Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

The Boards of Directors of Registrant and its majority owned subsidiary TransCoastal Corporation, a Texas corporation (the "TCC-Texas") approved a number of material and ancillary contracts with Melody Business Finance, LLC (“Melody”) effective October 9, 2015. The primary contract is the Tenth Amendment to Loan Agreement and Forbearance Agreement which acknowledges that TCC-Texas is in default on its loan with Melody and provides that Melody will forebear action against TCC-Texas's upon certain conditions. As of the effective date of the Tenth Amendment, the aggregate commitments under the loan agreement were increased to $20,245,945.15.

 

Melody has agreed to extend the Forbearance Agreement regarding all “Existing Events of Default” conditioned upon the agreement of Registrant and TCC-Texas, to several additional contracts including, but not limited to, a Restructuring Support Agreement ("RSA"), a Security Agreement (Registrant) and an Amended Security Agreement (TCC-Texas).

 

Restructuring Support Agreement and Proposed Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

 

The terms of the proposed restructuring, are as set forth in the term sheet appended to the RSA (the “Term Sheet”). The RSA contemplates a consensual restructuring of the outstanding secured debt obligations of TCC-Texas and and its affiliates while maintaining operations and allowing for payment of employees, vendors and other operating expenses in the ordinary course. The Term Sheet contemplates effectuating the restructuring through a pre-packaged plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code to be filed within 30 days of the execution of the RSA.

 

Pursuant to the terms of Term Sheet, the contemplated pre-packaged plan of reorganization provides that Melody, as pre-petition secured lender, will receive 100% of the equity interests in a reorganized TCC-Texas while also providing TCC-Texas with an exit financing facility and proposed “New Investment.” Moreover, the Term Sheet contemplates that current holders of the equity interests of TCC-Texas, including Registrant, will not be entitled to a recovery under the pre-packaged plan of reorganization and will lose all their equity interest in TCC-Texas. The Term Sheet also provides that the allowed claims of the unsecured creditors of TCC-Texas and and its affiliates will be satisfied in full. The equity interest in TCC-Texas owned by Registrant currently constitutes Registrant's sole asset.

 

Consequently upon the loss of its equity interest in TCC-Texas Registrant would have no operations or source of revenue and therefore would likely be classified as a "shell corporation" under the provisions of 17 CFR 240.12b-2.

 

Potential investors in Registrant are hereby strongly cautioned against making any investment in Registrant until such time as Registrant's financial condition substantially improves.

 

Security Agreement

 

The Security Agreement is by and between Registrant and Melody whereby Registrant agrees to pledge certain security for any loans made by Melody on or after the effective date of the Tenth Amendment. The primary asset being pledged to Melody by Registrant in the Security Agreement is Registrant's equity ownership in TCC-Texas represented by a common stock certificate issued by TCC-Texas in the name of Registrant.

 

Amended Security Agreements

 

TCC-Texas and Melody entered into an Amended Security Agreement whereby TCC-Texas agrees to certain amended language to the existing Security Agreement originally entered into on May 19, 2011, in connection with the transaction.
