Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 21, 2018, Cardlytics, Inc. (the “Company”) and Pacific Western Bank (the “Lender”) entered into a Loan and Security Agreement relating to a $30.0 million asset-based revolving line of credit and a $20.0 million term loan (the “New Loan Agreement” and, the facility provided thereunder, the “New Loan Facility”). The maturity date of the New Loan Facility is May 21, 2020.
On May 21, 2018, the Company used the entire $20.0 million in proceeds from the term loan and an advance of $27.4 million under the revolving line of credit to repay all outstanding obligations under (1) the existing Loan and Security Agreement by and among the Company, Ally Bank and Pacific Western Bank, dated September 16, 2016, as amended from time to time prior to the date hereof (the “Existing Senior Loan Agreement”), and (2) the existing Credit Agreement by and among the Company, Columbia Partners, L.L.C. Investment Management and National Electrical Benefit Fund, dated July 21, 2016, as amended from time to time prior to the date hereof (the “Existing Subordinated Credit Agreement”). The aggregate amount repaid under the Existing Senior Loan Agreement was $13.1 million and the aggregate amount repaid under the Existing Subordinated Credit Agreement was $34.3 million. Upon payment of all of the outstanding amounts thereunder, both the Existing Senior Loan Agreement and the Existing Subordinated Credit Agreement were terminated.
Under the terms of the New Loan Agreement relating to the revolving line of credit, the Company is able to borrow up to the lesser of $30.0 million or 85% of the amount of its eligible accounts receivable. Interest on advances under the revolving line of credit varies depending on the amount of unrestricted cash deposits the Company maintains with the Lender and ranges from the prime rate to the prime rate minus 0.75%. As of May 21, 2018, the indicative rate for advances on the revolving line of credit was the prime rate minus 0.75%, or 4%. In addition, the Company is required to pay an unused line fee of 0.15% per annum on the average daily unused amount of the $30.0 million revolving commitment. The Company is also required to pay the Lender a one-time success fee of $75,000 in the event that the Company achieves a trailing twelve month revenue of $200.0 million or more at the end of any month after the closing date of the New Loan Facility. Interest will accrue on the term loan at an annual rate of interest equal to the prime rate minus 2.75%, or 2% as of May 21, 2018.
All of the Company’s obligations under the New Loan Agreement are also secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets. Under the terms of the New Loan Agreement, the Company is required to deposit $20.0 million in a blocked account in favor of the Lender as additional security for the Company’s payment obligations. The New Loan Agreement contains a moving minimum trailing twelve month revenue covenant, which was $124.5 million for the period ended April 30, 2018. The New Loan Agreement also requires the Company to maintain a total cash balance plus liquidity under the revolving line of credit of not less than $5.0 million.
The New Loan Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants (affirmative and negative), including restrictive covenants that include restrictions on mergers, acquisitions and dispositions of assets, incurrence of indebtedness and encumbrances on the Company’s assets and restrictions on payments of dividends; in each case subject to specified exceptions.
The New Loan Agreement also includes standard events of default, including in the event of a material adverse change. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Lender may declare all outstanding obligations immediately due and payable and take such other actions as are set forth in the New Loan Agreement and increase the interest rate otherwise applicable to the term loan or advances under the revolving line of credit by an additional 5.00%.
The foregoing description of the New Loan Agreement is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the New Loan Agreement, a copy of which the Company intends to file as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.
