ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On February 29, 2012, Ramtron International Corporation (the “Company”) and Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) executed an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “New Loan Agreement”), to amend and restate the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement between the Company and SVB dated as of August 18, 2009, as amended. The New Loan Agreement provides:

 

   

An increase of the total amount available under the revolving line of credit from $5,500,000 to $7,500,000;

 

   

a lower minimum EBITDA for cumulative three-month periods and lower liquidity ratio measurements, both measured on a monthly basis;

 

   

a revision of the borrowing base to be 50% of the outstanding balance of the Company’s existing term loan;

 

   

a pre-payment on the term loan on or before April 1, 2012, in an amount up to $1.25 million, based on domestic accounts receivable and inventory availability under the revolving line of credit;

 

   

A maturity date of February 28, 2013.

In connection with the New Loan Agreement, the Company also executed a new Export-Import (EX-IM) Loan Facility to secure the revolving line of credit, with a maturity date of February 28, 2013. The Company’s borrowing base associated with the EX-IM guarantee will be the lesser of $7,500,000 or up to 90% of EX-IM foreign accounts that are payable in US dollars, plus up to 65% of EX-IM eligible inventory, plus up to 50% of eligible domestic inventory. Total fees to be paid by the Company in connection with the execution of both agreements are approximately $85,000.

There are no other material relationships between the Company and its affiliates, on the one hand, and Silicon Valley Bank, on the other.
