Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

The information set forth below under Item 1.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the Term Sheet (as defined below) is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 1.03. Bankruptcy or Receivership.

 

As previously disclosed, on May 27, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), Tuesday Morning Corporation (the “Company”) and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Chapter 11 Cases are being administered jointly under the caption “In re: Tuesday Morning Corporation, et. al., Case No. 20-31476-HDH-11.” The Debtors will continue to operate their businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

On June 3, 2020, the Debtors entered into a term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) with BRF Finance Co., LLC (“BRF Finance”), pursuant to which, and subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions, including the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, BRF Finance would agree to provide a debtor-in-possession delayed draw term loan facility in an amount not to exceed $25 million (the “DIP Term Facility”) secured by the owned real estate of the Debtors (the “Real Estate Assets”). Under the terms of the Term Sheet, the closing and initial extension of credit under the DIP Term Facility (which initial extension of credit is not to exceed $10 million) will be subject to satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including execution and delivery of definitive loan documentation, entry of an interim order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing the DIP Term Facility, receipt by BRF Finance of certain financial and tax information with respect to the Debtors, including a cash flow budget (the “Budget”), and receipt by BRF Finance of certain real estate appraisals and title reports with respect to the Real Estate Assets. Thereafter and so long as a final order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing the DIP Term Facility has been entered and is in full force and effect, the Debtors would be entitled to make additional borrowings under the DIP Term Facility in minimum increments of $2.5 million subject to the satisfaction of certain additional conditions, including absence of defaults under the DIP Term Facility, delivery of notices of borrowing and the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Debtor, in the definitive loan documentation for the DIP Term Facility.

 

Pursuant to the Term Sheet, proceeds of borrowings under the DIP Term Facility would be used by the Debtors to: (1) repay obligations of the Debtors under (a) the Senior Secured Super Priority Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (the “DIP ABL Credit Agreement”) among the Debtors, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, for itself and the other lenders party thereto, and (b) the Credit Agreement, dated August 18, 2015 and as previously amended, among the Debtors, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing bank, and the lenders party thereto; (2) fund general working capital; and (3) fund operational expenses and restructuring expenses of the Debtors, in each case, to the extent permitted by the applicable orders of the Bankruptcy Court, the Budget and the definitive loan documents for the DIP Term Facility.

 

The DIP Term Facility is expected to include conditions precedent, representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default customary for financings of this type and size, but in all events consistent with the terms of the DIP ABL Credit Agreement. The Debtors will be obligated to prepay amounts outstanding under the DIP Term Facility upon certain asset sales and casualty or condemnation events with respect to the Real Estate Assets.

Under the terms of the DIP ABL Credit Agreement and the Term Sheet, the lenders under the DIP ABL Credit Agreement will have a lien on the Real Estate Assets ranking junior to the rights of the lenders under the DIP Term Facility, with the lien priorities and enforcement rights with respect to the Real Estate Assets and the application of proceeds thereof to be governed by the terms of an intercreditor agreement.

 

The proposed DIP Term Facility would mature on the earliest of (1) the date that is 180 days after the Petition Date, (2) the date of consummation of a sale of all or substantially all assets of the Debtors, (3) the effective date of a plan of reorganization, or (4) the date the obligations of the Debtors under the DIP Term Facility are accelerated as a result of an event of default.

 

The foregoing summary of the proposed Real Estate DIP Facility is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Real Estate DIP Term Sheet, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein, and the terms of which are subject to Bankruptcy Court approval.

 

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

The information set forth above under Item 1.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the Term Sheet is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

As previously disclosed, on May 27, 2020, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying it that, as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases the Company’s common stock would be delisted from Nasdaq. On June 8, 2020, trading of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq was suspended, and the delisting will be effective 10 days after Nasdaq files a Form 25 with the SEC.

 

On June 8, 2020, the Company’s common stock began trading on the OTC Pink marketplace under the symbol “TUESQ”. The Company can provide no assurance that the Company’s common stock will continue to trade on this market, whether broker-dealers will continue to provide public quotes of the Company’s common stock on this market, whether the trading volume of the Company’s common stock will be sufficient to provide for an efficient trading market or whether quotes for the Company’s common stock will continue on this market in the future.

 

The transition to over-the-counter markets will not affect the Company’s business operations or its SEC reporting requirements.

 

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

The Company cautions that trading in the Company’s common stock during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company’s common stock may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders of the Company’s common stock in the Chapter 11 Cases.
