The information set forth below under Item 2.03 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

 

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

We have previously reported that at June 30, 2015, we were not in compliance with certain financial covenants set forth in our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, as administrative agent, and that we anticipated entering into an amendment of the credit agreement that would reinstate our compliance with all applicable financial covenants. On October 13, 2015, we completed the execution and delivery of an amendment of the credit agreement, effective as of September 30, 2015.

 

Among other changes, the amendment:

 

 

·

memorializes our use of proceeds from equity issuances of $3.4 million to reduce indebtedness under the credit agreement,

 

 

 

 

·

waives our prior covenant default,

 

 

 

 

·

waives all term debt amortization until March 31, 2017, on which date a $1.5 million principal payment will be required,

 

 

 

 

·

adds a minimum asset coverage ratio to be tested quarterly, revises the maximum total leverage ratio to a quarterly minimum EBITDA test commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2015, and modifies the fixed charge coverage ratio to be tested quarterly commencing with the first quarter of 2016,

 

 

 

 

·

adds an excess cash flow sweep on a quarterly basis commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2015,

 

 

 

 

·

reduces the size of the revolving credit facility under the credit agreement from $5.0 million to $1.0 million and eliminates the $1.0 million letter of credit and $1.0 million swing line credit facilities which were formerly part of the revolving facility,

 

 

 

 

·

requires the payment of an amendment fee equal to 25 basis points of the outstanding bank indebtedness (after giving effect to the reduction of indebtedness as of the effective date of the amendment)

 

 

 

 

·

institutes a ticking fee of $150,000 to be earned each quarter but not due and payable until the maturity or earlier repayment of the facility (with a partial waiver of the fee to the extent that the facility can be refinanced prior to the final maturity date)

  

A copy of the amendment is filed as Exhibit 4.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

We have previously reported that, on June 24, 2015, the Company commenced a private offering to accredited investors of 1,562,500 shares of its common stock at a price of $3.20 per share and that as of August 14, 2015, subscription agreements in excess of the minimum offering had been received by the Company but had not yet been accepted. Effective September 30, 2015, we accepted these subscriptions and applied the proceeds to the reduction of our indebtedness under the credit agreement. The issuance and sale of the shares was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Regulation S and Section 4(2) of such statute.

 

On October 19, 2015, we issued a press release regarding the developments described in this Current Report on Form 8-K.
