Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As described in Item 1.03 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 16, 2014, Crumbs Holdings LLC (“Holdings”), Crumbs Bake Shop, Inc. (“Crumbs” and, together with Holdings, the “Company”), and certain of its subsidiaries commenced on July 11, 2014 Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings (the “Bankruptcy Proceeding”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey (the “Bankruptcy Court”). Concurrent with the commencement of the Bankruptcy Proceeding, Lemonis Fischer Acquisition Company, LLC (“Lemonis Fischer Acquisition”) as a stalking horse bidder entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated July 11, 2014 (the “APA”), with the Company pursuant to which Lemonis Fischer Acquisition will acquire substantially all the assets of the Company. Crumbs and its subsidiaries who commenced the Bankruptcy Proceeding are hereinafter referred to collectively, as the Debtors.
On July 16, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered an interim order (the Interim “DIP Order”) in the Bankruptcy Proceeding approving a debtor in possession loan by Lemonis Fischer Acquisition to the Debtors in an amount not to exceed $1,133,000, pursuant to a Superpriority Debtor-in-Possession Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of July 11. 2014 (the “DIP Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to the Interim Order, Lemonis Fischer Acquisition has made an initial advance of $200,000 to the Debtors under the DIP Credit Agreement. Subject to the terms of the DIP Credit Agreement, the balance of the funds available under the DIP Credit Agreement shall be available upon the entry of a final order by the Bankruptcy Court approving the DIP Credit Agreement.
The principal amounts outstanding under the DIP Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate of seven percent (7%) per annum. Loans outstanding under the DIP Credit Agreement will mature on the earlier of (i) September 8, 2014, (ii) the date of the closing of the sale of the Debtors’ assets pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, and (iii) an Event of Default under the DIP Credit Agreement.
The Debtors’ obligations under the DIP Credit Agreement are secured by a lien covering substantially all of the Debtors’ assets, rights and properties, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement. The DIP Credit Agreement provides that all obligations outstanding under the DIP Credit Agreement constitute administrative expenses in the Chapter 11 Cases, with administrative priority and senior secured status under Sections 364(c) of the Bankruptcy Code and, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement, have priority over any and all administrative expense claims, unsecured claims and costs and expenses in the Chapter 11 Cases. The DIP Credit Agreement provides for a carve-out (the “Carve-Out”) with respect to the unpaid fees of the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court and the United States Trustee (“UST”), and unpaid budgeted fees of professionals in the Bankruptcy Case subject to approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
The DIP Credit Agreement provides for affirmative and negative covenants, including affirmative covenants requiring the Debtors to provide financial information, budgets and other information to Lemonis Fischer Acquisition, and negative covenants restricting the Debtors’ ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, dispose of assets, make investments, or take certain other actions, in each ease except as permitted in the DIP Credit Agreement. The Debtors’ ability to borrow under the DIP Credit Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions precedent set forth herein.
The DIP Credit Agreement provides for certain customary events of default, including events of default resulting from non-payment of principal, interest or other amounts when due, material breaches of representations and warranties, breaches of covenants in the DIP Credit Agreement, conversion of the Bankruptcy Proceeding to a Chapter 7 case, the appointment of a trustee, an order lifting the automatic bankruptcy stay for amounts greater than $50,000 or entry of an order approving the sale of the Debtors assets to someone other than Lemonis Fischer Acquisition. Upon the existence of an event of default, upon five (5) business days’ notice to the Debtors, the UST and Bankruptcy Court, Lemonis Fischer Acquisition may declare all principal, interest and other amounts under the DIP Credit Agreement immediately due and payable, except that in the case of a payment default or the entry by the Bankruptcy Court of an order approving the sale of the Debtors’ assets to a party other than Lemonis Fischer Acquisition, the outstanding obligations under the DIP Credit Agreement shall be immediately due and payable without notice.
A copy of the DIP Credit Agreement is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The above description of the DIP Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the DIP Credit Agreement filed herewith.
