Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Junior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes

 

On December 16, 2015, Determine, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Junior Secured Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Lloyd I. Miller, III, the Company’s largest stockholder, and MILFAM II L.P., the Lloyd I. Miller Trust A-4 and Alliance Semiconductor Corporation, a Delaware corporation, each an affiliate of Mr. Miller (collectively the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold junior secured convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) to the Investors in the aggregate principal amount of $2.5 million.

 

The Notes are due on December 16, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”) and accrue interest at an annual rate of 8% on the aggregate unconverted and outstanding principal amount, payable quarterly, beginning on December 31, 2015. The Company has the option to pay any amounts of interest due under the Notes by converting such interest into shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”), at a conversion price of $3.75 per share (as may be adjusted for any subdivision by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or similar event occurring prior to such record date, or as may be adjusted as further described below), based upon an interest rate amount calculated at 10% per year, provided that the Company is not then under default under the Notes, the Purchase Agreement, the Security Agreement (as defined below) or the Subordination Agreement (as defined below) (collectively, the “Loan Documents”) and that the Company provides prior written notice thereof to the Investors at least 10 days in advance of the payment date. Upon any default under the Notes or any other Loan Document, the Notes will bear interest at the rate of 13% per year or, if less, the maximum rate allowable under the laws of the State of New York.

 

The following events constitute an event of default under the Notes: (i) failure to pay when due any obligations under the Notes, (ii) any representation or warranty of the Company under the Loan Documents being untrue in any material respect as of the date made, (iii) any breach by the Company of any covenant in the Loan Documents, after a cure period, (iv) any default under the Company’s senior credit facility with Western Alliance Bank (“Bank”) that is not cured or waived by Bank, (v) an assignment for the benefit of creditors, the admission in writing by the Company of the inability to pay its debts as they become due, and other events related to a voluntary or involuntary petition for bankruptcy, (vi) a material judgment or judgments are rendered against the Company, (vii) the seizure, levy or application of a writ or distress warrant on a material portion of the Company’s assets after a cure period, (viii) a material loss or destruction of Company assets for which there is less than 80% insurance coverage or (ix) the occurrence of any event that results in, or will likely result in, a material adverse effect on the assets, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise), business, or prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or on the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents, after a cure period.

 

Subject to applicable NASDAQ listing rule limitations (including, if applicable, approval by the Company’s stockholders), the outstanding principal and interest under the Notes may be converted into shares of Common Stock at the sole option of the Investors at any time prior to the Maturity Date, at a conversion price of $3.75 per share (as may be adjusted for any subdivision by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or similar event occurring prior to such record date); provided, however, that if prior to the Maturity Date the Company offers and sells share of its Common Stock in a private placement primarily intended to raise capital at a price per share of $3.25 or less, then the conversion price for the notes will be reduced to such Common Stock offering price plus $0.50 per share. However, the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued to the Investors upon conversion of the Notes may not exceed 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock as of December 16, 2015.

 

The Notes may be prepaid or called by the Company prior to the Maturity Date. If the closing bid price for the Company’s Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as may be adjusted for any subdivision by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or similar event occurring prior to such record date) for ten trading days in any fifteen trading-day period, the outstanding principal and interest under the Notes may be converted into shares of Common Stock at the sole option of the Company at the then-current conversion price.

 

 
 

 

  

If stockholder approval of the issuance of the Notes is required under applicable NASDAQ listing rules in order for the Company to issue shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes, including in connection with the 19.99% “blocker” provision described above, the Company is obligated to call one or more meetings of the stockholders for purposes of such approval.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed not to incur any indebtedness for borrowed money in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate other than the indebtedness under the Notes, under the senior credit facility (up to a maximum amount of $13.5 million), or in connection with a purchase money security interest or trade debt arising in the ordinary course. Subject to certain exceptions, the Company also agrees not to incur any liens on any of its property or assets.

 

Additionally, under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company and certain of the Investors, who hold Junior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes issued by the Company on March 11, 2015 in the aggregate principal amount of $3 million (the “Prior Notes”), agreed to amend the maturity date of the Prior Notes from March 11, 2020, to December 16, 2020, to align with the Maturity Date of the new Notes.

 

The Notes and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company is obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission not later than 45 days after the date of issuance of the Notes, registering for resale the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes.

 

The summary set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement and form of Note filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which are incorporated by reference herein.

 

Security Agreement and Subordination Agreement

 

The Notes are secured by a second-position security interest on the Company’s assets, pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Security Agreement entered into by the Company and the Investors on December 16, 2015 (the “Security Agreement”). Under the terms of the Security Agreement, the Company also agrees to grant the Investors a security interest in the Company’s subsidiaries, upon written demand from Mr. Miller at any time after the Company’s senior credit facility has been fully paid and all obligations of Bank to lend thereunder have been terminated. The Company agrees not to allow its assets to be subject to any liens or encumbrances during the term of the Security Agreement, other than certain permitted liens, including the security interests held by Bank with respect to the senior credit facility.

 

Under the terms of the Security Agreement, the Investors’ security interest is subordinated only to the senior security interest of Bank under the senior credit facility, pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement entered into by the Company, the Investors and Bank on December 16, 2015 (the “Subordination Agreement”).

 

The summary set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Security Agreement and Subordination Agreement filed as Exhibits 10.3 and 10.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which are incorporated by reference herein.
