Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 12, 2021, DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. (the “Company”), as borrower, entered into a loan agreement governing a C$25.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with the Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”), as lender, and DIRTT Environmental Solutions, Inc. (“DIRTT U.S.”), as borrower, (the “New RBC Facility”), replacing and superseding the Company’s existing cash-flow-based credit facility with RBC (the “Previous RBC Facility”).

Under the New RBC Facility, the Company may borrow up to (i) a maximum of 90% of investment grade or insured accounts receivable plus 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus (ii) the lesser of (I) 75% of the book value of eligible inventory and (II) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory less (iii) any reserves for potential prior ranking claims (the “Borrowing Base”). As at December 31, 2020, available borrowings under the New RBC Facility would have been C$9.3 million ($7.3 million based on an exchange rate of C$1.2732 = $1.00).

The New RBC Facility bears interest at either (i) the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 30 basis points, or (ii) the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate or LIBOR plus 155 basis points. The New RBC Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s real property located in Canada and the United States.

The New RBC Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including but not limited to those governing indebtedness liens, fundamental changes, and restricted payments. The New RBC Facility also provides that the Company is subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio (“FCCR”) covenant of 1.10:1 on a trailing twelve-month basis, if the Borrowing Base less any loan advances or letters of credit or guarantee and if undrawn including unrestricted cash (the “Aggregate Excess Availability”), is less than C$5.0 million. Additionally, if the FCCR has been above 1.10:1 for the three immediately consecutive months, the Company is required to maintain a reserve account equal to the aggregate of one-year of payments on each of the C$5.0 million equipment leasing facility in Canada and the $14.0 million equipment leasing facility in the United States (the “Leasing Facilities”). The Company anticipates not meeting the three-month FCCR requirement for the end of the first quarter of 2021, which would result in the restriction of $1.1 million of cash, being one-year payments on the Leasing Facilities.

Should an event of default occur or the Aggregate Excess Availability be less than C$6.25 million for five consecutive business days, the Company would enter a cash dominion period whereby the Company’s bank accounts would be blocked by RBC and daily balances will set-off any borrowings and any remaining amounts made available to the Company.

The agreement governing the New RBC Facility is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, and the terms and conditions thereof are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the New RBC Facility is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.
