Section 2 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

ITEM 2.03.   CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF A REGISTRANT.

 

On October 24, 2011, Cagle’s, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Cagle’s Farms, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Debtor in Possession Credit and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”) with AgSouth Farm Credit, ACA, an agricultural credit association (the “Lender”).  The purpose of the Agreement is to provide the Company with interim financing in its bankruptcy proceeding in addition to the term loan and line of credit which the Lender has previously provided to the Company.  The parties continue to discuss additional credit.

 

The Agreement provides for a 90-day revolving line of credit, in addition to the Company’s preexisting loans, with a maximum amount of $6,500,000, at a floating rate equal to the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate plus 6.5 percent.  Interest is payable monthly.  The line of credit is secured by all the Company’s assets.

 

The Agreement provides for monthly financial statements and weekly compliance with budgets approved by the Lender.  In addition to customary defaults such as defaults in payment, performance of covenants or agreements under the loan documents or financing order, certain judgments or awards against the Company, and default under other post-petition indebtedness, defaults under the Agreement include primarily bankruptcy-related matters such as the following: suspension of business, sale of substantially all assets without Lender’s consent, filing a motion with the bankruptcy court to change the financing orders or any of the loan documents, filing a plan of reorganization without the Lender’s consent, filing of certain motions except as expressly permitted under financing orders or permitted liens, failure of the bankruptcy court to enter a final borrowing order within 30 days of the Agreement, appointment of a trustee or examiner, dismissal of the Company’s bankruptcy case or conversion to Chapter 7, entry of certain orders granting relief from the automatic stay, consolidation of the Company’s bankruptcy with any other person, failure to pay budgeted costs and expenses of bankruptcy, filing by the Company of pleadings challenging liens of Lender or enforceability of Lender’s loan documents or asserting claims against Lender, or exceeding budgeted expenses in any week by ten (10) percent.

 

In the event of default, Lender may declare all amounts forthwith due and payable in addition to exercising certain other rights including all rights available to a secured lender under the UCC.  After default, the interest rate will increase two (2) percentage points.
