11. Line of Credit and Term Loan | The purposes of the BMO Loan are (1) to refinance and replace the facilities under the A&R Credit Agreement, thus terminating that agreement as of March 12, 2018, (2) to refinance $2,250,000 of a promissory note held by Michael McMillan (the “McMillan Seller Note”), (3) to finance payments to Dr. Michael Hernandez (f/k/a Dr. Michael G. Mathews), including the full repayment of a promissory note held by Hernandez (the “Hernandez Seller Note”; together with the McMillan Seller Note, the “Seller Notes”) in the original principal amount of $4,500,000, also issued as part of the Original SPA (as defined below), (4) to finance working capital, (5) for general corporate purposes and (6) to fund certain fees and expenses associated with the closing of the BMO Loan. Loan Facilities Term Loan: Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Bank agreed to provide a term loan in the amount of $17,250,000 to the Company, which was paid in accordance with the purpose of the BMO Loan as described above. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company may elect that the term loan be outstanding as Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans. The term loan is payable in principal payment installments on the last day of each fiscal quarter, commencing on June 30, 2018. All principal and interest not sooner paid on the term loan shall be due and payable on September 12, 2022, the final maturity thereof. As of September 30, 2018, outstanding borrowings under the term loan were $16,017,857 at an interest rate of 5.64%. Revolving Line of Credit: Additionally, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Bank agreed to provide a revolving loan or loans to the Company in an aggregate amount of up to $5,000,000 with a $500,000 sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company may elect that each borrowing of revolving loans be either Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans. Each revolving loan, both for principal and interest then outstanding, shall mature and be due and payable on March 12, 2020, or such earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is terminated in whole pursuant to the Credit Agreement. Beginning June 30, 2018, we are required to maintain certain financial covenants in connection with the Credit Agreement, including a total leverage ratio, a senior leverage ratio, and a fixed charge coverage ratio. These covenants contain ratios which change over relevant periods of the Credit Agreement and can be found in Section 7.13 of the Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all of the Credit Agreement’s financial covenants. Interest Rates Base rate loans (“Base Rate Loans”) bear interest at an annual rate equal to the base rate (defined as the highest of (a) the rate of interest quoted in The Wall Street Journal, Money Rates Section as the prime rate in effect on such day, with any change in the Base Rate resulting from a change in such prime rate to be effective as of the date of the relevant change in such prime rate, (b) the sum of (i) the rate determined by the Bank to be the average of the rates per annum quoted to the Bank by two or more Federal funds brokers selected by the Bank for sale to the Bank at face value of Federal funds in the secondary market in an amount equal or comparable to the principal amount for which such rate is being determined, plus (ii) 1/2 of 1%, and (c) the overnight LIBOR rate plus 1.0%) plus an applicable margin of between 1.50% and 2.50%, depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio. Eurodollar loans (“Eurodollar Loans”) bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Adjusted LIBOR rate (defined as the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the LIBOR index rate by (b) the maximum reserve percentage, expressed as a decimal, at which reserves are imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) on “eurocurrency liabilities,” as defined in such Board’s Regulation D (or any successor thereto), subject to any amendments of such reserve requirement by such Board or its successor, taking into account any transitional adjustments thereto) plus an applicable margin of between 2.50% and 3.50%, depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio. There were no borrowings on the BMO line of credit for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we paid $37,638 in revolving loan commitment fees associated with the line of credit. Interest charges associated with the BMO term loan totaled $234,989 and $521,785 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. In addition, in March 2018, we paid a $86,250 commitment fee associated with the term loan. Further, pursuant to the Separation Agreement, in lieu of any earn-out payments (as described in the Original SPA (as defined below)) that could be earned by Hernandez under the Original SPA, the Company agreed to pay Hernandez the amount of $3,750,000 in the form of a promissory note (the “Earn-out Note”). The Earn-out Note provides for (i) a maturity date of March 12, 2023, at which all principal and accrued and unpaid interest is due, (ii) a simple interest rate of 5% per annum commencing on January 1, 2018, and compounding annually, and (iii) the right of the Company to prepay all or any portion of the Earn-out Note without premium or penalty. As a result, the Company recorded an additional accrual of $1,394,000 at December 31, 2017 related to the earn-out contingent liability. Also pursuant to the Separation Agreement, the Company paid off the outstanding amount due under the Hernandez Seller Note and paid Hernandez a severance payment consisting of a $250,000 payment upon execution of the Separation Agreement and the delivery of a promissory note in the original principal amount of $343,750 (the “Severance Payment Note”). The Severance Payment Note bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum, compounds annually, allows for prepayment by the Company and matures on January 10, 2019, at which time all principal and accrued and unpaid interest is due. Amounts due and owing under the Earn-out Note and Severance Payment Note are subordinate to the right of payment due under the BMO Loan pursuant to a Subordination Agreement among the Company, the Bank and Hernandez. Amendment to CTEK Security, Inc. (formerly CynergisTek, Inc.) Stock Purchase Agreement; Amended and Restated Promissory Note On March 12, 2018, the Company, CTEK Security and McMillan entered into an Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement (“Amendment”). Pursuant to the Amendment, certain provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of January 13, 2017 which memorialized the acquisition of CTEK Security, Inc. (formerly CynergisTek, Inc.) (the “Original SPA”) related to the Earn-Out (as defined in the Original SPA and described in the Company’s Form 8-K dated January 13, 2017) were amended. The earn-out provisions were amended to remove all obligations to make earn-out payments to Hernandez. As to McMillan, the Amendment modified the maximum earn-out payment which could be earned by McMillan to $1,200,000, with a maximum of $400,000 per year based on revised performance metrics (rather than the benchmarks described in the Original SPA) during the 2018, 2019 and 2020 calendar years, as determined by the Company’s board of directors and/or a committee thereof. On March 12, 2018, the Company repaid $2,250,000 plus accrued interest on the McMillan Seller Note. The Company and Mr. McMillan agreed to amend and restate the McMillan Seller Note pursuant to an Amended and Restated Promissory Note (the “A&R McMillan Seller Note”). The A&R McMillan Seller Note is in the principal amount of $2,250,000, bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum, provides for quarterly payments of principal and interest and matures on March 31, 2022. Amounts due and owing under the A&R McMillan Seller Note are subordinate to the right of payment due under the BMO Loan pursuant to a Subordination Agreement among the Company, the Bank and Mr. McMillan. Mr. McMillan is a director and the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. |
