Item 1.01.
|
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On October 25, 2011, Chromcraft Revington, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an asset-based lending relationship with First Business Capital Corp. (the “Lender”) in accordance with a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) between the Lender and the Company. The Lender is an affiliate of First Business Bank. The new credit facility with the Lender replaces the Company’s credit facility with Bank of America, N.A.
Under the Loan Agreement, the Lender has agreed to provide the Company with a revolving credit facility up to a maximum amount of $10 million (including letters of credit) based upon qualified accounts receivable of the Company. The new credit facility will expire on October 31, 2014 and, unless either the Company or the Lender provides the other with timely prior written notice of its intent to terminate, the Loan Agreement will automatically renew for successive one-year periods. All advances under the credit facility must be used for working capital and other corporate purposes.
The maximum amount available under the new credit facility was reduced from $25 million to $10 million in order to better reflect what the Company believes its projected bank borrowing needs will be for the next three years and to reduce unused credit facility fees.
The Loan Agreement provides that advances under the credit facility will bear interest at the greater of the one-year LIBOR rate or .75%, plus a margin of 4.75%. In addition, the Loan Agreement requires the Company to pay unused credit facility and other fees and expenses to the Lender. Obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory, machinery, equipment, deposit accounts, real estate and general intangibles. CR International, Inc., which is a subsidiary of the Company, also guaranties the Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement.
The Loan Agreement contains representations and warranties as well as affirmative and negative covenants of the Company. The covenants include, but are not limited to, minimum net worth and net earnings (loss) requirements and restrictions or limitations on other indebtedness, capital expenditures, dividends, distributions, recapitalizations of the Company’s corporate structure, repurchases of any equity interests of the Company, sales of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business), acquisitions of other businesses and amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws.
The Loan Agreement also contains events of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Lender may terminate its commitment to make advances under the credit facility, declare all amounts then outstanding under the credit facility to be immediately due and payable, charge a default rate of interest and exercise any other rights and remedies that the Lender may have.
The foregoing is only a summary of the Loan Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Loan Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.24 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
