Direct Digital Holdings announced on October 15, 2024, the filing of its Form 10-K for the full-year ended December 31, 2023, and its Form 10-Q for the first and second quarters of 2024.

Additionally, the company worked with lenders to provide temporary relief from debt covenants, with debt amendments executed on October 15, 2024.
