Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information set forth above in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.04 Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.
During February 2023, the Registrant entered into a $2 million master credit agreement (credit facility) with Bank of America. The credit facility is secured by all the assets of the Registrant’s Champion subsidiaries and guaranteed by the Registrant, the Champion subsidiaries and the Registrant’s CEO. The Line of Credit expired on February 28, 2024, but the Registrant and Champion Safe Company have been actively working with the bank to extend or modify the credit facility.
Despite being current on all payments under the credit facility and actively working with the bank for a long-term solution to repay the credit facility, on July 25, 2024, Champion Safe Company received a notice of default and demand for payment from the bank. The current balance owing to the bank is $2,017,539.27 and interest is accruing at $743.38 per day. The Registrant is currently negotiating a forbearance or other cure to the default and a plan for repayment of the credit facility within sixty (60) to ninety (90) days with its assigned relationship manager at the bank.
However, if the Registrant is unable to cure the default, or extend or replace the credit facility, it would have a material impact on the Registrant and its Champion subsidiaries’ working capital needs. In addition, the Registrant having to raise equity or debt financing to repay the credit facility or obtaining a new credit facility may be on substantially worse terms than the current credit facility.
Item 3.02 Sale of Unregistered Securities
The information set forth above in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the Securities Exchange Agreements No. 1 and No. 2 is incorporated herein by reference.
The issuance of the shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of that Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof.
