Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On November 6, 2020, Highlands REIT, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Third Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) that amends that certain Credit Agreement, dated February 15, 2019 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), by and between the Company, as borrower, and certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors, The Huntington National Bank, individually and as administrative agent, issuing lender, lead arranger, book manager and syndication agent, and the other lenders thereunder.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company did not expect to be in compliance with the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and the minimum consolidated tangible net worth covenants applicable under the Credit Agreement. As a result, the Third Amendment, among other things, (i) waived the Company’s obligation to comply with the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and the minimum consolidated tangible net worth covenants under the Credit Agreement for the period from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020, (ii) restricted the Company from drawing on the Revolving Credit Loan in amounts in excess of $20,000,000 until the Company is in compliance with all such covenants and (iii) prohibited the Company from making distributions during the period from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020, provided, that as long as no default under the Credit Agreement exists, the Company may purchase or redeem equity interests in the Company in an amount not to exceed $20,000,000. Additionally, because the Company no longer needed the Term Loan due to the Company’s capital resources and anticipated capital needs, the Company “right-sized” the credit facility under Credit Agreement by eliminating the Term Loan previously available under the Credit Agreement, and, in connection with the execution of the Third Amendment, the Company borrowed sufficient funds under the Revolving Credit Loan to repay all of its obligations under the Term Loan.

All capitalized terms used in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement. The description above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Third Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.


Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
