount is accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of prepayment. Prepayments of the Term Loans will be accompanied by an exit consideration payment of an amount equal to the product of the amount of any principal so prepaid multiplied by 2%. Prepayments of the Term Loans will also be accompanied by a prepayment premium equal to: (1) the principal amount so prepaid multiplied by 3% if made prior to the 1st anniversary of the applicable tranche closing date; (2) 2% if made on or after the 1st anniversary of the applicable tranche closing date but prior to the 2nd anniversary of such tranche closing date; (3) 1% if made on or after the 2nd anniversary of the applicable tranche closing date but prior to the 3rd anniversary of such tranche closing date; and (4) 0.5% if made on or after the 3rd anniversary of the applicable tranche closing date but prior to the 4th anniversary of such tranche closing date. If the Term Loans are accelerated following the occurrence of an event of default, the Company shall immediately pay to Lenders the sum of all obligations for principal, interest, and the applicable exit consideration and prepayment premium.
Pursuant to the Guaranty and Security Agreement, the Company will grant the Collateral Agent a security interest in substantially all of its personal property, rights and assets to secure the payment of all amounts owed to Lenders under the A&R Loan Agreement.
The A&R Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative and restrictive covenants and representations and warranties. The Company is bound by certain affirmative covenants setting forth actions that are required during the term of the A&R Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, certain information delivery requirements, obligations to maintain certain insurance, and certain notice requirements. Additionally, the Company is bound by certain restrictive covenants setting forth actions that are not permitted to be taken during the term of the A&R Loan Agreement without the required lenders' prior written consent, including, without limitation, incurring certain additional indebtedness, consummating certain change in control transactions, or incurring any non-permitted lien or other encumbrance on the Company’s assets. The A&R Loan Agreement also contains other customary provisions, such as confidentiality obligations and indemnification rights for the benefit of the Lenders. The A&R Loan Agreement does not contain covenants requiring the Company to maintain a minimum cash threshold or minimum revenues or earnings.
The foregoing description of the A&R Loan Agreement and the Guaranty and Security Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the A&R Loan Agreement and the Guaranty and Security Agreement. The Company intends to file the A&R Loan Agreement as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2025.

Evolus Strengthens Balance Sheet with Refinancing; Reducing Cost of Capital and Expanding Financial Flexibility
Refinanced Existing Credit Facility Drawing $150 Million at Close with $100 Million of Strategic Incremental Capacity
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., May 5, 2025 – Evolus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EOLS), a performance beauty company with a focus on building an aesthetic portfolio of consumer brands, today announced it has entered into an amended and restated credit facility, replacing its existing $125 million credit agreement with a new $250 million credit facility with funds managed by Pharmakon Advisors, LP.
Highlights of the new facility include:
•Lowered Interest Rate: Reduced borrowing cost by 350 basis points (bps) based on current interest rates. The facility will mature five years from the funding date. Interest will be paid quarterly using the 3-month SOFR plus 5.00% per annum.
•Improved Structure & Financial Flexibility: Converted from an amortizing structure to a bullet maturity payment, with significantly reduced pre-payment fees, avoided any pre-payment fees from the existing facility, and additional consideration of 1% of the drawn value for the new facility, making it a cost-effective agreement.
•Increased Capital Availability: Added $100 Million of discretionary incremental capacity with a senior secured term loan of up to $250 million in three tranches, with $150 million being drawn upon the execution of the agreement. At its discretion, Evolus may draw up to two additional tranches of $50 million each through December 31, 2026. These second and third tranches are available with no additional performance conditions or financial covenants.
“As a multi-product performance beauty company, Evolus continues to outperform the market and we remain focused on delivering exceptional results while creating long-term value for our shareholders,” said David Moatazedi, President and Chief Executive Officer of Evolus. “Although already fully funded to sustained profitability and cash generation, this refinancing improves current cash generation and gives access to additional capacity with minimal fees.”
As a result of entering into this refinancing, which matures five years from funding, Evolus will no longer be required to make principal payments in 2026. The refinancing significantly reduces interest expense and enhances financial flexibility and access to capital as compared to the previous agreement with more favorable terms overall. It reinforces Evolus’ ability to generate cash and manage its capital structure efficiently while providing additional working capital flexibility to support continued commercial momentum and strategic initiatives.
“Our partnership with Pharmakon over the past three years has been key to supporting Evolus’ growth and we are happy to continue this incredibly productive relationship,” said Sandra Beaver, Chief Financial Officer of Evolus. “We are also very pleased to be able to execute this non-dilutive transaction in today’s market environment with Pharmakon.
Through a competitive process, we secured favorable terms with our current lender, eliminated exit fees from the existing facility, and closed the refinancing in a very efficient manner.”
A Form 8-K outlining the full terms of the new credit facility was filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Leerink Partners acted as exclusive financial advisor to Evolus.
