| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Microphase Corporation (“Microphase”) and CSNK Working Capital Finance Corp. d/b/a Bay View Funding (“Bay View”), entered into a Factoring Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated November 6, 2017. The transaction closed December 1, 2017. Under the terms of the Agreement, Bay View will factor up to $750,000 of receivables at the rate of 1.1% for the first 30 day period and 0.4% per ten day period thereafter. There is a 0.5% facility fee and the term of the Agreement is 18 months. In connection with the Agreement, Microphase granted Bay View a security interest in certain assets. The repayment obligation of Microphase under the Agreement has been guaranteed by Microphase’s majority shareholder, Digital Power Corporation (“Digital Power”) pursuant to a General Continuing Guaranty (the “Guaranty”). The proceeds of advances under this Agreement were used to repay in full the revolving credit facility with Gerber Finance Inc. (“Gerber”) under an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement originally dated February 3, 2012 (the “Gerber Agreement”).
The foregoing descriptions of the Agreement and Guaranty are qualified in their entirety by references to the full text of the Agreement and Guaranty, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.01 and 10.02, respectively, and are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference.
