What happened
i3 Verticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: IIIV) and its subsidiary i3 Verticals, LLC entered an amended and restated credit agreement dated October 9, 2026. The agreement starts with $350 million of aggregate revolving commitments, a $20 million letter-of-credit sublimit and a $15 million swingline sublimit. The filing says those revolving commitments are the initial amount in effect on the closing date.
The letter-of-credit sublimit is the lesser of $20 million and the revolving commitments. The swingline sublimit is the lesser of $15 million and the revolving commitments. The filing names i3 Verticals, LLC as the borrower and i3 Verticals, Inc. as one of the guarantors. The agreement covers revolving borrowing, letters of credit and swingline borrowing.

| Metric | Latest | Change | Source |
|---|---|---|---|

Why it matters
OptimistFi's case is that i3 Verticals works if its focused public-sector software niche proves sticky enough to turn a smaller post-restructuring revenue base into recurring growth, operating leverage and cash flow. This filing is mixed for that thesis because it adds $350 million of revolving capacity, but the new flexibility is limited by the stated sublimits.
The letter-of-credit piece is about 5.7% of the revolver, so that part of the facility is small relative to total borrowing room. The $15 million swingline cap is even smaller. The main caveat is in the filing itself, which sets hard caps on both sublimits and limits how much can be used for those purposes unless the agreement changes later.
For investors, the filing is a financing backstop, not an operating update. It gives i3 Verticals more room to borrow, post letters of credit and use swingline borrowing. The next read on the business still comes from future performance and compliance updates.

What's next
The next compliance certificate under Section 6.02(b) will update the leverage ratio that sets the pricing tier. A lower ratio would support the cheaper tier. A higher ratio would leave the company in a costlier one.
That filing will be the next scheduled check on how the facility is being used and whether leverage is moving in a direction that fits the financing terms. If the next report lands in a lower tier, it would strengthen the financing side of the case. If it lands higher, the company stays in the more expensive tier.
