(“Trinity”) pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of August 7, 2023, by and between the Company, as borrower, and Trinity, as lender (as amended on June 21, 2025, the “Trinity Loan Agreement”).

The Term Loan and Revolving Facility may be prepaid at any time and without penalty, except that any prepayment of the aggregate principal amount of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan made within the one year anniversary of the Closing Date is subject to a prepayment premium equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan immediately prior to such prepayment. The Term Loan matures on June 1, 2031, and the Revolving Facility matures on June 26, 2029.

The Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and covenants limiting the ability of the Company to, among other things, incur debt, grant liens, pay dividends and distributions on capital stock, and make investments and acquisitions, in each case subject to exceptions customary for secured financings.

The Loan Agreement also contains a springing minimum revenue financial covenant subject to conditions with respect to total debt outstanding and liquidity.

Exhibit 99.1

Shoulder Innovations Announces Closing of up to $50 Million Credit Facility

Refinancing Existing Debt with Significantly Improved Terms

Provides Additional Undrawn Working Capital Capacity

Grand Rapids, MI – June 29, 2026 – Shoulder Innovations, Inc. (Shoulder Innovations, or the Company) (NYSE: SI), a commercial-stage medical technology company exclusively focused on transforming the shoulder surgical care market, today announced the closing of two new credit facilities for an aggregate amount of up to $50 million with Stifel Venture Banking.

The new credit facilities consist of a $15 million growth capital term loan, fully funded at closing to refinance the Company's existing credit facility, and a $30 million undrawn line of credit, with an additional $5 million accordion feature available upon the Company's request, subject to certain conditions. The annual interest rate under the term loan is equal to the greater of (i) 0.75% below the prime rate and (ii) 5.00%, and the annual interest rate under the line of credit is equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate and (ii) 5.00%. The term loan is interest-only through June 30, 2029, and matures in June 2031, and the line of credit matures in June 2029. At close, the new credit facilities do not result in additional indebtedness and do not include warrants.

“This refinancing represents an important step in strengthening our financial foundation as we continue to rapidly scale Shoulder Innovations,” said Jeff Points, Chief Financial Officer of Shoulder Innovations. “The new credit facility significantly improves the economics of our existing debt structure, provides additional financial flexibility, and better aligns our lender relationships with the current stage of our business. We are pleased to partner with Stifel Venture Banking, whose platform and resources are well suited to support our needs today and to grow with us over time.”

Additional information regarding the new credit facility and the refinancing of the Company’s existing credit facility will be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
