Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On January 19, 2026, MSP Recovery, Inc. (the “Company”), through its subsidiaries, entered into a letter agreement with Hazel Partners Holdings LLC (“Hazel”), in its capacity as administrative agent and lender under the Company’s existing working capital credit facility (the “Hazel Letter Agreement”) to provide $300,000 to be used solely for operating expenses.
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 (the “Q3-2025 Form 10-Q”), the Company is party to a working capital credit facility with Hazel (the “Working Capital Credit Facility”), which includes a discretionary funding mechanism referred to as the Operational Collection Floor. Advances under the Operational Collection Floor are made solely at Hazel’s discretion, are not subject to any commitment or minimum availability, and are conditioned on the satisfaction or waiver of applicable conditions under the governing credit documentation. The Working Capital Credit Facility does not provide the Company with committed liquidity, does not establish a borrowing base, and does not obligate Hazel to fund any amounts.
As of the filing of the Q3-2025 Form 10-Q, the Company disclosed that aggregate advances under the Operational Collection Floor had reached approximately $6.0 million, and that no remaining funding capacity was available under the facility at that time.
Pursuant to the Hazel Letter Agreement, Hazel has agreed, in its sole discretion, to make a one-time advance of $300,000 to increase the Operational Collection Floor beyond the previously disclosed level. The advance was funded on January 20, 2026, subject to the conditions set forth in the Hazel Letter Agreement and the underlying credit agreement, including the absence of any event of default or default at the time of funding.
The $300,000 advance is a standalone accommodation and does not reinstate, replenish, or otherwise reopen availability under the Working Capital Credit Facility or the Operational Collection Floor. Other than this specific advance, no additional funding is currently available to the Company under the Working Capital Credit Facility, and the Company has no rights to, and no reasonable basis to expect, any further advances thereunder. The Hazel Letter Agreement does not modify the discretionary nature of the facility, does not create any commitment for future funding, and does not provide the Company with access to ongoing or recurring liquidity.
The Company cautions that the receipt of the $300,000 advance should not be viewed as indicative of Hazel’s willingness to provide future funding, the availability of additional liquidity, or the Company’s ability to meet its operating or debt service obligations beyond the funding of this specific amount.
The foregoing description of the Hazel Letter Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Hazel Letter Agreement, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Attn: John Ruiz, Chief Executive Officer
Dear Mr. Ruiz:
Reference is made to:
- the Amendment No. 3 to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated October 1, 2024 (the "Credit Agreement"), among Subrogation Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Borrower"), MSP Recovery Claims, Series LLC – Series 15-09-321 (the "Series"), a registered series of MSP Recovery Claims, Series LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and MSP Recovery, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the "Parent") and Hazel Partners Holdings LLC, as Lender (the "Lender") and as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent").
Unless otherwise defined in this letter, capitalized terms used in this letter have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
The Borrower has requested funding in the amount of $300,000 to increase the Operational Collection Floor.
According to Section 2.1(c)(ii) of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent may, at its sole discretion and subject to appropriate Collateral, increase the Increased Term Loan B Commitment by an additional
$6,000,000 upon Parent’s request and consent, to be disbursed over a period of three to six months commencing on a date occurring after August 25, 2024, to be determined by the Administrative Agent, and upon such terms and conditions to be determined by the Administrative Agent, and any such increase will correspondingly increase the amount of the Operational Collection Escrow Floor (the "Operational Collection Floor Increase").
With respect to the Operational Collection Floor Increase, the Administrative Agent confirms (i) that on March 3, 2025 it funded $1,750,000 to the Borrower under section 2.1(c)ii and, as such, increased the Operational Collection Floor by the same amount, and (ii) on April 4, 2025 it funded $1,500,000 to the Borrower under section 2.1(c)ii and, as such, increased the Operational Collection Floor by the same amount, and (iii) on May 2, 2025 it funded $750,000 to the Borrower under section 2.1(c)ii and, as such, increased the Operational Collection Floor by the same amount, and (iv) on May 16, 2025 it funded $750,000 to the Borrower under section 2.1(c)ii and, as such, increased the Operational Collection Floor by the same amount, and (v) on June 2, 2025, it funded $750,000 to the Borrower under section 2.1(c)ii and, as such, increased the Operational Collection Floor by the same amount, and (vi) on December 12, 2025 it funded $150,000 to the Borrower under section 2.1(c)ii and, as such, increased the Operational Collection Floor by the same amount, and (vii) on December 30, 2025 it funded $100,000 to the Borrower under section 2.1(c)ii and, as such, increased the Operational Collection Floor by the same amount, and (viii) on January 7, 2026 it funded $325,000 to the Borrower under section 2.1(c)ii and, as such, increased the Operational Collection Floor by the same amount, and (ix) on January 12, 2026 it funded $100,000 to the Borrower under section 2.1(c)ii and, as such, increased the Operational Collection Floor by the same amount, and (x) on January 14, 2026 it funded $155,000 to the Borrower under section 2.1(c)ii and, as such,
Exhibit 10.1
increased the Operational Collection Floor by the same amount, and (xi) on January 16, 2026 it funded $252,000 to the Borrower under section 2.1(c)ii and, as such, increased the Operational Collection Floor by the same amount, and (xii) its willingness to make an additional increase of the Operational Collection Floor in the aggregate amount of $300,000 by January 20, 2026 (the "Credit Date") to be used solely as approved by the majority of the Borrower’s Operating Committee members, thus with the Operational Collection Floor increased in aggregate of $6,882,000 (the "Aggregate Operational Collection Floor").
In addition, the Administrative Agent provided funding in the amount of $550,000 on April 10, 2025 to MSP Recovery, LLC, for payment of legal expenses (together with the Aggregate Operational Collection Floor: “Additional Financing”).
The Administrative Agent confirms that as of the date of this letter, other than as set forth above, the conditions to funding of the Operational Collection Floor Increase by the Lender have either been satisfied or waived by it; provided however, that the Administrative Agent reserves all of its rights under the Credit Agreement and each of the related agreements in respect thereof should an event occur or new information become available to the Administrative Agent immediately prior to funding.
The payment of the Operational Collection Floor Increase in the amount of $300,000 is made at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and Lender under the condition that as of the Credit Date, after giving effect to this payment requested on the Credit Date, no event would result from the consummation of the borrowing contemplated hereby that would constitute an Event of Default or a Default. The Borrower shall not derive any claims for additional payments or any further rights from this payment. Additional payments under the Operational Collection Floor Increase may only be made at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and Lender.
Except as set forth above, the Administrative Agent reserves all of its rights under the Credit Agreement. [Signature pages follow]
