AKA Brands Strengthens Balance Sheet with Refinancing

Refinances Credit Facility and Extends Overall Debt Maturity

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--a.k.a. Brands Holding Corp. (NYSE: AKA), a portfolio of next generation fashion brands, today announced the successful refinancing of its credit facility, extending the maturity of its debt and enhancing its financial flexibility.

The amended and restated credit agreement, which became effective on October 14, 2025, provides for an $85 million term loan and approximately $35 million in revolving credit capacity, replacing the Company’s existing credit facility. The new facility bears interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 3.25-3.75% per annum, based on the ratio of the Company’s debt secured by a first lien on any of the Company’s assets as compared to the Company’s adjusted EBITDA. The agreement also extends the maturity of both the term loan and revolving credit facility to October 14, 2028.

“We are pleased to announce this refinancing, which extends the maturity of our credit facility by two years,” said Kevin Grant, Chief Financial Officer, a.k.a. Brands. “This financing agreement provides us with additional balance sheet flexibility to execute our strategic priorities and create long-term value for our shareholders.”

Additional terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are set forth in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 15, 2025.
