PR Newswire
MADISON, Wis., Nov. 13, 2026
MADISON, Wis., Nov. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Accuray Incorporated (NASDAQ: ARAY) today announced that it has completed its financing transaction with TCW Asset Management Company LLC ("TCW"), the company's primary lender and largest shareholder. The transaction significantly reduces Accuray's debt, adds new capital and waives certain financial covenants through December 31, 2027. Together, these steps put the company's balance sheet on a firmer footing as it carries out the next phase of its previously announced strategic transformation.
The closing follows stockholder approval of all transaction-related proposals at Accuray's Special Meeting of Stockholders on October 6, 2026, and the 1-for-40 reverse stock split of the company's common stock, which took effect on November 9, 2026.
With the closing, the following terms are now in effect among other components:
- Deleveraging: TCW has exchanged $40 million in aggregate principal amount of its term loan for convertible preferred stock.
- Equity investment: TCW invested $15 million in cash when the transaction agreements were signed in July. That investment has now been exchanged for additional shares of the convertible preferred stock.
- Covenant holiday: Certain financial covenants under the company's existing term loan are waived through December 31, 2027. The first covenant test date is March 31, 2028.
- Additional liquidity: A delayed draw term loan of up to $5 million in aggregate principal amount is available to Accuray, subject to certain conditions.
- Governance: The size of the company's board of directors was reduced from 8 to 7, with TCW having the right to appoint two directors of the 7 board members. Steven Mayer and Chan Galbato, current members of the board, serve as designees for TCW. As previously announced, Richard A. ("Randy") Meier joined Accuray's Board of Directors as an independent director in October 2026.
- Reverse Stock Split: a 1-for-40 reverse stock split of the company's common stock took effect on November 9, 2026.
"Completing this transaction is an important milestone for Accuray as it strengthens our balance sheet. As we move forward, we continue to stay focused on our mission and on delivering innovative technology and service to our customers and their patients. I want to thank TCW for believing in our plan and our stockholders for standing behind us," said Steve La Neve, Accuray's CEO.
The completed transaction is a key part of Accuray's Transformation Phase II, the plan Accuray outlined in July 2026 to strengthen its competitive position and drive long-term growth. Phase II strategy is anchored in three priorities: advancing differentiated innovation, continuing to lower the company's cost structure, and expanding market reach through direct and partner channels.
Additional information about the completion of the transaction will be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
