Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement;
On October 21, 2010, Astrotech Space Operations, Inc. (“ASO”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Astrotech Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a $10.0 million Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), with American Bank, N.A. (the “Lender”). The Company and Astrotech Florida Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of ASO, are also parties to the Loan Agreement.
The Loan Agreement includes a $7.0 million term loan note (the “Term Loan”) and a $3.0 million revolving credit note (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Term Loan is payable to ASO in a single advance in the amount of $7.0 million. ASO is required to make monthly principal and interest payments on the Term Loan to the Lender, with the remaining principal due on October 21, 2015. The Revolving Credit Facility is payable to ASO in multiple advances not to exceed $3.0 million, based on eligible accounts receivable, and expires on October 21, 2012. The variable interest rate on both the Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility is the greater of (i) 0.25% in excess of the bank prime rate, and (ii) 4.0%.
The Loan Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of ASO, requires ASO to comply with certain debt service ratio covenants, leverage ratio covenants and maintain a minimum tangible net worth. Additionally, the Company provided a guaranty to the Lender as security for the obligations of ASO under the Loan Agreement. Upon an event of default, the payment obligations under the Loan Agreement may be accelerated and the assets pledged as collateral may be foreclosed.
The foregoing description of the Loan Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Loan Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1.
