(in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent") and the lenders party thereto (the "Lenders"). The Credit Agreement requires the Company to issue warrants to the Lenders that hold Term Tranche B Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to purchase up to 1,000 ordinary shares of the Company per $1,000 principal amount of Term Tranche B Loans then outstanding (the "Warrants"). On June 11, 2026, the Borrowers have entered into the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement and Acknowledgement (the "Second Amendment") with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to, among other things, postpone the requirement for the Company to issue the Warrants from (x) on or prior to July 1, 2026 to (b) on or prior to November 17, 2026.

The foregoing description of the Second Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Second Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is expressly incorporated by reference herein.

**Approval of saypha® ChIQ™**

On June 15, 2026, the Company issued an announcement titled "Obagi Medical Announces FDA Approval of Obagi® saypha® ChIQ™ Injectable Hyaluronic Acid Gel", a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Form 6-K.

The information in this report on Form 6-K (including Exhibits 10.1 and 99.2 hereto) ("Report") shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Exhibit 99.2

**Obagi Medical Announces FDA Approval of Obagi® saypha® ChIQ™ Injectable Hyaluronic Acid Gel** 

*Approval Further Expands Obagi Medical's Injectable Portfolio and Strengthens Its Position as a Leading Dermatological Megabrand*

LONDON, June 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Waldencast plc (NASDAQ: WALD) ("Waldencast" or the "Company"), a global multi-brand beauty and wellness platform, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") has approved Obagi® saypha® ChIQ™ injectable hyaluronic acid ("HA") gel, the latest addition to the Obagi® injectable portfolio under the Obagi Medical brand.

This approval builds on the launch of Obagi® saypha® MagIQ™ and accelerates Obagi Medical's strategy to establish Obagi as a comprehensive leader at the intersection of advanced skincare and medical aesthetics. The introduction of Obagi® saypha® ChIQ™ further expands the brand's addressable market in the fast-growing U.S. dermal filler category.

"Obagi® saypha® ChIQ™ is a meaningful addition to our integrated aesthetic portfolio – giving practitioners and patients more ways to achieve end-to-end skin transformation with predictable, measurable outcomes, and bringing us closer to our vision of building the world's leading dermatological megabrand." said Michel Brousset, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Waldencast.

Obagi® saypha® ChIQ™ developed by Croma-Pharma GmbH, utilizes proprietary MACRO Core Technology that creates a stable 3D HA matrix designed to provide natural-looking results with category leading capabilities including delivering high usable HA content\* at injection, consistent particle distribution, and predictable injection force and swelling profiles<sup>i</sup>. It is indicated for use in cheek augmentation and correction of midface contour deficiencies in patients over the age of 21.

"We are thrilled to continue our successful partnership with Obagi Medical," said Andreas Prinz, Chief Executive Officer of Croma-Pharma. "With over 130 million syringes produced globally, the saypha® line sets a high standard for safety, quality, and patient satisfaction. Obagi® saypha® ChIQ™ brings meaningful innovation to the U.S. market."

Obagi recently shared that the launch of Obagi® saypha® MagIQ™ has received strong provider feedback from the results of the ALOHA (Aesthetic Leadership with Obagi Hyaluronic Acid) Program. Unveiled in January 2026, the ALOHA Program is designed to become the largest real-world evaluation of a newly launched hyaluronic acid (HA) filler to date. The interim data highlights that 94% of injectors believe Obagi® saypha® MagIQ™ complements their current filler options with current industry data showing only 1 in 10 filler visits includes a professional skincare purchase<sup>ii</sup> - yet 42.6% of practices using Obagi® saypha® MagIQ™ have already evaluated Obagi skincare<sup>iii</sup>, proving the combination drives attachment rates well above the industry norm.

Exhibit 99.2

Dr. Carolyn Jacob, MD commented: "The approval of Obagi® saypha® ChIQ™ builds on the real-world success of Obagi® saypha® MagIQ™ and showcases Obagi's commitment to delivering clinically proven, high-performance integrated skincare plus injectable aesthetic solutions. This product strengthens our ability to address a wide range of patient needs with precision and confidence, while maintaining the highest standards of safety and efficacy."
