On February 28, 2013, the Company, along with its subsidiary, Summer Infant (USA), Inc., entered into a new loan and security agreement with Bank of America, N.A. to provide an $80,000, asset-based revolving credit facility (as subsequently amended on November 8, 2013, the “BofA Agreement”).

BofA Agreement |
|
The BofA Agreement provides for an $80,000, asset-based revolving credit facility, with a $10,000 letter of credit sub-line facility. The total borrowing capacity is based on a borrowing base, which is defined as 85% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of (i) 70% of the value of eligible inventory or (ii) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory, less reserves. |
|
The scheduled maturity date of loans under the BofA Agreement is February 28, 2018, subject to customary early termination provisions. All obligations under the BofA Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, subject to a first priority lien on certain assets held by the lender of the Term Loan as described below. In addition, Summer Infant Canada Limited and Summer Infant Europe Limited, the Company’s subsidiaries, are guarantors under the BofA Agreement. Proceeds from the loans under the BofA Agreement were used to satisfy existing debt, pay fees and transaction expenses associated with the closing of the BofA Agreement, pay obligations under the prior BofA Agreement, and were used to make payments on the Term Loan and for other general corporate purposes, including working capital. |
|
Loans under the BofA Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a base rate or at LIBOR, plus applicable margins based on average quarterly availability under the BofA Agreement and ranging between 1.75% and 2.25% on LIBOR borrowings and 0.25% and 0.75% on base rate borrowings. Interest payments are due monthly, payable in arrears. The Company is also required to pay an annual non-use fee of 0.375% of the unused amounts under the BofA Agreement, as well as other customary fees as are set forth in the BofA Agreement. As of April 4, 2015, the base rate on loans was 4.0% and the LIBOR rate was 2.5%. |
|
Under the BofA Agreement, the Company is required to comply with certain financial covenants. Prior to the execution of an amendment to the BofA Agreement on November 8, 2013, the Company was required, (i) for the first year of the loan, to maintain and earn a specified minimum, monthly consolidated EBITDA amount, as defined, in the BofA Agreement (“Bank EBITDA”), with such specified amounts increasing over the first twelve months of the loan to a minimum consolidated Bank EBITDA of $12,000 at February 28, 2014, and (ii) beginning with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2014, was to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0 for each period of four fiscal quarters most recently ended. For purposes of the financial covenants, consolidated Bank EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, plus certain customary expenses, fees and non-cash charges and minus certain customary non-cash items increasing net income. |
|
On November 8, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment to the BofA Agreement (the “BofA Amendment”). The BofA Amendment amended the financial covenants in the BofA Agreement to provide that (i) the Company was no longer required to comply with the prior minimum Bank EBITDA covenants for any period ending after September 30, 2013 and (ii) the Company must maintain a trailing twelve month fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0, tested on a monthly basis, from and after September 30, 2013. On December 12, 2014, the BofA agreement was further amended to reflect the Company’s change in fiscal year. |
|
The BofA Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants. Among other restrictions, the Company is restricted in its ability to incur additional debt, make acquisitions or investments, dispose of assets, or make distributions unless in each case certain conditions are satisfied. The BofA Agreement also contains customary events of default, including a cross default with the Term Loan, the occurrence of a material adverse event and the occurrence of a change of control. In the event of a default, all of the Company’s obligations and the obligations of its subsidiaries under the BofA Agreement may be declared immediately due and payable. For certain events of default relating to insolvency and receivership, all outstanding obligations would become due and payable. |
|
The amount outstanding on the BofA Agreement at April 4, 2015 was $43,737. Total borrowing capacity under the BofA Agreement at April 4, 2015 was $55,642 and borrowing availability was $11,905. |

Term Loan |
|
On February 28, 2013, the Company, along with its subsidiary, Summer Infant (USA), Inc., as borrowers, entered into a term-loan agreement (as subsequently amended on November 8, 2013, the “Term Loan Agreement”) with Salus Capital Partners, LLC for a $15,000 term-loan (as subsequently amended, the “Term Loan”). On April 21, 2015, the Company repaid the Term Loan in full in connection with the amendment and restatement of the BofA Agreement. See Note 7. Subsequent Events. |
|
Proceeds from the Term Loan were used to repay certain existing debt, and to finance the acquisition of working capital assets in the ordinary course of business, capital expenditures, and for other general corporate purposes. The Term Loan is secured by certain of the Company’s assets, including a first priority lien on intellectual property, plant, property and equipment, and a pledge of 65% of the ownership interests in certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Term Loan matures on February 28, 2018. In addition, Summer Infant Canada Limited and Summer Infant Europe Limited, the Company’s subsidiaries, are guarantors under the Term Loan Agreement. |
|
The principal of the Term Loan is being repaid, on a quarterly basis, in installments of $375, commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 2013, until paid in full on termination. The Term Loan bears interest at an annual rate equal to LIBOR, plus 10%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.25%. Interest payments are due monthly, in arrears. As of April 4, 2015, the interest rate on the Term Loan was 11.25%. |
|
The Term Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants substantially the same as the BofA Agreement described above. In addition, prior to the execution of an amendment to the Term Loan Agreement on November 8, 2013, the Company was required to comply with certain financial covenants, including that the Company (i) meet the same minimum, monthly consolidated Bank EBITDA as set forth in the BofA Agreement and (ii) initially maintain a monthly senior leverage ratio of 1:1. For periods after February 28, 2014, the senior leverage ratio will be based on an annual business plan to be approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and will be tested monthly on a trailing twelve month basis. For purposes of the financial covenants in the Term Loan Agreement, the senior leverage ratio was defined as the ratio of (1) all amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement and the BofA Agreement to (2) consolidated Bank EBITDA for the twelve-month period ending as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal month. The Term Loan Agreement also contains events of default, including a cross default with the BofA Agreement, the occurrence of a material adverse event, the occurrence of a change of control, and the recall of products having a value of $2,000 or more. In the event of a default, all of the Company’s obligations and the obligations of its subsidiaries under the Term Loan Agreement may be declared immediately due and payable. For certain events of default relating to insolvency and receivership, all outstanding obligations would become due and payable. |
