Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item
2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of
Assets
On March 16, 2021, AeroCentury Corp.
(the “Company”) sold its 100% percent membership
interest (the “LLC Interest”) in its Delaware limited
liability company special purpose subsidiary, ACY E-175 LLC, (the
“LLC”), which owned three Embraer E-175 Aircraft (the
“Leased Aircraft”) on lease to a U.S. regional airline.
The LLC was the sole obligor under refinancing debt for the Leased
Aircraft owed to Norddeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale, New York
Branch (“Nord”). The Nord debt was non-recourse to the
Company, but was secured by a pledge of the LLC Interest, as well
as a lien on the assets of the LLC, including the Leased
Aircraft. The sale was consummated pursuant to a Membership
Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Sale Agreement”),
between the Company and Drake Jet Leasing 10 LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (“Buyer”), and the purchase
price for the LLC Interest was US$26.5 million, paid in the form of
the Buyer’s assumption of the entire debt of approximately
$13.4 million owed to Nord by the LLC, and a cash payment by the
Buyer to the Company of approximately $13.1 million. The
purchase price was determined by negotiations among the Company and
the Buyer, following a Request for Proposal bid solicitation
process that the Company conducted for the assets. The
transfer of the LLC Interest was consented to by Nord, as secured
lender, and Nord released the Company from any remaining guaranty
obligations under Nord’s refinancing debt and interest swap
obligations owed by the LLC, pursuant to a Borrower Parent Transfer
Agreement between the Company, LLC, Buyer, Nord, Norddeutsche
Landesbank Girozentrale, as swap counterparty, and Wilmington Trust
Company, as security trustee (the “Nord
Agreement”).
The
Buyer is an affiliate of Drake Asset Management Jersey Limited
(“DAMJ”), which on October 30, 2020, purchased
approximately $87.9 million of indebtedness of the Company owing
under that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Loan and Security
Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2020 (the “Loan
Agreement”), which is secured by a first priority lien held
by DAMJ covering all of the Company’s aircraft portfolio
other than the Leased Aircraft and certain other assets
specifically excluded under the Loan Agreement from such lien
(collectively the "Excluded Assets"). Pursuant
to a Side Letter No. 1 between the Company, Buyer and UMB Bank,
N.A. (the “Security Agent”), the Company applied
approximately $11 million of the LLC Interest cash sales proceeds
toward repayment of the Company’s indebtedness to DAMJ under
the Loan Agreement, and the Company retained the remaining $2.1
million of cash sales proceeds.
Following the indirect disposition
of the Leased Aircraft by way of the sale of the LLC Interest, the
Company holds in its aircraft portfolio (i) ten aircraft that are
collateral for indebtedness owed to DAMJ; and (ii) two aircraft on
lease to Kenyan lesses that are Excluded
Assets.
The foregoing description of the
Sale Agreement, the Nord Agreement, and the Side Letter is intended
to be a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the copies of
these documents set forth as Exhibits to this
Report.
