Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 19, 2014, GA Asset Advisors Limited (the “Borrower”), the United Kingdom subsidiary of Great American Group, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Facility Agreement and various ancillary documents (the “Credit Agreement”), with Burdale Financial Limited (the “Lender”), a subsidiary of the Company’s primary lender, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”). The Credit Agreement was acknowledged and agreed to by Great American Group, LLC, and Great American Group WF, LLC, both subsidiaries of the Company, and the Company, as guarantors.  The Credit Agreement provides, among other things, for the extension of up to £50,000,000 in available credit to finance engagements by the Borrower in the United Kingdom, provided that the aggregate amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement and the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Restated Credit Agreement”), dated as of July 15, 2013, by and among Wells Fargo, the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company, may not exceed $100,000,000.

 

The interest rate for each revolving credit advance under the Credit Agreement, subject to certain terms and conditions, is equal to the LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25% to 3.25% depending on the type of advance and the percentage such advance represents of the related transaction for which such advance is provided. The Credit Agreement provides for success fees payable to Burdale in the amount of 7.5% to 22.5% of the net profits, if any, earned on engagements funded under the Credit Agreement as set forth therein. The Credit Agreement terminates upon the termination of the Restated Credit Agreement on July 15, 2018, or earlier in accordance with its terms.
