Subsequent Events
 
Credit Facility
On November 17, 2016, the Company entered into another amendment to its Revised Loan Agreement with its lender. This amendment included the following:
 
waived the Company’s non-compliance with its minimum quarterly FCCR for the third quarter of 2016;
 
further revised the methodology to be used in calculating the FCCR as follows (with continue maintenance of a minimum 1:15:1 ratio in each of the quarters): FCCR for the fourth quarter of 2016 is to be calculated using the financial results for the three months period ending December 31, 2016; FCCR for first quarter of 2017 is to be calculated using financial results for the six months period ending March 31, 2017; FCCR for second quarter of 2017 is to be calculated using the financial results for the nine months period ending June 30, 2017; and FCCR for the third quarter of 2017 and each fiscal quarters thereafter is to be calculated using the financial results for a trailing twelve months period basis;
 
placed an immediate additional restriction on the Company’s borrowing availability by $750,000, in addition to the restriction on our borrowing availability of $500,000 which had been previously placed by our lender; and
 
revised the interest payment options to paying an annual rate of interest due on the Revolving Credit at prime plus 2% or LIBOR plus 3% and the Term Loan at Prime plus 2.5% or LIBOR plus 3.5%. Such interest payment option will automatically revert back to interest payment options as revised on the March 24, 2016 amendment (see the March 24, 2016 amendment the Company entered into with PNC in “Note 7 – Long Term Debt”) if the Company is able to attain minimally a FCCR of 1:15:1, as calculated using a trailing twelve months period, subsequent to any quarters after the third quarter of 2016.
 
Pursuant to this amendment, the Company’s lender has also established a “Condition Subsequent” which requires the Company to receive restricted cash released from a finite risk sinking fund by December 31, 2016, in connection with our Perma-Fix Northwest Richland, Inc. (“PFNWR”) closure policy as discussed below. Immediately upon the receipt of funds, the Company’s lender will immediately place another $750,000 restriction on the Company’s borrowing availability resulting in a total of $2,000,000 restriction on the Company’s borrowing availability. In the event the finite risk sinking fund is not received by the Company by December 31, 2016, the Company and its lender will enter into discussions of possible further amendments to the Revised Loan Agreement.
 
All other terms of the Revised Loan Agreement remain principally unchanged. In connection with this amendment, the Company agreed to pay its lender a fee of $25,000.
 
Closure Policy
As discussed in “Note 8 – Commitment and Contingencies- Insurance,” the Company has a closure policy for our PFNWR facility with AIG (“PFNWR policy”) which provides financial assurance to the state of Washington in the event of closure of the PFNWR facility. As of September 30, 2016, our financial coverage under this policy stands at approximately $7,973,000 and this policy is collateralized by a finite risk sinking fund in the amount of approximately $5,900,000 which is recorded in other long term assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company is currently working on other options in providing financial assurance coverage for our PFNWR facility, including acquiring a separate bonding mechanism which would enable the Company to cancel the PFNWR policy, thereby allowing for the release of any of the funds not required to collateralize the new PFNWR closure mechanism. The acceptance of a new mechanism for financial assurance for our PFNWR facility is subject to final approval by Washington state authorities and the release of such finite risk sinking fund is subject to approval by AIG.
 
Perma-Fix Medical
On October 11, 2016, the Company, Perma-Fix Medical S.A and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Perma-Fix Medical Corporation (Perma-Fix Medical S.A. and Perma-Fix Medical Corporation (“PFM Corporation” – a Delaware corporation) are together known as PF Medical) entered into a letter of intent (“LOI”) with a private investor, subject to certain closing and other conditions, including, but not limited to, the execution of a definitive agreement within 90 days of the LOI, for the purchase of $10,000,000 of Preferred Shares in PFM Corporation at a price of $8.00 per share. PF Medical S.A. is a Polish majority-owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon closing, the Preferred Shares of PFM Corporation would be voting securities and allow the investor to own approximately 48.6% of PFM Corporation’s issued and outstanding voting securities as of the closing. The LOI also provides that at closing, subject to certain terms and conditions, the investor would also receive a 36-month warrant to purchase three quarters (.75) of one share of PFM Corporation’s common stock for each share of Preferred Stock purchased by the investor at closing at an exercise price of $9.00 for each three quarters of one share. In addition, at closing, the Company would receive a 36 month warrant, subject to certain terms and conditions, to purchase up to 183,606 shares of PFM Corporation’s common stock at an exercise price of $14.00 per share. Further, under the terms of the LOI, the Company would be repaid $500,000 of the amounts owed to it by PF Medical within 30 days after closing and the balance within 120 days after the closing.
