The Company agreed to pay PNC 0.5% of the total financing under the Loan Agreement if the Company pays off its obligations to its lender after July 31, 2024, to and including July 31, 2025. No early termination fee shall apply if the Company pays off its obligations under Loan Agreement after July 31, 2025.
On May 8, 2024, and November 12, 2024, the Company entered into amendments to its Loan Agreement with its lender which provided the following, among other things:
In connection with the amendments, the Company paid its lender fees totaling $37,500 which is being amortized over the remaining term of the Loan Agreement as interest expense-financing fees.
The Company’s Credit Facility under its Loan Agreement, as amended, with PNC contains certain financial covenants, along with customary representations and warranties. A breach of any of these financial covenants, unless waived by PNC, could result in a default under our Credit Facility allowing our lender to immediately require the repayment of all outstanding debt under our Credit Facility and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. The Company’s Loan Agreement, as amended, prohibits us from paying cash dividends on our Common Stock without prior approval from our lender. The Company was not required to perform testing of its FCCR requirement for the first, second and third quarters of 2024 pursuant to the amendments dated May 8, 2024, and November 12, 2024, to its Loan Agreement as discussed above. The Company was also not required to perform testing of its FCCR requirement for the fourth quarter of 2024 pursuant to the amendment dated March 11, 2025, to its Loan Agreement, as amended (See “Note 18 – Subsequent Events – Credit Facility” for a discussion of this amendment which removed the testing requirement of the FCCR for the fourth quarter of 2024, among other things). Otherwise, the Company met all of its other financial covenant requirements in each of the quarters in 2024.
