Section 1 Registrants Business and Operations
Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Fourth Amendment to Loan Agreement with BMO
As previously disclosed, on July 25, 2008, Lighting Science Group Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the Company), entered into that certain Loan Authorization Agreement (the Loan Agreement) and Demand Note with the Bank of Montreal (BMO), pursuant to which BMO established a revolving line of credit for the Company. The Company and BMO subsequently entered into various amendments to the Loan Agreement and the Company executed a replacement Demand Note, which reduced the size of the revolving line of credit with BMO to $10 million and extended its maturity date to April 19, 2011 in the event that BMO does not make prior written demand.
On July 9, 2010, the Company and BMO entered into that certain Fifth Amendment to Bank of Montreal Loan Authorization Agreement (the Fifth Amendment), and the Company executed that certain Replacement Demand Note (the Replacement Note). The Fifth Amendment and the Replacement Note decreased the size of the Companys revolving line of credit with BMO from $10 million to $2 million. On the same date and in connection with the Fifth Amendment and the Replacement Note, Pegasus Partners IV, L.P. (Pegasus IV) executed a Guarantors Acknowledgement and Consent (the Guaranty Consent) pursuant to which Pegasus IV acknowledged its guaranty of the Companys obligations pursuant to the Loan Agreement, as amended by the Fifth Amendment.
Amendment to Guaranty Extension Agreement
The Loan Agreement is guaranteed by Pegasus IV in accordance with that certain Guaranty Agreement dated as of July 25, 2008, which was decreased and extended in conjunction with the amendments to the Loan Agreement (the Guaranty). In conjunction with the third amendment to the Loan Agreement, on March 15, 2010, the Company and Pegasus IV entered into that certain Amended and Restated Guaranty Extension Agreement (the Guaranty Extension Agreement), pursuant to which Pegasus IV agreed to continue to guarantee the Loan Agreement in exchange for, among other things, a guarantee fee.
On July 9, 2010, in conjunction with the execution of the Fifth Amendment, the Company and Pegasus IV entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Guaranty Extension Agreement (the Guaranty Amendment). Pursuant to the Guaranty Amendment, the Company agreed to issue 88,102 units of its securities (Units) to Pegasus IV in satisfaction of the accrued portion of the guaranty fee payable pursuant to the Guaranty Extension Agreement, which totaled $88,630 as of July 9, 2010. Each Unit consists of: (a) one share of the Companys Series D Non-Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and (b) one warrant (collectively, the Warrants) entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of the Companys common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Warrants are immediately exercisable with an exercise price of $6.00 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment, and have a term of 12 years.
Pursuant to the Guaranty Extension Agreement, as amended by the Guaranty Amendment, the Company is required to pay Pegasus IV a fee (the Guaranty Fee), payable upon the earliest to occur of: (a) the maturity date of the Loan Agreement, (b) the date of termination of the Loan Agreement, (c) the date of termination of the Guaranty and (d) a change of control of the Company (each of (a), (b), (c) and (d), the Fee Payment Date). The Guaranty Fee is payable solely in Units, and Pegasus IV will be entitled to receive one Unit for each $1.006 of the Guaranty Fee. The Guaranty Fee will be equal to the sum of:
(i) | 10% (on an annualized basis beginning on the first calendar day immediately following the effective date of the Fifth Amendment) of the Companys average daily loan balance with BMO, plus |
(ii) | 10% (on an annualized basis) of the maximum amount of loans available pursuant to the Loan Agreement (as amended pursuant to the Fifth Amendment) from the period beginning on August 19, 2010 and ending on the Fee Payment Date (this portion (ii) of the Guaranty Fee is referred to as the Maximum Loan Fee). If the Guaranty is terminated on or before August 18, 2010, the Maximum Loan Fee would be equal to $0.00. |
Pegasus IV is the Companys largest stockholder and beneficially owned approximately 88.6% of the Companys common stock as of June 23, 2010 (calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).
