Credit Agreement Amendment and Waiver
Lazydays Holdings, Inc. has successfully negotiated waivers and amendments with its primary lenders, M&T Bank and Coliseum Holdings I, LLC, to address multiple defaults, enhance liquidity by approximately $14 million, and reduce non-floorplan indebtedness by $15 million.
Summary
- Lazydays Holdings, Inc. (GORV) entered into a Limited Waiver and Fourth Amendment to its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (M&T) on June 12, 2025.
- The Amendment grants waivers for specified defaults, including failure to make vehicle curtailment payments (April 2025), failure to make an accrued interest payment (May 1, 2025), inability to comply with minimum liquidity covenant (April 30, 2025), failure to pay certain liabilities and taxes, false solvency representation prior to July 31, 2025, and cross-defaults under the Coliseum term loan and First Horizon Bank mortgage.
- The lenders waived $2,500,000 quarterly amortization payments for the Revolving Credit Facility due on June 30, 2025, September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2025.
- A mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Credit Facility will be required on December 31, 2025, if the outstanding principal balance is not reduced by at least $7,500,000 between June 1, 2025, and December 31, 2025.
- The Floor Plan Credit Facility commitments will be reduced with dealership sales, but not below a floor of $245,000,000.
- The Company is required to sell unimproved land in Aurora, Colorado, Las Vegas, Nevada, and Waller, Texas by a specified deadline.
- Lazydays also entered into a Waiver of Defaults and Consent with Coliseum Holdings I, LLC on June 12, 2025, waiving defaults related to tax payments and cross-defaults from the M&T Credit Agreement and First Horizon Bank mortgage.
- The Coliseum Waiver consents to the sale of the Boulder Hwy Individual Property and the Claremore Individual Property (Tulsa Facility), with specific prepayment requirements for the Claremore property including $3,654,058.97 in principal.
- The Company announced that these transactions, combined with recent divestitures, will generate approximately $14 million in liquidity and reduce non-floorplan indebtedness by $15 million, bringing the total non-floorplan indebtedness to approximately $44 million.
- Divestitures contributing to these results include dealerships in Mesa, AZ (closed May 30, 2025), Fort Pierce, FL (closed June 6, 2025), Longmont, CO (closed June 13, 2025), and Las Vegas, NV (expected to close later this week).
- The Company is required to deliver an Updated Business Plan by June 30, 2025, and continue retaining a Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) from Berkeley Research Group, LLC and a financial advisor (Company FA) such as CR3 or BRG.
- An Investment Banker must be retained to market and advise on new capital raises through asset sales and/or debt or equity transactions.
Sentiment
Score: 4
Explanation: The company is in a distressed financial state, evidenced by multiple defaults and the need for significant waivers and asset sales. While the successful negotiation of these waivers and the resulting liquidity injection are positive steps towards stabilization, the underlying issues and ongoing requirements for asset sales and potential capital raises indicate continued challenges and a high level of risk. The solvency representation being false is a major negative.
Positives
- Successful negotiation of waivers for multiple significant defaults under both M&T and Coliseum credit agreements, preventing immediate adverse actions.
- Waiver of $7,500,000 in scheduled Revolving Credit Facility amortization payments through December 31, 2025, providing immediate cash flow relief.
- Divestitures and related transactions are expected to generate approximately $14 million in liquidity for the Company.
- Non-floorplan indebtedness is projected to be reduced by $15 million, lowering it to approximately $44 million, which will meaningfully decrease interest expense.
- The company is actively streamlining its footprint and divesting non-core assets, aligning with a strategic turnaround plan.
- Continued support from key lenders (M&T and Coliseum) through the waiver and amendment process.
Negatives
- The Company experienced multiple significant defaults, including failure to make curtailment payments, interest payments, and non-compliance with minimum liquidity covenants, indicating severe financial distress.
- The solvency representation was false when made or deemed made prior to July 31, 2025, raising concerns about the company's financial viability.
- The need for waivers and amendments highlights ongoing financial challenges and a strained relationship with lenders.
- The company is required to sell additional unimproved properties (Aurora, CO; Las Vegas, NV; Waller, TX), indicating a continued need for asset divestment to generate cash.
- Retention of a Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) from Berkeley Research Group, LLC and a financial advisor (Company FA) suggests a need for external oversight and restructuring expertise due to financial difficulties.
- The requirement to raise new capital through asset sales and/or debt or equity capital raises indicates a persistent need for funding beyond current operations and asset sales.
Risks
- Failure to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Facility by at least $7,500,000 by December 31, 2025, would trigger a mandatory prepayment for the deficiency.
- Inability to sell unimproved properties in Aurora, Colorado, Las Vegas, Nevada, and Waller, Texas by the specified deadline could lead to further defaults.
- Failure to deliver an Updated Business Plan by June 30, 2025, or to implement its recommendations, could jeopardize lender support.
- Ongoing retention of external financial advisors and a CAO indicates a high level of financial oversight and potential for continued operational challenges.
- The company's solvency representation being false prior to July 31, 2025, suggests fundamental financial instability.
- Potential for further cross-defaults if the company fails to meet obligations under other credit agreements or mortgages.
- The Floor Plan Credit Facility commitments will be reduced with dealership sales, potentially impacting inventory financing capacity if sales are significant.
- The requirement to raise new capital through asset sales and/or debt or equity capital raises carries execution risk and potential for dilution for existing shareholders.
Future Outlook
Lazydays Holdings, Inc. aims to continue strengthening its balance sheet, improving operational performance of dealerships, and strategically divesting non-core assets. The company expects to close the divestiture of its Las Vegas, NV dealership and related real estate later this week. An Updated Business Plan is due by June 30, 2025, which will outline strategies for improving financial performance, liquidity, revenue enhancement, and cost reductions. The company will also continue efforts to raise new capital through asset sales and/or debt or equity capital raises.

- Ron Fleming also commented: "As we continue to work towards building a more resilient Company, our focus remains on revitalizing our core dealership operations, while streamlining our footprint and reducing debt through the sale of non-core assets. We are thankful to our lenders for their ongoing support as we work to achieve these objectives."
Industry Context
