Mad Catz, Inc. (“MCI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. (the “Company”) maintains a Credit Facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“Wells Fargo”) to borrow up to $30 million under a revolving line of credit subject to the availability of eligible collateral (accounts receivable and inventories), which changes throughout the year. The Credit Facility expires on October 31, 2015. MCI is required to meet a quarterly financial covenant based on a trailing four quarters’ coverage of fixed charges, as defined, of no less than 1.1:1.0. MCI’s fixed charge coverage ratio as of September 30, 2013 was 0.28:1.0 and, accordingly, MCI was not in compliance with this covenant as of September 30, 2013. On November 6, 2013, MCI received a waiver of the covenant default from Wells Fargo and entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility that: 1) eliminates the quarterly financial covenant based on a trailing four quarters’ coverage of fixed charges for the quarters ending December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014; 2) modifies the quarterly financial covenant based on a trailing four quarters’ coverage of fixed charges to no less than 1.0:1.0 starting with the quarter ending June 30, 2014; 3) adds a monthly financial covenant based on a trailing three months’ Adjusted EBITDA, as defined, from October 2013 through May 2014; 4) increases the interest rate ranges, based on a trailing four quarters’ coverage of fixed charges, to U.S. prime rate plus 0.50% to 2.00% (up from 0.25% to 1.00%) or, at MCI’s option, LIBOR plus 2.50% to 3.50% (up from 2.00% to 3.00%), with a LIBOR floor of 1.50%; 5) decreases the inventory sublimit from $16.0 million to $11.25 million with further monthly reductions, to $6.5 million by March 31, 2014; and 6) adds an availability block of $500,000 with further monthly increases to $2.0 million by May 1, 2014.

The following information is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02, “Results of Operations and Financial Condition,” and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.
