Vicon Industries Amends Credit Facility, Increasing Borrowing Availability

Vicon Industries, Inc. (NYSE MKT:VII), a global producer of end-to-end security solutions, announced that it has entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with NIL Funding Corporation, its secured lender.

Under the amended agreement, the Company can borrow up to $4 million under a sub-line of credit that is not subject to a borrowing base formula, and can borrow up to an additional $2 million to the extent it has sufficient “eligible” accounts receivable to support such borrowings. Prior to the amendment, $4 million of the $6 million credit facility was subject to a borrowing base formula. The amended credit agreement also extends the maturity date of the credit facility to April 2, 2019, and reduces the Company’s minimum tangible net worth requirement.

In connection with the amended agreement, NIL Funding was issued a three-year warrant to purchase 1.5 million shares of Vicon common stock at a price of $.40 per share.

NIL Funding Corporation is an affiliate of The InterTech Group, Inc., headquartered in South Carolina. The InterTech Group is a privately-held holding company and operator of a diverse and global group of companies.

The Company’s CEO, John Badke, commented: “We are very pleased to have secured these important amendments to our credit facility and welcome NIL Funding’s continuing support.”

The InterTech Group’s Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, Robert Johnston, commented: “InterTech has been a Vicon investor for many years now and believes that the Company is positioned to regain its technology edge and regrow its business. We are also excited about Vicon’s evolving technology focus and its long term business prospects.”

InterTech’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Julian A. Tiedemann, serves as the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors.
