Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The primary material change is the replacement of the Financing Agreement dated January 11, 2016 (with Cerberus Business Finance, LLC) with a new Credit Agreement with MidCap Financial Trust and other lenders. The prior agreement was terminated in full upon the closing of the new facility.
Guidance, Risks, and Covenants
Covenants and Restrictions:
- Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio: The Company must maintain a specified ratio for each fiscal quarter.
- Borrowing Base: Availability is calculated based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory.
- Minimum Draw: Borrowers must maintain a minimum drawn balance of at least 30% of availability.
- Operational Restrictions: Limits on incurring additional indebtedness, liens, dividends, asset sales, mergers, and affiliate transactions.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Early Maturity: The facility may mature earlier than June 2021 if certain conditions are not met, specifically referencing the Company's two series of convertible notes maturing February 1, 2018.
- Termination Fees: If funding obligations terminate (outside of a full refinancing), fees of 3% (Year 1), 2% (Year 2), or 1% (Year 3+) of the terminated commitment amount apply.
Important Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the Company's ability to meet the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant to avoid default.
- Monitor the status of the convertible notes maturing February 1, 2018, as failure to address them could trigger early maturity of the new credit facility.
- Confirm the calculation of the borrowing base (eligible receivables and inventory) to understand actual liquidity availability versus the $52 million drawn.
- Review the full text of the Credit Agreement (to be filed in the 2017 Form 10-K) for complete details on exceptions and definitions.
