Significant changes in the Company’s long-term debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were as follows:

Francisco Partners Facility

On March 9, 2022, the Company amended the note purchase agreement (the “FP Note Purchase Agreement”) governing the issuance and sale of senior secured notes due on November 24, 2026 (the “Francisco Partners Facility”) to, among other things, (i) increase the principal amount of senior secured notes that may be issued under the FP Note Purchase Agreement to up to $154 million, (ii) increase the second tranche of the Francisco Partners Facility (the “Delayed Draw Notes”) to $24 million of senior secured notes, and (iii) accelerate the funding of the Delayed Draw Notes. The Delayed Draw Notes were issued net of a $4 million original issue discount and resulted in proceeds received of $20 million, of which $8.6 million was allocated to proceeds from debt and $11.4 million was allocated to proceeds from warrants and derivatives in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company reclassified deferred debt commitment costs of $13.2 million to discount on debt and $137 thousand to deferred issuance costs related to the issuance of the Delayed Draw Notes. The Company incurred an incremental $208 thousand of deferred issuance costs related to the issuance of the Delayed Draw Notes.

On March 25, 2022, the Company further amended the FP Note Purchase Agreement to, among other things, (i) decrease the principal amount of senior secured notes that may be issued under the Francisco Partners Facility to up to $119 million, (ii) amend certain existing covenants, as described below, (iii) add an additional covenant, as described below, (iv) revise the maturity date to April 1, 2026, and (v) change the timing of quarterly interest payments to May 15th, August 15th, November 15th and February 15th of each calendar year, with the first such interest payment required to be made on May 15, 2022. As consideration for the amendment on March 25, 2022, Francisco Partners received an additional 1.9 million shares of Terran Orbital Corporation's common stock in connection with the Tailwind Two Merger. Upon closing of the Tailwind Two Merger, the Company issued $65 million of senior secured notes as the third tranche of the Francisco Partners Facility (the “Conditional Notes”). The Conditional Notes were issued net of a $5 million original

issue discount and resulted in proceeds received of $60 million, of which $14.4 million was allocated to proceeds from debt, $30.8 million was allocated to proceeds from warrants and derivatives, and $14.8 million was allocated to proceeds from the issuance of common stock in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company reclassified deferred debt commitment costs of $32.8 million to discount on debt and $509 thousand to deferred issuance costs upon the issuance of the Conditional Notes. The Company incurred an incremental $851 thousand of issuance costs related to the issuance of the Conditional Notes, of which $641 thousand was allocated to debt and $210 thousand was allocated to equity.

As part of the amendment on March 25, 2022, the liquidity maintenance financial covenant of the Francisco Partners Facility was modified to require that as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, the Company must have an aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of at least (i) $20 million in the case of the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022, (ii) $10 million in the case of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022, and (iii) $20 million plus 15% of certain aggregate funded indebtedness of the Company in the case of each fiscal quarter thereafter. In addition, a new covenant was added requiring the Company to at least break even on an EBITDA basis (as defined in the FP Note Purchase Agreement) by December 31, 2023, subject to certain extensions.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximately $1.0 million and $289 thousand of contractual paid-in-kind interest was included in the outstanding principal balance of the Francisco Partners Facility, respectively.

Senior Secured Notes due 2026

On March 8, 2021, the Company issued $87 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due April 1, 2026 (the “Senior Secured Notes due 2026”) which resulted in gross proceeds of $50 million from Lockheed Martin Corporation (“Lockheed Martin”) and the exchange and extinguishment of $37 million then outstanding convertible notes. The loss on extinguishment of debt totaled $70.6 million and primarily related to the recognition of warrants issued at fair value. The Company allocated $47.5 million of the proceeds received to the Senior Secured Notes due 2026 and the remainder of the proceeds were allocated to warrants issued upon funding of the Senior Secured Notes due 2026 in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Refer to Note 6 “Warrants and Derivatives” for further discussion regarding warrants.

On March 25, 2022, the Senior Secured Notes due 2026 were impacted as follows:

Exchange of Debt for Equity

In connection with the PIPE Investment, two holders of the Senior Secured Notes due 2026 agreed to, in substance, exchange the outstanding amount of principal and interest for common stock of Terran Orbital Corporation with any residual amounts settled in cash, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $727 thousand related to $4.6 million of the carrying amount of Senior Secured Notes due 2026 on March 25, 2022. The consideration transferred as part of the extinguishment included common stock with a fair value of $4.6 million and a cash payment of $703 thousand, of which $293 thousand represents the repayment of debt and $410 thousand represents the payment of interest in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Rollover Debt

On March 25, 2022, the note purchase agreement governing the Senior Secured Notes due 2026 was amended to, among other things, (i) set the amount of senior secured notes that will remain outstanding with Lockheed Martin subsequent to the Tailwind Two Merger to $25 million (the “Lockheed Martin Rollover Debt”), (ii) increase and set the amount of senior secured notes that will remain outstanding with Beach Point Capital ("Beach Point") subsequent to the Tailwind Two Merger to $31.3 million (the “Beach Point Rollover Debt”), (iii) set the terms of the Lockheed Martin Rollover Debt and the Beach Point Rollover Debt to have substantially similar terms as the terms of the Francisco Partners Facility, excluding call protection and the Beach Point Rollover Debt bearing interest at 11.25% (9.25% of which is payable in cash and 2.0% of which is payable in kind), and (iv) cause the Beach Point Rollover Debt to be subordinated in right of payment to the Francisco Partners Facility.

