On October 21, 2014, Mattson Technology, Inc. (the "Company") and Silicon Valley Bank (the "Bank"), as "lender" and "agent", entered into an amendment to the existing credit agreement, dated as of April 12, 2013, between the Company and the Bank (the “Credit Agreement”). This amendment, among other things: allows us to make a one-time request to increase the existing credit facility up to an additional $25.0 million; extends the term of the credit facility to October 12, 2017; improves the advance rate of our borrowing base calculation; lowers the currently effective interest rate on any outstanding borrowings by approximately 1.00%; reduces our minimum consolidated EBITDA covenant; and removes certain financial covenants when we maintain a specific liquidity level of cash, cash equivalents and availability under the Credit Agreement of $30.0 million or greater. As of September 28, 2014, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility.
The foregoing summary of the amendment is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the amendment attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
