(the “Company”) terminated the Financing Agreement, dated as of December 18, 2012, as amended (collectively, the “Financing Agreement”), with Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc.

The disclosures provided in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K are hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.02.
 
Item 2.03     
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
 
On March 12, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Minim Inc. (“Minim”) entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”).
 
The Credit Agreement provides the Company with a maximum revolving credit line of $13 million (the “Revolving Line”). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by all of the assets of Minim and the Company. The Company anticipates that it will use the borrowing capacity for general corporate purposes, including funding its working capital requirements. SVB was paid a one-time, non-refundable revolving line commitment fee of $24,000 on the Effective Date. The floating per annum interest rate under the Credit Agreement will range between 3.75% to 4.25%, with a minimum interest rate per month of $14,000. The maturity date is 24 months from the Effective Date. If the Credit Agreement is terminated for any reason prior to the maturity date, in addition to the payment of any other amounts then-owing, the Company must pay a termination fee in an amount equal to 2.0% of the Revolving Line if such termination occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, or 1.0 % of the Revolving Line if such termination occurs on or at any time after the first anniversary of the Effective Date.
 
The Credit Agreement contains certain customary covenants, including a restriction from declaring any dividends, redeeming or repurchasing any stock, or making any investment, loan or capital contribution in any third party. In addition, the Company is restricted from making material dispositions or transfers of assets, or making any changes in the Company’s business, management, control or business locations. The Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default. Upon an event of default, SVB has the right to declare all outstanding obligations as immediately due and payable, which will bear interest at 5.0% above the otherwise then applicable interest rate.
 
The foregoing summary is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
