Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Revolution Lighting Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) on November 26, 2018, Robert V. LaPenta, Sr., the Company’s Chairman, CEO and President, and his affiliate, Aston Capital, LLC (“Aston”), have funded the Company through continued periodic loans, and the Company has issued a consolidated note, dated as of November 21, 2018, to Mr. LaPenta and Aston (the “Consolidated Note”) to reflect these loans made to the Company. As disclosed on subsequent Current Reports on Form 8-K, from time to time since the issuance of the Consolidated Note, Mr. La Penta has made additional loans to the Company on terms substantially identical to those contained in the Consolidated Note.

On April 12, 2019, Mr. LaPenta loaned the Company an additional $1.5 million, and the Company issued to Mr. LaPenta a new promissory note (the “Note”) with an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 million. The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors ratified the terms of the Note on April 14, 2019.

As of April 15, 2019, the Company had total debt of approximately $72.1 million, including approximately $48.4 million in aggregate principal and interest under loans from Mr. LaPenta and Aston.

The terms of the Note are substantially identical to those contained in the Consolidated Note. The Note is scheduled to mature on July 20, 2020. Interest on the Note is payable on the first business day of each month, commencing on May 1, 2019, and is equal to the greater of (i) LIBOR plus 3.75% and (ii) 1% above the rate in effect at any time under the Company’s Loan and Security Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. The Note is secured by a lien on the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets and is guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries.

The Note contains customary events of default. 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 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.
