Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On January 29, 2020, Socket Mobile (“we” or the “Company”) entered into an Amended and Restated Business Financing Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) with Western Alliance Bank, an Arizona corporation (“Lender”). Among other things, the Financing Agreement increases the Domestic Line of Credit to $3.0 million that includes $2.0 million revolving facility and $1.0 million nonformula loan (the “Nonformula Loan”). The $1.0 million Nonformula loan was enrolled in the CalCAP Collateral Support Program and advanced at closing. The Company will make a principal reduction payment of $125,000, plus all accrued but unpaid interest on the 30th day of each April, July, October, and January. The Financing Agreement also extends the maturity date of both Domestic and EXIM Line of Credit to January 31, 2023. The original Financing Agreement was dated February 27, 2014 with subsequent modifications dated February 26, 2016, March 20, 2017, January 31, 2018, June 4, 2018, July 30, 2018, June 14, 2019, January 8, 2020, and August 28, 2020.

 

The Financing Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict our ability to, among other things, grant liens, make investments, incur indebtedness, merge or consolidate, dispose of assets, make acquisitions, pay dividends or make distributions, repurchase stock, enter into transactions with affiliates and enter into restrictive agreements, in each case subject to customary exceptions for a credit facility of this size and type. We are also required to maintain revenue and adjusted EBITDA at a minimum of 75% of the projections as approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, measured quarterly.

 

The Financing Agreement also contains customary events of default including, among others, payment defaults, breaches of covenants, bankruptcy and insolvency events, cross defaults with certain material indebtedness, judgment defaults, and breaches of representations and warranties. Upon an event of default, Lender may declare all or a portion of our outstanding obligations payable to be immediately due and payable and exercise other rights and remedies provided for under the Financing Agreement.

 

The foregoing description of the Financing Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Business Financing Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
