Amendment to Loan Agreement with Banco BPM S.P.A.
As previously disclosed on the Current Report on Form 8-K (“Current Report”) filed by Kaleyra, Inc., a Delaware corporation (f/k/a GigCapital, Inc., hereinafter the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 26, 2020, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Kaleyra S.p.A. (f/k/a Ubiquity S.r.l.) entered into a general unsecured loan agreement (the “BPM Loan Agreement”) with Banco BPM S.p.A. (formerly Banco Popolare di Milano S.p.A., hereinafter “BPM”) denominated in Euro for a total of €6.0 million ($6.4 million at the March 20, 2020 exchange rate) on March 20, 2020. The BPM Loan Agreement was a refinancing of that certain loan agreement, dated as of July 23, 2019, by and between Kaleyra S.p.A. and BPM (the “Initial Loan Agreement”). The BPM Loan Agreement has a maturity of 45 months from the date of first repayment and bears interest at a variable rate equal to the three-month Euribor plus a spread of 3.00%. The BPM Loan Agreement is to be repaid in 15 quarterly installments. The total amount of the BPM Loan Agreement, less amounts related to commissions, fees and expenses, was drawn in full the same date as of the BPM Loan Agreement.
The BPM Loan Agreement was previously filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K on March 26, 2020 and the Initial Loan Agreement was previously filed as Exhibit 10.20 to the Current Report on Form 8-K on December 2, 2019, and each are incorporated by reference hereto.
On April 15, 2021, Kaleyra S.p.A. and BPM entered into an Agreement to suspend payment of the Principal Component of the repayment instalments (with possible extension of the duration) of the Unsecured Loan (the “Loan Amendment Agreement”), pursuant to which Kaleyra S.p.A. and BPM agreed to postpone repayment of the principal amounts due under the BPM Loan Agreement for a period of six (6) months starting from March 31, 2021 until September 30, 2021, without prejudice to Kaleyra S.p.A.’s obligations to pay interests in relation to the principal amount at the original due dates. Consequently, the repayment schedule under the BPM Loan Agreement has been extended for the period equal to that of the six (6) month suspension period.
The foregoing description is only a summary of the Loan Amendment Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan Amendment Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, and is incorporated herein by reference.
