Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 12, 2016, Electro Scientific Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amendment”), which amends the Company’s Loan and Security Agreement dated March 20, 2015 (the “Loan Agreement”) between the Company and Silicon Valley Bank (“Bank”).

Following is a summary of changes made to the Loan Agreement under the Amendment. Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.

The dollar thresholds for the Non-Formula Period are reduced to $30,000,000.00 (from $65,000,000.00), and the Streamline Period and Off-Streamline Period are no longer relevant for determining the interest rate applicable to advances or to the Company’s compliance with covenants in the Loan Agreement, including financial covenants. Instead, for these purposes, the only relevant inquiry is whether the Company is in a Non-Formula Period or not.

Financial statements, reports and certificates required under subsections 6.2(a) - (e) of the Loan Agreement are now required on a monthly basis rather than on a weekly, monthly or quarterly basis depending on whether the Company was in a Non-Formula Period, Non-Borrowing Period, Streamline Period or Off-Streamline Period.

The Bank will no longer make advances to the Company that accrue interest at a rate calculated based on LIBOR. Instead, all advances will bear interest at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Margin.

The Prime Rate Margin is now (a) during any Non-Formula Period, zero percent (0.00%), and (b) during any other time, one half of one percent (0.50%). Under the Loan Agreement (prior to being amended by the amendment), the Prime Rate Margin was (a) during any Non-Formula Period or any Streamline Period, zero percent (0.00%), and (b) during any Off-Streamline Period, one half of one percent (0.50%).

The Unused Revolving Facility Fee is an amount equal to (i) during any Non-Formula Period or any Non-Borrowing Period, three tenths of one percent (0.30%) per annum, and (ii) at any other time, four tenths of one percent (0.40%) per annum, in each case, of the average unused portion of the Revolving Line. Under the Loan Agreement (prior to being amended by the Amendment), the Unused Revolving Facility Fee was (i) during any Non-Formula Period or any Non-Borrowing Period, three tenths of one percent (0.30%) per annum, (ii) during any Streamline Period, four tenths of one percent (0.40%) per annum, and (iii) during any Off-Streamline Period that is not a Non-Borrowing Period, one half of one percent (0.50%) per annum, in each case, of the average unused portion of the Revolving Line.

The Company is no longer required to comply with the financial covenant regarding Tangible Net Worth for any period ending after March 31, 2016.

Commencing with the month ended June 30, 2016, the Company must comply with two new financial covenants:

The Company must maintain a ratio of (a) Quick Assets (generally, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents plus net billed accounts receivable, determined according to GAAP) to (b) (i) Current Liabilities (which include all liabilities, whether or not current liabilities, to Bank) minus (ii) the current portion of Deferred Revenue of at least 1.25 to 1.00.

The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA losses for the trailing twelve month period then-ended may not exceed (i) for the first (1st) month and second (2nd) month of each calendar quarter, Fourteen Million Dollars ($14,000,000.00) and (ii) for the third (3rd) month of each calendar quarter, Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00).

The collateral monitoring fee of $3,500 per month is eliminated.

A copy of the Amendment is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
