RideNow Group, Inc. Announces $220 Million Senior Secured Term Loan Refinancing; In Advanced Discussions for $50 Million Asset Backed Lending (ABL) Facility

CHANDLER, Ariz., Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- RideNow Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDNW) today announced that it has entered into a new term loan credit agreement with affiliates of Centerbridge Partners, L.P. providing for $220 million in senior secured term loans bearing interest at Adjusted Term SOFR, plus 8.375% per annum. The proceeds of the term loans were used to refinance in full the Company's existing term loan credit agreement with Oaktree Fund Administration, LLC, which was terminated on the closing date. The new term loans mature on September 25, 2031.

"Securing this new term loan facility is a direct reflection of the underlying strength and trajectory of RideNow," said Michael Quartieri, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President. "Extending our debt maturity to 2031 eliminates near-term maturity risks and significantly enhances our financial flexibility. Further, the addition of an ABL facility with Wells Fargo in the near term will provide the Company with additional financial flexibility as we move forward. This transaction is the culmination of a transformational quarter for RideNow as we also introduced Clear Price, our new FTC compliant pricing model during the quarter. As a leader in the powersports dealership industry, we were one of the early adopters of FTC compliant pricing, which had a short-term negative impact on our August results. With a stronger balance sheet now locked in and our adoption of FTC compliant pricing behind us, the entire RideNow team remains focused on driving operational excellence and executing our long-term growth initiatives. To that end, we also completed the tuck-in acquisition of a Can-Am and Sea Doo dealer into our new Tallahassee location at the end of August."

In tandem with the term loan refinancing, RideNow is in advanced discussions with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. regarding a proposed $50 million senior secured ABL credit facility. Borrowings under the proposed ABL Facility are expected to bear interest at Daily Simple SOFR plus 2.25% per annum. The Company expects to utilize a portion of the proceeds from the ABL Facility to pay down a portion of the $220 million term loan balance, subject to terms outlined in the term loan credit agreement. The ABL Facility is intended to provide to RideNow access to debt with lower cost to optimize its capital structure.

The ABL Facility is expected to be secured by a first-priority security interest in certain working capital assets and inventory. Additionally, the ABL Facility is expected to replace the used floorplan facility currently in place with Wells Fargo. Terms of the ABL Facility remain subject to final credit approval, negotiation and execution of definitive loan documentation, and customary closing conditions.
