SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

MIPs

 

On January 17, 2019, the Company’s Compensation Committee and the Board approved individual MIP for the CEO, CFO, and EVP of Strategic Initiatives. Each MIP is effective January 1, 2019 and applicable for the year ended December 31, 2019. Each MIP provides guidelines for the calculation of annual cash incentive based compensation, subject to Compensation Committee oversight and modification. Each MIP awards cash compensation based on achievement of performance thresholds, with the amount of such compensation established as a percentage of the executive’s annual 2019 base salary on the approval date of the MIP. The potential target performance compensation ranges from 5% to 150% of the 2019 base salary for the CEO ($14,350 to $430,500), 5% to 100% of the 2019 base salary for the CFO ($11,762 to $235,231), and 5% to 100% of the 2019 base salary for the EVP of Strategic Initiatives ($11,449 to $228,985).

 

Grant of Options

 

On January 17, 2019 the Company’s Compensation Committee and the Board approved the grant of 105,000 ISOs from the 2017 Stock Option Plan to certain employees, which included our named executive officers as follows: 25,000 ISOs to our CEO, Mark Duff; 15,000 ISOs to our CFO, Ben Naccarato; and 15,000 ISOs to our EVP of Strategic Initiatives, Dr. Louis Centofanti. The ISOs granted were for a contractual term of six years with one-fifth vesting annually over a five year period. The exercise price of the ISO was $3.15 per share, which was equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant.

 

Stock Option to Consultant

 

As discussed in “Note 6 – Capital Stock, Stock Plans, Warrants, and Stock Based Compensation – Stock Options to Consultant”, the Company granted a NQSO to Robert Ferguson for the purchase of up to 100,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (“Ferguson Stock Option”) in connection with his work as a consultant to the Company’s TBI. The vesting of the Ferguson Stock Option is subject to the achievement of three separate milestones by certain date. On January 17, 2019, the Company’s Compensation Committee and Board approved an amendment to the Ferguson Stock Option whereby the vesting date for the second milestone was amended from “by January 27, 2019” to “by March 31, 2020.” All other terms of the Ferguson Stock Option remain unchanged.

  

Loan and Securities Purchase Agreement, Promissory Note and Subordination Agreement

 

On April 1, 2019, the Company completed a lending transaction with Robert Ferguson (the “Lender”), whereby the Company borrowed from the Lender the sum of $2,500,000 pursuant to the terms of a Loan and Security Purchase Agreement and promissory note (the “Loan”). The Lender is a shareholder of the Company. The Lender also currently serves as a consultant to the Company’s PFNWR subsidiary (see Note 17 - Related Party Transactions – Robert Ferguson” for further information). The proceeds from the Loan will be used for general working capital purposes. The Loan is unsecured, with a term of two years with interest payable at a fixed interest rate of 4.00% per annum. The Loan provides for monthly payments of accrued interest only during the first year of the Loan, with the first interest payment due May 1, 2019 and monthly payments of approximately $208,333 in principal plus accrued interest starting in the second year of the Loan. The Loan also allows for prepayment of principal payments over the term of the Loan without penalty. In connection with the above Loan, the Lender entered into a Subordination Agreement with our credit facility lender, whereby the Lender agreed to subordinate payment under the Loan, and agreed that the Loan will be junior in right of payment to the credit facility in the event of default or bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding by us. As consideration for us receiving the Loan, the Company issued a Warrant to the Lender to purchase up to 60,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.51, which was the closing bid price for a share of our Common Stock on NASDAQ.com immediately preceding the execution of the Loan and Warrant. The Warrant is exercisable six months from April 1, 2019 and expires on April 1, 2024. As further consideration for the Loan, the Company also will issue an aggregate 75,000 shares of our Common Stock to the Lender. The 75,000 shares of Common Stock and 60,000 Common Stock purchase warrant will be and was issued in a private placement that was exempt from registration under the Securities Act and bear a restrictive legend against resale except in a transaction registered under the Securities Act or in a transaction exempt from registration thereunder.

 

Upon default, the Lender will have the right to elect to receive in full and complete satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under the Loan either: (a) the cash amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal balance owing under the loan and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (the “Payoff Amount”) or (b) upon meeting certain conditions, the number of whole shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Payoff Shares”) determined by dividing the Payoff Amount by the dollar amount equal to the closing bid price of our Common Stock on the date immediately prior to the date of default, as reported or quoted on the primary nationally recognized exchange or automated quotation system on which our Common Stock is listed; provided however, that the dollar amount of such closing bid price shall not be less than $3.51, the closing bid price for our Common Stock as disclosed on NASDAQ.com immediately preceding the signing of this loan agreement.

 

If issued, the Payoff Shares will not be registered and the Lender will not be entitled to registration rights with respect to the Payoff Shares. The aggregate number of shares, warrant shares, and Payoff Shares that are or will be issued to the Lenderpursuant to the Loan, together with the aggregate shares of the Company’s Common Stock and other voting securities owned by the Lender as of the date of issuance of the Payoff Shares, shall not exceed the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to 14.9% of the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date immediately prior to the default, less the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned by the Lenderimmediately prior to the date of such default plus the number of shares of our Common Stock that may be acquired by the Lender under warrants and/or options outstanding immediately prior to the date of such default.

 

The Company is currently evaluating the accounting treatment of this transaction and the impact to our financial statements.

 

Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement

 

On March 29, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to its Revised Loan Agreement with its lender under the credit facility which provided the following:

 

  waived the Company’s failure to meet the minimum quarterly fixed charge coverage ratio (“FCCR”) requirement for the fourth quarter of 2018;
  waived the quarterly FCCR testing requirement for the first quarter of 2019;
  revised the methodology to be used in calculating the FCCR in each of the second and third quarters of 2019 (with continued requirement to maintain a minimum 1.15:1 ratio in each of the quarters);
  revised the minimum Tangible Adjusted Net Worth requirement (as defined in the Revised Loan Agreement) from $26,000,000 to $25,000,000;
  eliminated the LIBOR interest payment option of paying annual rate of interest due on our term loan and revolving credit until the Company becomes compliant with its FCCR requirement again. As a result of this amendment, the Company’s payment of annual rate of interest due on our term loan will be at prime plus 2.5% and prime plus 2.0% for our revolving credit;
  provided consent for the $2,500,000 loan that the Company entered into with Robert Ferguson as discussed above. The Company is not allowed to make any principal prepayment on this loan until it receives the restricted finite risk sinking funds held as collateral by AIG under our financial assurance policy. The Company expects to receive this restricted funds resulting from the closure of our M&EC facility (see “Note 1 – Description of Business and Basis of Presentation - Financial Position and Liquidity” for a discussion of this expected receipt); and
  revised the annual rate used to calculate the Facility Fee (as defined in the Revised Loan Agreement) (unused revolving credit line fee) from 0.250% to 0.375%.

 

Most of the other terms of the Revised Loan Agreement remain principally unchanged. In connection with this amendment, the Company paid its lender a fee of $20,000 (see “Note 10 – Long Term Debt – Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement” for a discussion of the Revised Loan Agreement prior to this amendment).
