Business Context and Reporting Period
Company: Stabilis Solutions, Inc. (SLNG)
Filing Type: Form 8-K (Current Report)
Date of Report: June 29, 2026
Event: Entry into a Second Modification Agreement and Amendment to Other Loan Documents with The Huntington National Bank (successor to Cadence Bank).
Key Financial Metrics and Terms
- Upfront Fee Paid: $15,000 paid to the Bank in connection with the agreement.
- Cash Collateral Requirement: Establishment of a segregated, blocked deposit account funded with at least $5,000,000 as collateral security.
- Revolving Credit Facility Cap: Maximum availability capped at $10,000,000.
- Financial Covenant: Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.20 to 1.00 (tested on a trailing twelve-month basis).
- Covenant Commencement: Testing begins with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2027.
Material Changes and Restrictions
The filing details significant amendments to the Loan Agreement dated June 9, 2023. The primary material changes include:
- Liquidity Restriction: Until the Borrowers demonstrate compliance with the minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for two consecutive fiscal quarters (starting March 31, 2027), availability under the revolving credit facility is limited strictly to the amount on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account (subject to the $10,000,000 cap).
- Release Conditions: Upon meeting the two-quarter compliance requirement, the Cash Collateral Account will be terminated and released to the Borrowers, and availability will revert to being determined by the borrowing base.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: The filing does not provide forward-looking guidance or management commentary beyond the terms of the agreement. The full text of the Second Modification Agreement is intended to be filed as an exhibit to the Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2026.
Risks and Contingencies: The Company faces a liquidity constraint where access to credit is tied to the $5,000,000 cash deposit until specific financial performance metrics (Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio) are met for two consecutive quarters. Failure to meet these ratios would maintain the restriction on credit availability.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current balance in the Cash Collateral Account and confirm the $5,000,000 funding has been executed.
- Review the upcoming Form 10-Q (due for the quarter ending June 30, 2026) for the full text of the Second Modification Agreement.
- Monitor the Company's Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio performance for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2027, and June 30, 2027, to determine when credit availability restrictions will be lifted.
- Confirm the impact of the $15,000 upfront fee on the Company's immediate cash flow.
