Line of Credit Amendment

Effective June 19, 2024, Sezzle Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 1 to Limited Guaranty and Indemnity Agreement (the “Line of Credit Amendment”) amending certain terms to Limited Guaranty and Indemnity Agreement, dated April 19, 2024, by the Company (as “Limited Guarantor”) for the benefit of Bastion Funding VI LP (as “Administrative Agent”) (the “Existing Limited Guaranty”).

The Line of Credit Amendment amends the Existing Limited Guaranty to permit the Company to repurchase equity interests of the Company or any warrants of the same in an aggregate amount not to exceed $3 million, regardless if the Company meets the Restricted Payment covenants in the Existing Limited Guaranty.

The foregoing description of the Line of Credit Amendment is qualified in all respects by reference to the full text of the Line of Credit Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein. The Line of Credit Amendment is not intended to be a source of factual, business or operational information about the Company or its subsidiaries. The representations and warranties contained in the Line of Credit Amendment were made only for purposes of such agreement (or the applicable related agreements) and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement (or the applicable related agreements), and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by disclosures for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between the parties instead of establishing matters as facts; and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors or security holders. Accordingly, investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties.
