Item 2.04      Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

On August 1, 2018, Overland Storage, Inc. a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Overland”), together with Tandberg Data GmbH, as co-borrowers under that certain Credit Agreement dated as of April 6, 2016 (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), with CB CA SPV, LLC (“Colbeck”), as lender, failed to make a required payment of interest due on such date. Such failure constituted an Event of Default (as defined under the Credit Agreement) as of August 6, 2018 under the Credit Agreement, after expiration of a five day cure period. On August 7, 2018, Overland received a notice from Colbeck stating that, as a result of such failure, that all amounts under the Credit Agreement are immediately due and payable. The foregoing also constitutes an Event of Default, as defined in and pursuant to that certain 8% Senior Secured Convertible Debenture in favor of FBC Holdings, S.à r.l (“FBC” and together with Colbeck, the “Lenders”). The Company, Overland and their subsidiaries are in continuing discussions for a potential resolution with the Lenders. Despite these efforts, there can be no assurance that the Lenders will ultimately agree to any such resolution.

Item 8.01.      Other Events.

On August 13, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing the events of default. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
