| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On October 28, 2021, CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Waiver and Eighth Amendment (the “Eighth Amendment”) to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with the Lenders named therein and BankUnited, N.A. (“BankUnited”) as Sole Arranger, Agent and a Lender, dated as of March 24, 2016 (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). Under the Eighth Amendment, the parties amended the Credit Agreement by (a) extending the maturity date of the Company’s existing revolving line of credit and its existing term loan to December 31, 2022, (b) reducing the aggregate revolving line of credit from $24 million to $21 million while eliminating the requirement to maintain a minimum $3.0 million in a combination of line of credit availability and unrestricted cash, (c) providing for the repayment of an additional $750,000 of the principal balance of the term loan in three installments of $250,000 on November 30, 2021, December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022 in addition to $200,000 regular monthly principal payments through maturity, (d) amending the minimum debt service coverage ratio covenant for the fiscal quarters ending on and after June 30, 2021 to provide for a ratio of 1.5 to 1.0, (e) amending the maximum leverage ratio covenant as follows: for the fiscal quarter ending on March 31, 2021 - 5.0 to 1.0; for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021 - 4.75 to 1.0; for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021 - 4.25 to 1.0 and for the fiscal quarter ended 12/31/21 and thereafter - 4.0 to 1.0, determined at the end of each fiscal quarter for the trailing four-quarter period then ended (or, in the case of the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021, determined on an annualized basis for the three-quarter period then ended). Additionally, under the Eighth Amendment, BankUnited waived certain covenant non-compliance and waived temporarily, late delivery of certain financial information.
As consideration for the Lenders entering into the Eighth Amendment, the Company agreed to pay a $250,000 fee to the Lenders on December 31, 2021 which will be earned if the Company determines not to repay the obligations under the Credit Agreement and terminate the Credit Agreement commitments by such date. At the Company’s option, such fee may be paid in kind and accrued and capitalized on December 31, 2021 rather than paid in cash.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Eighth Amendment, a copy of which is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
