Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 10, 2015, Planet Payment, Inc. (“Planet Payment” or “Company”) entered into a $10 million (the “Line of Credit”) secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) pursuant to a Credit and Security Agreement dated June 10, 2015, by and among the Company, Citizens Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), and certain affiliates of the Company as borrowers or guarantors (the “Credit Agreement”).  The Credit Facility will provide funds for general corporate purposes and repurchases of issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company.  Amounts repaid under the Credit Facility may be reborrowed.  The Credit Facility matures on June 10, 2020 and is payable in full upon maturity.

 

Revolving loans under the Credit Facility will accrue interest at the London interbank offered rate then in effect (adjusted for any reserve requirements required by law), plus a margin of 2.50%.

 

The Credit Agreement also provides for a letter of credit sub-facility under the Credit Facility of up to $2 million.

 

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants.  Among other affirmative covenants, the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis must (a) maintain a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 1.20:1.00, tested as of the last day of any fiscal quarter on a rolling four-quarter basis, (b) not exceed a maximum Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 2:00:1:00 at all times, tested as of the last day of any fiscal quarter on a rolling four-quarter basis (“Leverage Ratio Covenant”) and (c) maintain, at all times, the Minimum Availability Requirement (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of at least $5,000,000 in the aggregate of (i) cash and cash equivalents and (ii) availability under the Line of Credit.

 

The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, among others: non-payment of principal, interest or other amounts when due; inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violation of covenants; cross-defaults with certain other indebtedness; certain undischarged judgments; bankruptcy, insolvency or inability to pay debts; and a change of control of the Company. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the Bank may declare the loans and all other obligations under the Credit Agreement immediately due and payable and will then have no further obligation to make advances under the Credit Facility and the immediate right to enforce or realize on any collateral.

 

The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s personal property, including the Company’s intellectual property and that of its subsidiaries that are borrowers or guarantors.
