Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On August 6, 2014, Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. (the “Company”) and Regions Bank entered into a new Business Loan Agreement (the “Business Loan Agreement”), under which the Company was provided a renewed revolving line of credit.  Under the renewed revolving line of credit, the Company may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $6 million or (ii) a borrowing base equal to 80% of eligible accounts receivable (as defined in the Business Loan Agreement) plus 50% of eligible inventory (as defined in the Business Loan Agreement).  Interest on amounts borrowed under the revolving line of credit is payable monthly at the 30 day LIBOR rate plus 1.65% per annum (unless the Company’s debt service coverage ratio (generally, net operating profit plus depreciation, amortization and lease/rent expense divided by current maturities of long-term debt plus interest and lease/rent expense, calculated on a trailing twelve month basis) falls to or below 2.0 to 1, in which case interest is payable at the 30 day LIBOR rate plus 2.65% per annum).
 
Outstanding amounts under the revolving line of credit are payable on demand.  If no demand is made, the Company may repay and reborrow funds from time to time until expiration of the revolving line of credit on August 4, 2016, at which time all outstanding principal and interest will be due and payable. The Company’s obligations under the revolving line of credit are secured by among other things, the Company’s accounts receivable, inventory and real property and equipment at the Montgomery, Alabama facility of the Company’s Kinpak, Inc. subsidiary.  The Credit Agreement includes financial covenants requiring a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.75 to 1.00, tested on a trailing twelve month basis, and a maximum debt to capitalization ratio (generally, funded debt divided by the sum of total net worth and funded debt) of 0.75 to 1, tested quarterly.  The line of credit is subject to several events of default, including a decline in the majority shareholder’s ownership below 50% of all outstanding shares.
