Executive Summary

Quantum Corp executed a comprehensive balance sheet restructuring: a $100M PIPE equity issuance at $9.42/share, a debt amendment extending term loan maturity to 2028 with a $5M principal paydown, and conversion of Dialectic convertible notes into equity. These actions eliminate near-term default risk and significantly strengthen the capital structure.

  • Convertible notes converted to equity, removing $75.9M liability
  • $5M mandatory debt paydown and proceeds applied to term loan
