Item 2.04 Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or
an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.
On September 8, 2023, JP Morgan Chase waived, on a one-time only basis, a
default that has occurred under the Credit Agreement, dated February 28, 2020 between The Joint Corp. (the “Company”) as borrower,
and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., individually, and as Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank (“JPMorgan Chase”), as amended on
February 28, 2022 (the “Credit Agreement”). The default occurred as of the close of business on September 6, 2023. The default
resulted from the Company’s inability to deliver in a timely manner the financial statements in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 (the “2023 Q2 10-Q”). As previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on
Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 6, 2023, the Company’s inability to produce and file its 2023 Q2 10-Q in a timely manner
(which filing constitutes delivery to JP Morgan Chase of the Company’s financial statements) was the result of the discovery of
errors in the US GAAP accounting treatment for re-acquired regional developer rights and for transfer pricing for its variable interest
entities. JP Morgan Chase waived this default until September 30, 2023. A failure to deliver the 2023 Q2 10-Q on or before September 30,
2023, will constitute an immediate default.
Under the Credit Agreement, the Company’s senior secured revolving
line of credit (the “Revolver”) is $20,000,000, the portion of the Revolver available for letters of credit is $5,000,000
and the uncommitted additional line of credit is $30,000,000 (collectively, the “2022 Credit Facilities”). All outstanding
principal and interest on the 2022 Credit Facilities are due and payable on February 28, 2027. The Company currently has an outstanding
principal balance of $2 million under the Revolver, plus accrued interest of $36,150 as of September 6, 2023. The loans are secured by
all assets of the Company.
Upon the Company’s default (absent the waiver of the default), JP Morgan
Chase may, and at the request of the Required Lenders (as that term is defined in the Credit Agreement) shall, terminate the lenders’
commitments and/or declare the loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole or in part. Additionally, JP Morgan Chase may,
and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, increase the rate of interest applicable to the outstanding loans and other obligations
by 2% and exercise any rights and remedies provided to JP Morgan Chase, including all remedies provided under the UCC.
As of August 31, 2023, the Company has approximately $14.8 million dollars
of unrestricted cash, including the $2 million borrowed under the Credit Agreement. The Company has not breached any covenant (including
its financial covenants), other than the covenant to timely provide its quarterly financial statement.
The Company has no material obligations that may arise, increase, be accelerated
or become direct financial obligations as a result of the default under the Credit Agreement described herein or the resulting acceleration
of the outstanding loans or increase in interest rates should they occur at a later date, other than as described above.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Periodic Report on Form 8-K contains statements about future events
and expectations that constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, including expectations about the timing of the
completion and filing of the Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2023 and the provision of the financial statements therein to JP
Morgan Chase, are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of industry trends, our future financial and operating performance
and our growth plans, taking into account the information currently available to us. These statements are not statements of historical
fact. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations
of future results we express or imply in any forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on such statements. Factors
that could contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to; increases in our borrowing costs under our credit facility,
given that borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at rates tied to certain rising benchmark interest rates; state laws limiting
the use our business model, including prohibitions on advance payment for chiropractic services, which recently caused us to elect not
to offer franchises in South Dakota and Wyoming; increased costs to comply with a new SEC reporting rule enhancing and standardizing disclosures
regarding cybersecurity incidents and cybersecurity risk management, the factors described in our filings with the SEC, including in the
section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC
on March 10, 2023 and subsequently-filed current and quarterly reports. Words such as, "anticipates," "believes,"
"continues," "estimates," "expects," "goal," "objectives," "intends," "may,"
"opportunity," "plans," "potential," "near-term," "long-term," "projections,"
"assumptions," "projects," "guidance," "forecasts," "outlook," "target," "trends,"
"should," "could," "would," "will," and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking
statements. We qualify any forward-looking statements entirely by these cautionary factors. We assume no obligation to update or revise
any forward-looking statements for any reason or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in
these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future. Comparisons of results for current and any
prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and should
only be viewed as historical data.
