Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 1, 2021, Unique Logistics International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), Unique Logistics Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), Unique Logistics International (NYC), LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“New York”), Unique Logistics International (BOS), Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (“Boston” and, together with the Company, Holdings and New York, collectively, “Seller”), entered into a Revolving Purchase, Loan and Security Agreement (the “TBK Agreement”) dated as of June 1, 2021, with TBK BANK, SSB, a Texas State Savings Bank (“Purchaser”), for a facility under which Purchaser will, from time to time, buy approved receivables from the Seller. The TBK Agreement provides for Seller to have access to the lesser of (i) $30 million (“Maximum Facility”) and (ii) the Formula Amount (as defined in the TBK Agreement) at an interest rate of the highest prime rate (but in no event less than 3.25%) plus 3%.
Upon receipt of any advance, Seller agreed to sell and assign all of its rights in accounts receivables and all proceeds thereof. Seller granted to Purchaser a continuing ownership interest in the accounts purchased under the Agreement (the “Purchased Accounts”) and, secured and as collateral security for all Obligations (as defined below), Seller granted to Purchaser a continuing first priority security interest in all of Seller’s assets. Notwithstanding the creation of this security interest, the relationship of the parties with respect to all Purchased Accounts is that of Purchaser and Seller and not that of lender and borrower. “Obligations” means present and future monetary and non-monetary obligations arising under or related to or in connection with the TBK Agreement, whether arising thereunder or otherwise, and whether arising before, during or after the commencement of any bankruptcy case in which Seller is a debtor.
The facility is for an initial term of twenty-four (24) months (the “Term”) and may be extended or renewed, unless terminated in accordance with the TBK Agreement. Notwithstanding any termination of the TBK Agreement or expiration or termination of the Term, the liabilities and obligations of Seller thereunder and the security interests granted to Purchaser thereunder shall continue in full force and effect until (a) cash payment in full to Purchaser of all obligations on terms and conditions acceptable to Purchaser, and (b) receipt by Purchaser of a general release executed by Seller and delivered to Purchaser. Purchaser may terminate the TBK Agreement by giving Seller not less than thirty-day’s (30) prior written notice of termination, whereupon the TBK Agreement shall terminate on the earlier date of the date of termination or the end of the then current Term.
The TBK Agreement replaces the Company’s prior agreement with Corefund Capital, LLC (“Core”) entered into on May 29, 2020, pursuant to which Core agreed to purchase from the Company up to an aggregate of $25,000,000 of accounts receivables (the “Core Facility”). The Core Facility provided Core with security interests in purchased accounts until the accounts have been repurchased by the Company or paid by the customer. As of June 1, 2021, the Core Facility has been terminated along with all security interests granted to Core and replaced with the TBK Agreement.
The foregoing summary of the TBK Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the TBK Agreement, a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.
