Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
|
As previously disclosed in the press release of Revolution Lighting Technologies, Inc. (the Company) issued on October 19, 2018 and in its
amended Current Report on Form
8-K/A
filed on November 13, 2018 (the November 13th Form
8-K),
Robert V. LaPenta, Sr., the Companys Chairman and
CEO, has funded and has informed the Company that he intends to continue to fund the Company through continued periodic loans to the extent consistent with what he believes to be the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
On November 15, 2018, the Company entered into a promissory note with Mr. LaPenta (the Note), pursuant to which he lent the Company an
additional $1 million. The Note was part of the $2.5 million in expected additional loans from Mr. LaPenta disclosed in the November 13th Form
8-K.
The Audit Committee of the Companys Board of Directors approved the terms of the Note on November 14, 2018. Subject to specified exceptions,
amounts outstanding under the Note bear interest from the date of advance at a rate per annum equal to
one-month
LIBOR plus 3.75%, calculated on the basis of a
360-day
year and the actual number of days elapsed. The principal and interest are payable upon maturity. The Note matures on July 20, 2020. If Mr. LaPenta makes additional short-term advances to the Company that are not repaid within 90 days, the
Note may be amended in the Companys discretion to include the amount of any such advances.
The Note contains customary events of default, including
nonpayment of principal or interest when due; assignment without consent of the lender; or the occurrence of certain bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation-related events. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, any outstanding amounts under the
Note may be accelerated; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of certain bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation-related events of default, all amounts payable under the Note will automatically become immediately due and payable. The Note does
not contain financial or restrictive covenants.
As previously disclosed in the November 13th Form
8-K,
the
Company continues to work with its existing bank lender to restructure its debt.
The foregoing description of the Note is not complete and is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Note, which is attached to this Form
8-K
as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.01.
|
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
|
On November 15, 2018, the Company received a notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market (Nasdaq) informing the
Company that since it has not yet filed its Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q
for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2018 (the Quarterly Report), the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq
Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the Listing Rule). The Listing Rule requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Nasdaq notification letter
specifies that the Company has 60 calendar days, or until January 14, 2019, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Listing Rule. If Nasdaq accepts a plan from the Company, Nasdaq can grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from
the Quarterly Reports due date, or until May 8, 2019, to regain compliance. The Companys common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market pending Nasdaqs review of the Companys plan to regain compliance.
As previously disclosed in the Companys Form
12b-25
filed on
November 13, 2018, the Companys Audit Committee is conducting a review to assess the accuracy of the Companys previously filed financial statements, the current focus of which is to review the extent to which the Company incorrectly
recognized revenue with respect to bill and hold transactions from 2014 until the second quarter of fiscal 2018, and whether the Companys accounting for those transactions led to material errors in its financial statements. While the Audit
Committee review is ongoing, the Company will not be able to provide financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2018. The Company continues to work diligently to finalize the Audit Committee review. The Company intends to
submit a plan to regain compliance with the Listing Rule prior to January 14, 2019 and to file the Quarterly Report with the SEC as soon as possible.
On November 19, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing its receipt of the Nasdaq notification letter. A copy of the press release is
attached as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Forward-looking statements
Except for statements of historical fact, the matters discussed herein are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the applicable
securities laws and regulations. The words estimates, expects, believes and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these
identifying words. Forward-looking statements, including statements regarding when the Audit Committee will complete its review, when the Company will submit its plan to Nasdaq, when the Company will file its Quarterly Report and whether the Company
will regain compliance with Nasdaqs continued listing requirements, involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those stated here. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the ability of the parties to reach an agreement as to the debt restructuring, Mr. LaPentas continued willingness to provide the Company with funding, the risk that
additional information may arise in the process of completing the Audit Committees review or in a review or audit of any revised financial statements that would require the Company to make additional or different adjustments, the time required
to complete any restatement of the Companys financial statements, the risk that Nasdaq will not approve the Companys plan to regain compliance with the Listing Rule, and the other risks described more fully in the Companys filings
with the SEC. Forward-looking statements reflect the views of the Companys management as of the date hereof. The Company does not undertake to revise these statements to reflect subsequent developments.
