Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 30, 2013, Guidance Software, Inc. (“the Company” “we,” “us” and “our”) entered into a Modification Agreement (the “Modification Agreement”) with Bank of the West (the “Lender”), to modify certain terms and conditions of the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) entered into between the parties on July 12, 2012. The Modification Agreement, among other things, requires the Company to provide the Lender notice when a litigation, arbitration or administrative proceeding claim exceeds $500,000.00 or affects the collateral described in the Loan Agreement. Additionally, the Modification Agreement requires the Company to maintain unrestricted cash and marketable securities in an amount of not less than $15,000,000.00, as measured at each fiscal quarter end, for the period commencing July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014, and $12,500,000.00 thereafter. Further, the Modification Agreement amends the requirement in the Loan Agreement that the Company shall not allow a year-to-date cumulative net loss of more than $5.0 million during any fiscal year such that the Company shall not allow a year-to-date cumulative net loss to exceed $11,800,000.00 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, $13,200,000.00 for the quarter ending December 31, 2013 and $5,000,000.00 for the quarter ending March 31, 2014, and each quarter thereafter.

The foregoing description of the Modification Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Modification Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
