Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 23, 2026, Upwork Inc., or the Company, and the Company’s domestic subsidiaries entered into a Credit Agreement, or the Credit Facility, with the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, L/C issuer, and swingline lender, and BofA Securities, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners. The Credit Facility provides for a secured revolving loan, available in an amount up to $150.0 million, which includes a $10.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit. The Credit Facility also includes an option to increase the amount of the Credit Facility, through either an increase to the revolving loan or the incurrence of new term loans, up to an additional $50.0 million. The proceeds of the Credit Facility may be used to fund the Company’s working capital and other general corporate purposes, repurchase or repay certain existing convertible indebtedness of the Company, pay fees and expenses in connection with the transaction and fund potential acquisitions, subject to the terms of the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on June 23, 2029.

The obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all assets of the Company and the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum of either, at the Company’s election, (i) Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Facility) plus a margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.50% or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility), plus a margin of 1.00% to 1.50%, in either case, with the applicable margin depending on the Company’s Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility). The Company is also obligated to pay other customary facility fees for a credit facility of this size and type.

The Credit Facility contains customary covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur liens, incur indebtedness, make certain restricted payments, merge or consolidate and make dispositions of assets and financial covenants to maintain a certain consolidated net leverage ratio and a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Facility, the lender may cease making loans, terminate the Credit Facility, and declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable. The Credit Facility specifies a number of events of default (some of which are subject to applicable grace or cure periods), including, among other things, non-payment defaults, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults and material judgment defaults.

The foregoing description of the Credit Facility is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Credit Facility, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
