Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 28, 2013, Internet America, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) and other related loan agreements and documents with Frost Bank (the “Bank”) creating a non-revolving acquisition credit facility (the “Acquisition Facility”) designed to provide the Company with an additional source of funding for the potential acquisition of internet companies.

 

The amount that may be borrowed under the Acquisition Facility is $2,000,000 (the “Loan Cap”). For each specific acquisition, the maximum amount that can be borrowed under the Acquisition Facility to fund such acquisition, subject to the Loan Cap, is the lesser of (i) 55% of the cost of such acquisition in the case of an acquisition that is partially paid for using seller financing that has a maturity of less than three years and (ii) 65% of the cost of such acquisition in the case of an acquisition that is partially paid for using seller financing that has a maturity of three years or more. The Acquisition Facility is currently set to terminate on April 25, 2015.

 

Each advance made by the Bank under the Acquisition Facility will be evidenced by the Company’s execution and delivery to the Bank of a separate promissory note (an “Acquisition Note”) that will (i) provide for a maturity of not more than three years and (ii) require equal monthly principal reduction payments, plus interest, to be made over the term of the Acquisition Note. Each Acquisition Note will bear interest at a fixed rate equal to (i) the then current index rate for one and one-half (1½) year to two (2) year loans established by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas plus (ii) four percent (4%).

 

There are two financial covenants in the Loan Agreement. The first covenant is to maintain a debt to tangible net worth ratio of less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00, to be tested as of the end of each fiscal quarter (where such ratio excludes the effects of subordinated debt). The second covenant is to maintain a cash flow to debt service ratio of greater than or equal to 2.0 to 1.0, to be calculated on a rolling four-quarter basis and tested as of the end of each fiscal quarter. Debt service is scheduled principal payments for such measurement period.

 

Indebtedness will be secured by a perfected, continuing security interest in favor of the Bank in all of the Company’s assets. Advances under the Acquisition Facility will be conditioned on, among other things, (i) all representations and warranties contained in the loan documents being true and correct as of the date of the advance request and (ii) there being no default under the Acquisition Facility at the time of, or as a result of, the advance request.

 

With each advance, the Company will be charged a loan processing fee equal to the greater of (i) $250 or (ii) one-tenth of one percent (0.10%) of the amount of the advance.

 

The foregoing description of the Loan Agreement and the Acquisition Facility is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Loan Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
