On January 16, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), Precision Aerospace Components, Inc. (the “Company” or “Precision”) together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, Freundlich Supply Company, Inc. (“FSC”), Tiger-Tight Corp. (“TTC”), Aero-Missile Components, Inc. (“AMC”), and Creative Assembly Systems (“CAS”) (“Subsidiaries”), entered into definitive agreements with Precision Group Holdings LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (the “Holdings”) and C3 Capital Partners III, L.P. (“C3”) to effectuate a series of transactions to recapitalize the Company (the “Transactions”). The Transactions will be consummated in multiple closings, with the first closing having occurred on the Effective Date (“First Closing”) and the second closing to occur no less than 20 days but no more than 22 days after the Company completes certain required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘SEC”), as described below (“Second Closing”).

 

Upon consummation of the Transactions, the Company will have refinanced its existing debt, with C3 holding secured senior and subordinated notes totaling $9 million, and Holdings and C3 collectively owning 98.1% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, $0.001 par value, (the “Common Stock”). A summary of the material terms of these agreements (collectively referred to as “Transaction Agreements”) is included below.

 

Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On the Effective Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement) with C3, pursuant to which the Company and its Subsidiaries authorized the issuance and sale to C3 of (1) a Senior Secured Note issued by the Subsidiaries in the amount of $5,500,000.00 (“Note A”), (2) a Subordinated Secured Note issued by the Subsidiaries in the amount of $3,500,000.00 (“Note B”), and (3) 8 million shares of unregistered Common Stock for a loan from C3 equity to $9 million. In addition, for no additional consideration, the Company will issue an additional number of shares of unregistered Common Stock to C3 at the Second Closing that, together with the initial issuance of 8 million shares, will cause C3 to have received 8% of the total Common Stock of Precision after the Second Closing (collectively, the “Granted Equity”). In addition, the Company issued C3 shares of unregistered Common Stock pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (see below) (the “Purchased Equity”).The issuance and sale of the Granted Equity was a private placement exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Note A will accrue at 11% interest per annum, with 10% payable monthly and 1% accruing to the outstanding balance of Note A, payable at maturity. Note A has a Maturity Date of January 16, 2020. If Note A principal is prepaid from a recapitalization of outside capital, a prepayment penalty will apply on the following schedule: (1) 5% of the amount prepaid until the first anniversary of Note A, (2) 4% of the amount prepaid after the first anniversary until the second anniversary of Note A, (3) 3% of the amount prepaid after the second anniversary of Note A until the third anniversary of Note A, (4) 2% of the amount prepaid after third anniversary of Note A until the fourth anniversary of Note A, and (5) 1% of the amount prepaid after the fourth anniversary of Note A until the Maturity Date. Note A is secured against all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

 

Note B will accrue at 14% interest per annum. Note B has a Maturity Date of January 16, 2020. If Note B principal is prepaid from a recapitalization of outside capital, a prepayment penalty will apply on the following schedule: (1) 3% of the amount prepaid until the first anniversary of Note B, (2) 2% of the amount prepaid after the first anniversary until the second anniversary of Note B, and (3) 1% of the amount prepaid after the second anniversary of Note A until the third anniversary of Note B. Note B is secured against all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

 

On the Effective Date, the Company paid the full amounts due under that Loan and Security Agreement, originally dated as of May 25, 2012, as amended from time to time, among the Company and its Subsidiaries, the lenders from time to time a party to the Agreement, and Newstar Business Credit, LLC, as administrative agent.

Beginning in February 2015, the Company will pay 0.7% of its aggregate gross sales on the note until the note is repaid. Upon reaching certain target aggregate gross sale amounts during the calendar year 2015 or 2016, the Company will make a one-time payment of $130,000 for interest recoupment.

 

Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, so long as Note A remains outstanding, C3 will have the right to control the Company’s board of directors, which will be limited to no more than five (5) members during this time. Once Note A is paid in full and for so long as Note B remains outstanding, C3 will have the right to elect and control one (1) member seat of the Company’s board.

The put right may be exercised by C3 for all or a portion of the Common Stock at an agreed upon valuation of the Company.

 

The Securities Purchase Agreement also contains customary covenants, representations and warranties of the parties, including, among others, (1) the grant by the Company to C3 of a lienon all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (2) a pledge with respect to all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries to secure the obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (3) an unconditional and irrevocable guarantee by the Company of the performance of the obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (3) non-compete agreements with certain executive officers of the Company, and (4) the assignment to C3 ofkey-man life insurance policies for certain of the Company’s executive officers.
