Key Changes

  • high

    Repaid $86M Deerfield convertible notes due 2027 using $75M OrbiMed term loan plus $11M cash, extending maturity to July 2031 without issuing equity.

  • high

    New loan bears interest at SOFR (3.00% floor) plus 5.75%, with quarterly amortization starting July 2029 at 7.5% of principal per quarter plus repayment premium and exit fees.

  • high

    Must maintain minimum trailing twelve-month revenue of $700M starting December 2027; loan includes extensive covenants limiting debt, dividends, asset sales, and M&A.

  • high

    Issued warrants to Deerfield for 10,025,535 shares at $8.567 strike, expiring August 2027, as part of convertible note repayment with no cash consideration.

Summary

The Oncology Institute refinanced its near-term debt obligations by replacing $86 million of 4% convertible notes maturing in 2027 with a $75 million term loan from OrbiMed maturing in 2031, using approximately $11 million of cash to cover the difference.

The transaction extends the company's debt maturity profile by four years and eliminates the equity conversion feature, avoiding shareholder dilution from the convertible notes. However, TOI issued warrants to Deerfield covering 10 million shares at $8.567 as part of the repayment, representing potential future dilution if exercised before August 2027.

The new loan carries a higher interest rate—SOFR plus 5.75% versus the prior 4% fixed rate—and imposes a $700 million minimum revenue covenant starting December 2027, a threshold the company must hit to avoid default. Quarterly principal amortization begins in mid-2029 at 7.5% per quarter, with additional repayment premiums and exit fees. The agreement also restricts operational flexibility through covenants limiting additional debt, dividends, asset sales, and M&A activity. Retail holders should monitor whether TOI can meet the revenue target and manage the higher debt service costs while maintaining growth.

(the “Company”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”), by and among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Orbimed Opportunities (CA) V LLC, as the initial lender and administrative agent. The Term Loan Agreement provides for a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $75 million, which was drawn in full on the date of entry into the Term Loan Agreement (the “Closing Date”).

a minimum net revenue requirement of at least $700 million for each most recently ended period of twelve consecutive months, commencing with the month ending December 31, 2027, and for each month thereafter.

The loan agreement includes a financial covenant requiring minimum trailing twelve-month net revenue of $700 million at least $700 million, beginning December 31, 2027. This sets a clear performance threshold the Company must maintain to avoid default.

On the Closing Date, the Company used the proceeds from the loans under the Term Loan Agreement, together with cash on hand, to repay in full the Company’s 4% senior secured convertible notes due 2027 (the “2027 Convertible Notes”), of which, as of July 1, 2026, there was approx. $86 million aggregate principal amount outstanding.

The Company used the $75 million loan proceeds plus cash on hand to fully repay approximately $86 million of 4% senior secured convertible notes that were due in 2027. This refinancing extends the maturity profile from 2027 to 2031 and eliminates the conversion feature.
