Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On October 13, 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Comerica Loan Agreement”) with Comerica Bank (“Comerica”), providing for a revolving credit facility of up to $7,500,000 (the “Credit Facility”). The Company may use the proceeds of the Credit Facility for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

 

The amount that may be borrowed under the Credit Facility is the lower of (i) the revolving limit of $7,500,000 (the “Revolving Line”) and (ii) 80% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable plus an applicable non-formula amount consisting of $2,000,000 of additional availability at close not based upon the Company’s eligible accounts receivable, with such additional availability reducing by $250,000 per quarter beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2022. Borrowings on the Credit Facility are limited to $5,000,000 until 80% of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ customers are paying into a collection account or segregated governmental account with Comerica. The Revolving Line can also include, at the Company’s option, credit card services with a sublimit of $300,000. Borrowings on the Revolving Line are subject to an interest rate equal to prime plus 0.50%, with prime being the greater of (x) Comerica’s stated prime rate or (y) the sum of (A) the daily adjusting LIBOR rate plus (B) 2.5% per annum. The Company is also required to pay an unused facility fee quarterly in arrears in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum on the average unused but available portion of the Revolving Line for such quarter.

 

The Credit Facility matures on September 30, 2023, and is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

The Comerica Loan Agreement contains affirmative and negative restrictive covenants that are applicable whether or not any amounts are outstanding under the Comerica Loan Agreement. These restrictive covenants could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business. The Comerica Loan Agreement also contains customary events of default.

 

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Comerica Loan Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of such agreement. The representations and warranties may have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to such agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under such agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of such agreement, and this subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosure.

 

 
 

 

The foregoing summary of the Agreement is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

As a condition for Comerica to extend the Credit Facility to the Company and its subsidiaries, the Company’s existing creditors, Ampersand 2018 Limited Partnership and 1315 Capital II, L.P. (the “Existing Creditors”), entered into that certain Subordination Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2021, pursuant to which each Existing Creditor agreed to subordinate all of the indebtedness and obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries owing to such Existing Creditor to all of the indebtedness and obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries owing to Comerica (the “Subordination Agreement”). Each Existing Creditor further agreed to subordinate all of its respective security interests in assets or property of the Company and its subsidiaries to Comerica’s security interests in such assets or property. The Subordination Agreement provides that it is solely for the benefit of Comerica and each of the Existing Creditors and is not for the benefit of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

 

The foregoing summary of the Subordination Agreement is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Subordination Agreement, a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
