Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 21, 2020, Taronis Fuels, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”) entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Tech Capital, LLC (the “Lender”). The Loan Agreement provides for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility of up to $10 million (the “Facility Commitment”), which the Borrowers may draw upon from time to time during the term of the Loan Agreement (the “Credit Facility”). The Borrowers intend to use the proceeds from loans under the Credit Facility for working capital and general business purposes.

 

The Loan Agreement has a basic term of 12 months, which will automatically renew for successive 12-month periods. However, the Borrowers may terminate the Loan Agreement at any time upon 30 days’ prior written notice to Lender. The Lender may terminate the Loan Agreement at any time upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Borrowers or immediately without prior written notice following an event of default that is not cured prior to the expiration of any cure period applicable to the same, if any.

 

Availability under the Credit Facility will be based upon periodic borrowing base calculations valuing certain of the Borrowers’ accounts receivable and inventory. Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility accrue interest, which shall be payable monthly based on the average daily outstanding balance, at a rate equal 2.75% plus the prime rate (as published in the Western Edition of the Wall Street Journal in effect from time to time) per annum, provided that such prime rate shall at all times be deemed to be not be less than 3.25% per annum. However, regardless of the rate and prime rate in effect and amount of outstanding borrowings, the minimum monthly interest payments required under the Loan Agreement shall be at least $10,000 (the “Minimum Monthly Interest”).

 

The Borrowers are required to pay to the Lender on the date of the Loan Agreement and each anniversary thereof while there remain outstanding amounts under the Credit Facility a loan fee in the amount of 1.0% of the maximum amount of credit available under the Credit Facility. The Borrowers may prepay all obligations under the Credit Facility at any time prior to the end of the basic term or any renewal term, provided that the Company would be required to pay an additional fee equal to the Minimum Monthly Interest multiplied by the number of months remaining in such initial or renewal term (the “Prepayment Fee”). In the event of Lender’s termination prior to the end of the basic term or any renewal term in the absence of an event of default, the Borrowers will not be required to pay the Prepayment Fee. The Borrowers are required to pay the Lender other fees, including a good faith deposit on the effective date of the Loan Agreement in the amount of $10,000 to be applied to various fees incurred by Lender in connection with the Loan Agreement and related documentation. The Company also agreed to issue the Lender post-closing a common stock warrant to purchase shares of its common stock, par value $0.000001, in an amount representing 10% of the Facility Commitment.

 

To secure all of Borrowers’ obligations under the Credit Facility, the Borrowers entered into a Security Agreement (All Assets) with Lender (the “Security Agreement”) pursuant to which the Borrowers granted to the Lender a first priority security interest in all of their assets, including its accounts receivable and inventory, and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary MagneGas IP, LLC (“MagneGas IP”), which holds all of the Company’s intellectual property assets, entered into an Intellectual Property Security Agreement with Lender (the “IP Security Agreement”) pursuant to which MagneGas IP granted to Lender a first priority security interest in all of its intellectual property assets. In addition, the Borrowers entered into a General Continuing Guaranty with Lender (the “Guaranty”) pursuant to which the Borrowers unconditionally jointly and severally guaranteed the obligations under the Credit Facility.

 

The Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants, such as financial statement reporting requirements, bi-weekly reports regarding accounts receivable and inventory and such other financial information reasonably requested by Lender. The Loan Agreement also contains customary negative covenants that limit the ability of the Borrowers and their subsidiaries to, among other things, merge into or consolidate with another entity, sell their assets other than in the ordinary course of their business, change their state of incorporation, guarantee or otherwise become liable for obligations of any third party, or grant or permit to exist any other security interest or lien in any of the Borrowers’ assets.

 

 

 

 

The Loan Agreement contains customary events of default, such as the failure to pay obligations when due, the Borrowers’ failure to perform its obligations under the Loan Agreement, initiation of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, making prohibited payments on subordinated indebtedness, and defaulting on material third party agreements. Upon an event of default, the Lender may, subject to certain rights of the Borrowers to cure, require the immediate payment of all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility. In addition, during the occurrence of an event of default, outstanding amounts shall bear interest at an additional 5.0% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise applicable.

 

The foregoing description of the terms of the Loan Agreement and Credit Facility, Security Agreement, IP Security Agreement, and Guaranty does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan Agreement, Security Agreement, IP Security Agreement, and Guaranty, copies of which is filed hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4, respectively, and are incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
