Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

In September 2018, NTN Buzztime, Inc. (“we,” “us,” or “our”) entered into loan and security agreement with Avidbank (the “Original LSA”) under which we borrowed a $4,000,000 term loan. On March 12, 2020, we entered into an amendment to the Original LSA (as amended, the “LSA”). In connection with entering into the amendment, we made a $433,000 payment on our term loan, which includes the $83,333 monthly principal payment plus accrued interest for March 2020 and a $350,000 principal prepayment, thereby reducing the outstanding principal balance of our term loan to $2.0 million. Under the terms of the amendment, the minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, covenant in the Original LSA was replaced with a monthly minimum asset coverage ratio covenant, which we refer to as the ACR covenant, and the minimum liquidity covenant in the Original LSA was amended to provide that the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash we have in deposit accounts or securities accounts maintained with Avidbank must be at all times not less than the principal balance outstanding under our term loan. Under the ACR covenant, the ratio of (i) our unrestricted cash at Avidbank as of the last day of a calendar month plus 75% of our outstanding accounts receivable accounts that are within 90 days of invoice date to (ii) the outstanding principal balance of our term loan on such day must be no less than 1.25 to 1.00. The amendment also changed the maturity date of our term loan from September 28, 2022 to December 31, 2020, and commencing on April 30, 2020, we must make principal plus accrued interest payments on the last day of each month, such that all amounts owed under the LSA will be repaid by December 31, 2020. The principal payment we must make each month will be $125,000 for each of April, May and June, $300,000 for each of July, August, September, October and November, and $125,000 for December.

The foregoing summary of the material terms of the amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amendment, a copy of which is attached as an exhibit to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
