Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Credit Agreement with American AgCredit, PCA

 

On July 13, 2017, Royal Hawaiian Orchards, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), Royal Hawaiian Services, LLC, a Hawaii limited liability company (“RHS”), and Royal Hawaiian Macadamia Nut, Inc., a Hawaii corporation (“RHMN”), executed the Seventh Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Seventh Amendment”) with the Partnership’s existing lender American AgCredit, PCA.

 

As a result, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement among the Partnership, RHS, and RHMN, as borrowers, and American AgCredit, PCA, for itself, as a lender, and as agent for all lenders, dated as of March 27, 2015, as amended (the “Amended PCA Credit Agreement”), was amended as follows:

 

 

(i)

all references to the 2010 Term Loan and 2015 Bridge Loan (as previously defined in the Amended PCA Credit Agreement) were deleted because those loans have been repaid and are no longer outstanding;

 

 

(ii)

the maturity date of the Revolving Loan (as defined in the Amended PCA Credit Agreement) was extended for three years from July 15, 2017 to July 15, 2020;

 

 

(iii)

the Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Amended PCA Credit Agreement) was changed from a minimum $2,500,000 on the last day of each fiscal quarter to (A) $2,000,000 for the quarter ending June 30, 2017, (B) $2,250,000 for the quarter ending September 30, 2017, (C) $2,750,000 for the quarters ending December 31, 2017, March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018, and September 30, 2018, and (D) $3,000,000 for the quarters ending December 31, 2018 and thereafter; and

 

 

(iv)

the Consolidated Tangible Net Worth (as defined in the Amended PCA Credit Agreement), as of the last day of any fiscal year beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, shall not be less than $49,000,000 minus (i) the aggregate amount of Tax Distributions (as defined in the Amended PCA Credit Agreement) made on or after January 1, 2017; and plus (ii) the aggregate amount of positive Consolidated Net Income (as defined in the Amended PCA Credit Agreement) (but not reduced if Consolidated Net Income in any fiscal year is negative) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017 and for each fiscal year thereafter.

 

The foregoing description of the Seventh Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Seventh Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
