Item
1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
September 5, 2017, Strong/MDI Screen Systems Inc. (the “Borrower”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ballantyne Strong,
Inc., entered into a demand credit agreement with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (the “Lender”). The credit
agreement consists of a revolving line of credit in an aggregate principal amount of CDN$3.5 million (approximately USD$2.8 million),
subject to a borrowing base requirement (the “Line of Credit”), and two installment loans in the aggregate principal
amount of CDN$6.5 million (approximately USD$5.2 million), one in the amount of CDN$6.0 million (approximately USD$4.8 million)
and one in the amount of CDN$500,000 (approximately USD$400,000) (each, an “Installment Loan,” and together with the
Line of Credit, the “Credit Facilities”). As of the date of this filing, the Borrower has not drawn any amounts under
the Credit Facilities.
Amounts
outstanding under the Line of Credit will bear interest at the prime rate set by the Lender, with interest payable monthly and
the outstanding principal amount payable on demand by the Lender.
Each
Installment Loan will bear interest at the prime rate plus 0.50% and will be payable in consecutive equal monthly installments,
plus accrued interest, over a period of 20 years for the CDN$6.0 million Installment Loan and over a period of five years for
the CDN$500,000 Installment Loan. The Lender may also demand repayment of a Term Loan at any time. The Borrower is permitted to
prepay all or part of a Term Loan at any time without notice or penalty, provided the Borrower is not in default on the loan.
The
Credit Facilities are secured by a lien on the Borrower’s Quebec, Canada facility and substantially all of the assets of
the Borrower.
The
Credit Facilities contain customary covenants, including as to compliance with laws (including environmental laws), delivery of
quarterly and annual financial statements, maintenance of insurance, restrictions on the use of loan proceeds (with all proceeds
from the Line of Credit to be used for the Borrower’s business operations, all proceeds from the CDN$6.0 million Term Loan
to be used for the financing of the Borrower’s Quebec, Canada facility and all proceeds from the CDN$500,000 Term Loan to
be used for the financing of equipment) and other customary covenants. The Borrower is also required to comply during the term
of the Credit Facilities with the following financial covenants, to be measured quarterly:
|
●
|
Total
Liabilities to Effective Equity Ratio
: The Borrower is required to maintain a ratio of total liabilities to “effective
equity” (tangible shareholders’ equity, less amounts receivable from affiliates and equity method investments,
plus all postponed debt) not in excess of 2:1.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Current
Ratio
: The Borrower is required to maintain a current ratio (current assets, excluding amounts due from related parties,
divided by current liabilities) of not less than 1.50:1.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Minimum
Effective Equity
: The Borrower is required to maintain minimum effective equity (as defined above) of not less than CDN$8
million (approximately USD$6.4 million).
|
The
Credit Facilities contain customary events of default and remedies for credit facilities of this nature.
The
foregoing description of the Credit Facilities does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the Credit Agreement, executed as of September 5, 2017, by and between the Borrower and the Lender, filed as Exhibit 10.1
to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