In connection with the Tailwind Two Merger, the Company partially extinguished Lockheed Martin's portion of the Senior Secured Notes due 2026, resulting in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.8 million related to $32.6 million of the carrying amount, inclusive of an unamortized premium, of Senior Secured Notes due 2026 on March 25, 2022. The consideration transferred as part of the partial extinguishment included a cash payment of $30.8 million, of which $25 million represents the repayment of debt and $5.8 million

represents the payment of interest in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. In addition, the Lockheed Martin Rollover Debt represents a modification of Lockheed Martin's portion of the Senior Secured Notes due 2026. The Company expensed $323 thousand of third-party expenses related to the modification.

In connection with the PIPE Investment and the amendment on March 25, 2022, Beach Point agreed to, in substance, exchange a portion of the outstanding amount of principal and interest for common stock of Terran Orbital Corporation with the remainder representing the Beach Point Rollover Debt. As consideration for the amendment on March 25, 2022, Beach Point received an additional 2.4 million shares of Terran Orbital Corporation's common stock as part of the Tailwind Two Merger. Accordingly, Beach Point's portion of the Senior Secured Notes due 2026 was deemed to have been extinguished for the issuance of the Beach Point Rollover Debt and common stock of Terran Orbital Corporation, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $24.2 million related to $38.6 million carrying amount of Senior Secured Notes due 2026 on March 25, 2022. The consideration transferred as part of the extinguishment included common stock with a fair value of $31.8 million and the Beach Point Rollover Debt with a fair value of $31 million. The Company incurred $328 thousand of third-party expenses related to the Beach Point Rollover Debt, of which $178 thousand was allocated to debt and $151 thousand was allocated to equity.

As of September 30, 2022, the amount of contractual paid-in-kind interest that was included in the outstanding principal balance of the Beach Point Rollover Debt was not material.

PIPE Investment Obligation

An affiliate of a director and shareholder of the Company invested $30 million as part of the PIPE Investment (the "Insider PIPE Investment"). The subscription agreement for the Insider PIPE Investment included a provision that obligates the Company to pay the affiliate a quarterly fee of $1.875 million for sixteen quarters beginning with the period ending March 31, 2022 (the “PIPE Investment Obligation”). The first four quarterly payments are to be paid in cash and the remaining payments are to be paid, at the Company's option, in cash or common stock of the Company, subject to subordination to and compliance with the Company's debt facilities. The PIPE Investment Obligation represents a liability within scope of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, (“ASC 480”) with subsequent measurement within scope of ASC 835, Interest (“ASC 835”).

The Insider PIPE Investment resulted in proceeds received of $30 million, of which $13 million was allocated to proceeds from debt and $17 million was allocated to proceeds from the PIPE Investment in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows based on relative fair value. The Company incurred $259 thousand of issuance costs related to the Insider PIPE Investment, of which $112 thousand was allocated to debt and $147 was allocated to equity.

Subsequent Event: Convertible Notes due 2027

On October 31, 2022, the Company entered into a convertible note and warrant purchase agreement (the “Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement”) for the issuance and sale of second lien secured convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of $100 million to Lockheed Martin (the “Convertible Notes due 2027”). The Convertible Notes due 2027 will mature on October 31, 2027 and bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum. Interest is payable quarterly on May 15th, August 15th, November 15th and February 15th of each calendar year, with the first such interest payment required to be made on February 15, 2023, and may be paid in cash or in kind at the election of the Company subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this transaction for general corporate purposes, including acquiring additional satellite assembly space, increasing its module production and for operating and working capital needs related to the manufacture and sale of small satellites to existing government, civil, and commercial customers, including Lockheed Martin.

The Convertible Notes due 2027 are convertible by their holders at any time prior to maturity into the number of shares of the Company’s common stock on the date of conversion obtained by dividing (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes due 2027, plus any accrued but unpaid interest, by (ii) a conversion price equal to $2.898 per share, representing the average of the closing price of the Company’s common stock from October 24, 2022 through October 28, 2022 plus a 15% premium. The conversion price is subject to anti-dilution adjustments customary for convertible debt securities. The Company has agreed to use reasonable best efforts to obtain shareholder approval for the issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes due 2027 and the exercise of the related 2027 Warrants (as defined below) by the holders that would exceed 30% of the common stock then outstanding at its next annual meeting; provided that, if such approval is not obtained and the holders seek to convert Convertible Notes due 2027 or exercise any related 2027 Warrants, the Company may settle the excess above any limit on said conversion and exercise of the

warrants set by applicable stock exchange rules in cash, as permitted by the Company’s Existing Debt Agreements (as defined below). Shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes due 2027 are subject to customary registration rights.

On or after May 1, 2024, the Company may redeem, at its option, for cash, all or any portion of the Convertible Notes due 2027, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the applicable principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, subject to certain conditions. Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change, including certain change of control transactions of the Company, holders may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their Convertible Notes due 2027 at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the applicable principal amount to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

The Convertible Notes due 2027 are secured by a second lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets and are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries.

The Convertible Notes due 2027 include financial covenants that require that as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, the Company must have an aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of at least (i) $10 million in the case of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022 and (ii) $20 million plus 15% of certain aggregate funded indebtedness of the Company in the case of each fiscal quarter thereafter. In addition, the Company is required to at least break even on an EBITDA basis (as defined in the Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement) by June 30, 2024, subject to certain extensions.

In connection with the Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into amendments to the FP Note Purchase Agreement and the note purchase agreements governing the Lockheed Martin Rollover Debt and Beach Point Rollover Debt (collectively, the “Existing Debt Agreements”), to among other things, provide consent for the Company to enter into the Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement as well as a First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement to govern the relative priorities of the security interests and certain other matters related to the Existing Debt Agreements. In addition, these amendments made certain changes to the Company’s Existing Debt Agreements to conform them to the language of the Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, including amending the existing financial covenants to require the Company to at least break even on an EBITDA basis (as defined in the Existing Debt Agreements) by June 30, 2024, subject to certain extensions.
