Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 6, 2013, Frequency Electronics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), obtained a credit facility (the “Facility”) from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”) pursuant to a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) between the Company and JPMorgan. The maximum aggregate amount of the Facility is $25,000,000, of which the Company borrowed $7,200,000 on June 6, 2013, as evidenced by the Line of Credit Note, dated as of June 6, 2013 (the “Note”), by the Company to JPMorgan. The Company may make borrowings under the Facility from either Tranche A or Tranche B or a combination of both, not to exceed $25,000,000. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the amount of Tranche A borrowings may not exceed the value of the Pledged Investments (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The amount of Tranche B borrowings may not exceed the lesser of (i) $15,000,000 and (ii) the Borrowing Base (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Facility is fully guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and is secured by, among other things, a pledge of substantially all personal property of the Company and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries.
The Note will bear interest, payable monthly, at a rate equal to the LIBOR Rate, as determined from time to time by JPMorgan pursuant to the terms of the Note, plus a margin of 0.75% for Tranche A borrowings and 1.75% for Tranche B borrowings. The principal balance on the Note, along with any accrued and unpaid interest, is due and payable no later than June 5, 2018, which is the maturity date of the Facility. In addition, the Company is required to pay JPMorgan fees equal to 0.1% per annum on any unused portion of the Facility. Proceeds from the Facility will be used for working capital and to finance acquisitions.
The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, a Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio (as each term is defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than 3.0 to 1.0 and an Interest Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than 5.0 to 1.0.
The Credit Agreement contains a number of affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of additional debt, liens on property, acquisitions, loans and guarantees, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, asset sales, and distributions and other payments in respect of the Company’s capital stock. The Credit Agreement also contains certain events of default customary for credit facilities of this type, including nonpayment of principal or interest when due, material incorrectness of representations and warranties when made, breach of covenants, bankruptcy and insolvency, unstayed material judgment beyond specified periods, and acceleration or payment default of other material indebtedness.
If any events of default occur, JPMorgan will have the option to exercise certain remedies customary for credit facilities of this type, including declaring the outstanding loans to be due immediately, without notice.
The description above is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the Credit Agreement, the Note, the Continuing Guaranty, the Continuing Pledge Agreement, the Continuing Security Agreement, and the Control Agreement, each of which is filed as an exhibit to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
