![]() Overview • Claimed defaults purportedly arise under RadioShack’s $250 million term loan facility closed on December 10, 2013, with lending affiliates of Salus Capital Partners and Cerberus Business Finance (the “Term Lenders”) • Notice delivered by Salus Capital Partners, as the agent for the Term Lenders • Notice alleges breaches of certain covenants, demands immediate payment of all amounts owing to the Term Lenders and asserts other remedies under the Credit Agreement with the Term Lenders (the “SCP Credit Agreement”) • RadioShack disagrees with the assertions that any event of default has occurred • Accordingly, RadioShack does not believe that the demand for immediate payment or any other exercise of remedies has any merit • The lenders holding a majority of the loans and commitments under RadioShack’s ABL credit facility have indicated that they intend to continue to extend credit to RadioShack in accordance with the terms of the ABL credit facility 3 |
![]() Claimed Defaults 1. Entry into the October 3, 2014 Recapitalization Agreement and the Amendment to RadioShack’s ABL Credit Facility allegedly constituted prohibited “affiliate” transactions 2. Conversion of revolving loans to term loans under the ABL Credit Facility allegedly resulted in a permanent reduction in revolving commitments causing an impermissible over- advance 3. Amendment to ABL Credit Facility allegedly breached the term loan facility by making limitations on RadioShack’s ability to make payments under the term loan more restrictive 4. A borrowing base certificate delivered by RadioShack under the ABL Credit Agreement allegedly overstated the ratio of the liquidation value of inventory to the cost of such inventory resulting in additional credit being made available to RadioShack in violation of the SCP Credit Agreement 4 |
![]() RadioShack Position RadioShack believes that no event of default has occurred under the SCP Credit Agreement and that the demand for immediate payment or any other exercise of remedies is without merit The following pages set forth the Term Lenders’ claims and RadioShack’s position 5 |
![]() RadioShack’s Position on “Affiliate” Claim Term Lenders’ Claim Entry into Recapitalization Agreement and Amendment to RadioShack’s ABL Credit Facility constituted prohibited transactions with “affiliates” of RadioShack because of Standard General’s participation and other mattters RadioShack’s Position Neither General Retail Holdings (“GRH”) nor General Retail Funding (“GRF”), the parties to the Recapitalization Agreement and Amendment at issue, is an “Affiliate” as defined in the SCP Credit Agreement 6 |
![]() RadioShack’s Position on “Affiliate” Claim Term Lenders’ Claim GRH and GRF are “Affiliates” because investors in such entities allegedly own more than 10% of the voting stock of RadioShack RadioShack’s Position 7 The stock ownership of GRH and GRF is 0%; conflating GRH and GRF with Standard General or other investors ignores their status as separate, substantial legal entities owned by disparate persons Even under expansive “Schedule 13D” concepts of beneficial ownership – which are not applicable in the SCP Credit Agreement definition of “Affiliate” – Standard General owns less than 10% of RadioShack’s voting stock |
![]() RadioShack’s Position on “Affiliate” Claim Term Lenders’ Claim GRH is an “Affiliate” because it has the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of RadioShack RadioShack’s Position 8 The power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of RadioShack is vested as a matter of law in RadioShack’s Board of Directors GRH had no representation on RadioShack’s Board of Directors, much less control of the Board, on October 3 rd and doesn’t today The RadioShack Board acted deliberately and independently GRH’s right to designate directors if the transactions contemplated by the Recapitalization Agreement occur next year did not give GRH control over RadioShack on October 3 rd or today |
![]() RadioShack’s Position on “Affiliate” Claim Term Lenders’ Claim GRH is an “Affiliate” because it has the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of RadioShack RadioShack’s Position 9 The transaction committee consisting of three RadioShack representatives and three GRH representatives does not confer control to GRH GRH does not control the committee and the committee does not control RadioShack; the committee has only limited oversight and coordination functions; it has no power to direct the management or policies of, or obligate, RadioShack |
![]() RadioShack’s Position on “Affiliate” Claim Term Lenders’ Claim RadioShack’s covenants in the Recapitalization Agreement to indemnify its directors and officers allegedly constitute impermissible transactions by RadioShack with its “Affiliates” RadioShack’s Position Covenants are between RadioShack and GRH, not between RadioShack and its directors and officers Covenants are not transactions; they did not require any action by RadioShack and may not ever require any action by RadioShack Covenants don’t change pre-existing indemnification and related rights granted to RadioShack’s directors and officers under RadioShack’s bylaws and individual indemnification agreements Covenants are customary and permitted under ordinary course exception contained in the SCP Credit Agreement 10 |
![]() RadioShack’s Position on Over-Advance Claim Term Lenders’ Claim Conversion of revolving loans to term loans under ABL Credit Facility resulted in a permanent reduction in revolving commitments causing impermissible over-advance RadioShack’s Position The aggregate amount of Revolving Loan Commitments remains $535 million Revolving Loan Commitments, as defined in the SCP Credit Agreement, were not permanently reduced under the Amendment Lenders holding Revolving Loan Commitments made revolving loans, which were converted to term loans 11 |
![]() RadioShack’s Position on Payment Restriction Claim Term Lenders’ Claim Amendment to ABL Credit Facility breached the term loan facility by making limitations on RadioShack’s ability to make payments under the term loan more restrictive RadioShack’s Position The changes did not make applicable provisions limiting RadioShack’s ability to make payments under the term loan more restrictive in any respect 12 |
![]() RadioShack’s Position on Borrowing Base Claim Term Lenders’ Claim A borrowing base certificate delivered by RadioShack under the ABL Credit Agreement allegedly overstated the ratio of the liquidation value of inventory to the cost of such inventory resulting in additional credit being made available to RadioShack in violation of the SCP Credit Agreement RadioShack’s Position RadioShack has never reflected an inventory liquidation value on its borrowing base certificate that was not permitted by or was otherwise inconsistent with the inventory appraisal obtained by the ABL Agent and then in effect in accordance with the terms of the ABL Credit Agreement and other related loan documents 13 |
