Item 1.01.Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On July 10, 2014, the Senior Secured Loan and Security Agreement (the “Original Loan Agreement”) dated as of January 20, 2014 by and among Fischer Enterprises, L.L.C. (“Fischer”), Crumbs Holdings LLC (“Holdings”), Crumbs Bake Shop, Inc. (“Crumbs” and, together with Holdings, the “Company”), and the outstanding obligations under the Notes issued pursuant thereto (the “Original Notes”), were assigned by Fischer pursuant to an Assignment of Loan and Loan Documents (the “Assignment”) to Lemonis Fischer Acquisition Company, LLC (“Lemonis Fischer Acquisition”). In connection therewith, the Company and Lemonis Fischer Acquisition entered into a First Amendment to Senior Secured Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amendment”) and the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Note in favor of the Lemonis Fischer Acquisition (the “Amended Note”), each dated July 10, 2014.

 

The material terms of the Original Loan Agreement and the Original Notes, which are exhibits to the Assignment, and the documents delivered in connection therewith were summarized in Item 1.01 of Crumbs’ Current Report on Form 8-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 24, 2014 (the “January 24 Form 8-K”), which summaries are incorporated herein by reference. Copies of the Original Loan Agreement and Original Notes were filed as exhibits to the January 24 Form 8-K.

 

Pursuant to the Amendment, Lemonis Fischer Acquisition made an additional term loan to the Company in the original principal amount of $317,000 (the “Tranche III Loan”), which was disbursed in a single advance on July 10, 2014. The Amended Note is an amendment and restatement of Original Notes (the outstanding balances of which on July 10, 2014 were $3,603,736.11 and $1,593,509.19 respectively) and consolidated the debt of the Original Notes and the Tranche III Loan. The principal amount of the Amended Note is $5,514,245.30, which note will accrue interest at 7% per annum. All outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest will be due on October 8, 2014.

 

The Amendment also provided for a forbearance by Lemonis Fischer Acquisition of all existing Events of Default under the Original Loan Agreement, and an agreement to forbear so long as (i) the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) commence Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings (the “Bankruptcy Proceeding”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey (the “Bankruptcy Court”) on or before July 11, 2014, (ii) the Bankruptcy Court enters an order (the “DIP Order”) in the Bankruptcy Proceeding approving a debtor in possession loan by Lemonis Fischer Acquisition to the Debtors in an amount not to exceed $1,133,000, pursuant to a Superpriority Debtor-in-Possession Credit and Security Agreement (the “DIP Credit Agreement”) in form and substances satisfactory to Lemonis Fischer Acquisition on or before July 25, 2014 (the “Termination Date”), and (iii) execution and delivery by the Debtors to Lemonis Fischer Acquisition of the DIP Credit Agreement and related security agreements pursuant to the DIP Order on or before the Termination Date.

 

 
 

 

The foregoing information is intended only as a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Original Loan Agreement and the Amendment, the Assignment and the Amended Note. The Company has filed copies of the Amendment, Assignment and Amended Note as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, to this report to provide investors with information regarding its terms. Investors should not rely on the agreements or other terms contained in the Loan Agreement (or in its exhibits), the Amendment, Assignment or Amended Note or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company, Lemonis Fischer Acquisition or any other person. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the agreements and other terms may change after the date hereof, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures by the Company.

 

Item 1.03.Bankruptcy or Receivership.

 

On July 11, 2014, the Company and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries commenced the Bankruptcy Proceeding by filing voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are not included in the filing. The filing of the petitions places an automatic stay that restrains most actions that a creditor could commence or continue against the Company or the filing subsidiaries and their assets, under applicable bankruptcy law, without the permission of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

After extensively exploring alternatives, following thorough consultation with its legal and financial advisors, the Company’s Board of Directors determined that an orderly sale of the Company’s assets through a Chapter 11 process is the most prudent and effective means of maximizing value for the Company’s stakeholders. The bankruptcy petitions are part of ongoing actions taken by the Company to restructure its business, and attempt to preserve the value of the Company for its stakeholders.

 

Concurrent with the commencement of the Bankruptcy Proceeding, Lemonis Fischer Acquisition as a stalking horse bidder entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated July 11, 2014 (the “APA”), with the Company pursuant to which Lemonis Fischer Acquisition will acquire substantially all the assets of the Company. The purchase price to be paid under the APA for the Company’s assets shall consist of (i) a credit bid of the amounts outstanding under the DIP Credit Agreement and the Original Loan Agreement and the Amendment, and (ii) the assumption by Lemonis Fischer Acquisition of certain liabilities of the Company. The purchase of the Company’s assets by Lemonis Fischer Acquisition under the APA is subject to higher or better offers that may be received by the Company pursuant to an auction process being conducted in the Bankruptcy Proceeding under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

 

Item 3.01.      Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

On July 10, 2014, The NASDAQ Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) filed a Form 25 NSE with the Securities and Exchange Commission removing the common stock from listing and registration on Nasdaq. As previously disclosed by the Company, Nasdaq notified the Company that it would be suspending the trading of the common stock effective at the opening of business on July 1, 2014. The Company’s common stock was delisted from Nasdaq as a result of the Company’s failure to meet the standards for listing as set for in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5500(b). Since its delisting from Nasdaq, the Company’s units, warrants and common stock have been quoted on the OTC Pink Marketplace under the trading symbols “CRMBU”, “CRMBW” and “CRMB”, respectively.
