Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 5, 2025, Harrow, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a commitment letter with Fifth Third Bank, National Association (“Fifth Third”) in respect of a new revolving credit facility (the “Commitment Letter”). Under the Commitment Letter, subject to certain conditions, Fifth Third has committed to provide up to a $40.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”), that will mature on the earlier to occur of (a) the date that is 91 days prior to the earliest maturity date of the 2030 Notes (as defined in Item 8.01) and (b) the fifth anniversary of the closing of the New Revolving Credit Facility. Management of the Company expects that the New Revolving Credit Facility will close shortly after the Offering (as defined in Item 8.01).
Borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility are expected to bear interest at a floating rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (i) a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75%, or (ii) a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”)-based rate plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%. In addition, an unused fee of 0.25% per annum is expected to be payable monthly in arrears based on the undrawn portion of the commitments in respect of the New Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility are expected to be secured by a first priority lien in substantially all of the present and future property and assets, real and personal, of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors, subject to customary exceptions.
The conditions precedent to closing of the New Revolving Credit Facility include, among others, aggregate proceeds in the Offering of at least $250.0 million, repayment of outstanding indebtedness and finalization of definitive loan documents. There can be no assurances that the New Revolving Credit Facility will close on the terms described herein or at all. The Offering is not conditioned upon the entry into the New Revolving Credit Facility.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
To the extent applicable, the disclosure included in Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference.

On September 8, 2025, the Company issued a press release to announce the launch of its offer to sell $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”) in a private offering (the “Offering”) to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” in the United States, as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain non-U.S. persons outside the United States in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 2030 Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries and any of its other restricted subsidiaries that guarantees or co-issues any of its indebtedness or any indebtedness of any of its subsidiaries that guarantees the 2030 Notes, subject to certain exceptions.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete the Offering on terms and conditions favorable to it or at all, and the Company may decide to not pursue the Offering before completion.

Conditional Redemption of Senior Notes due 2027
On September 8, 2025, the Company delivered a conditional notice of full redemption to U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (the “Trustee”), the trustee for the Company’s outstanding 11.875% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”), to redeem all of the outstanding 2027 Notes on October 9, 2025 (the “2027 Note Redemption Date”) pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of the Indenture dated as of April 20, 2021, as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 20, 2022, governing the 2027 Notes. The 2027 Notes are listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “HROWM” and will be delisted following redemption.
The redemption of the 2027 Notes is subject to, and conditioned upon, completion of the Offering on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Company, the gross proceeds of which are no less than $250.0 million (the “Redemption Condition”).
If the Redemption Condition is satisfied, the 2027 Notes will be redeemed at a redemption price equal to 102% of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the 2027 Note Redemption Date.

The Company expects to deliver on the closing date of the Offering a notice of full redemption to the Trustee to redeem all of the Company’s outstanding 8.625% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) pursuant to the redemption provisions of the Indenture dated as of April 20, 2021, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 20, 2021. The redemption date for the 2026 Notes if notice of redemption is provided would be no less than 30 days, and no more than 60 days, following the delivery of the redemption notice to the Trustee. The 2026 Notes are listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “HROWL” and would be delisted following redemption.
The 2026 Notes will be redeemed at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes redeemed, plus a make-whole amount and accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the 2026 Note Redemption Date. If the redemption of the 2026 Notes is consummated, the Company will fund such redemption using a portion of the proceeds from the Offering.
Potential Acquisition of Remaining Interests in Melt Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
On August 7, 2025, the Company entered into a non-binding indication of interest (“IOI”) to acquire the equity interests in Melt Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Melt”) not already owned by the Company. As of June 30, 2025, the Company owned approximately 45% of Melt’s outstanding equity and also has a mid-single digit royalty on future net sales of Melt’s primary product (MELT-300). Certain officers and directors of the Company, including Mark L. Baum, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Andrew R. Boll, the Company’s President and Chief Financial Officer, own additional interests in Melt. Pursuant to the IOI, the Company would acquire the remaining equity interests of Melt in exchange for an initial cash payment of approximately $4.3 million at closing and contingent consideration consisting of cash and Company equity upon achievement of (i) FDA-approval of the MELT-300 product candidate, (ii) coding and reimbursement of the MELT-300 product candidate, and (iii) various one-time sales milestones. The acquisition is subject to negotiation of definitive transaction agreements, diligence, and other conditions. There can be no assurance that an acquisition of Melt will be completed on the terms contemplated or at all, and no assurance as to the potential timing of an acquisition.
