Item 1.01 Entry into a Definitive Material Agreement.
On March 20, 2014 Bovie Medical Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a transaction with Bank of Tampa, a Florida banking corporation (“Lender”) wherein Lender extended to the Company a mortgage loan (the “Loan”) in the principal amount of $3,592,000.00. The obligations under the Loan are secured by a first mortgage and security interest in the Company’s Clearwater, Florida facility as well as an assignment of the Company’s accounts receivable. In addition, the Company pledged an interest in a certificate of deposit in the amount of $898,000 as additional collateral. The terms of the Loan were set forth in a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), promissory note (the “Note”), and the ancillary documents executed by the Company in favor of Lender (collectively, the “Loan Documents”). The initial maturity date of the Note is March 20, 2017; however, the Company has an option to extend the maturity of the Note until March 20, 2022.
Borrowings under the Loan bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 3.5%.
The Loan Documents contain the customary financial covenants, including a covenant that the Company maintains a minimum liquidity of $750,000.00. Although there is no Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Loan Agreement) for the initial term of the Loan, should the Company desire to extend the Loan beyond three (3) years, the Company must maintain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio for each of the preceding four (4) quarters of not less than 1.0 to 1.0. In the event the Loan is extended, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio must be not less than 1.2:1.0.
The Loan Documents also contain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Loan, the Company redeemed those certain Industrial Revenue Bonds (the “Bonds”) issued by the Pinellas County Industrial Development Authority which were issued pursuant to an Amended and Restated Indenture of Trust dated October 31, 2011 between the Pinellas County Industrial Development Authority and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. as Trustee, and the Credit Agreement dated October 31, 2011 between the Company and PNC Bank, N.A. (“PNC”). In connection with the redemption of the Bonds, The Company paid PNC $3,188,332.51 to satisfy its existing credit facility in full. In connection with the termination of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement with PNC, the Company paid PNC $410,275.
