Credit Facility – Avidbank

 

On May 22, 2014, the Company amended its revolving credit facility with Avidbank. The new renewable revolving maturity date is May 21, 2016. The facility provides up to $1 million in financing against eligible receivables and subject to meeting certain covenants including an asset coverage ratio test for up to two years. The material terms of the amended revolving credit facility are as follows:

 

The interest rate for all advances shall be the greater of 7.0% and the then in effect prime rate plus 2.5%. The additional minimum interest payment requirement per six month period is $10,000.

 

Interest shall be paid monthly in arrears.
     
The loan period is from May 22nd through May 21st of the following year, beginning with the period of May 22, 2014 through May 21, 2015 and a revolving loan maturity date of May 21, 2016, at which time any outstanding advances, and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, will be due and payable.

 

A renewal fee of $5,000 is due on the one year anniversary of the date of the loan agreement.

 

The obligations of Optex Systems, Inc. to Avidbank are secured by a first lien on all of its assets (including intellectual property assets should it have any in the future) in favor of Avidbank.

 

The facility contains customary events of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default that remains uncured after any applicable cure period, Avidbank’ s commitment to make further advances may terminate, and Avidbank would also be entitled to pursue other remedies against Optex Systems, Inc. and the pledged collateral.

 

Pursuant to a guaranty executed by Optex Systems Holdings in favor of Avidbank, Optex Systems Holdings has guaranteed all obligations of Optex Systems, Inc. to Avidbank.

 

As of June 28, 2015, the outstanding balance on the line of credit was $550 thousand. For the three and nine months ended June 28, 2015, the total interest expense against the outstanding line of credit balance was $10 thousand and $20 thousand, respectively.  For the three and nine months ended June 29, 2014, the total interest expense against the outstanding line of credit balance was $6 thousand and $16 thousand, respectively.

 

Issuance of Convertible Notes

 

On November 17, 2014, Optex Systems Holdings entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Agreement”) to sell up to $2.1 million principal amount of convertible promissory notes (“Notes”) to several accredited investors (the “Investors”) in a private placement pursuant to which the Investors purchased a series of Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $1,550 thousand. An additional convertible promissory note for $10 thousand was issued to the placement agency in consideration for placement services on the transaction. The terms are consistent for each of the notes issued as follows:

 

¨ The notes bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum and mature two years after the date of the issuance.
¨ The interest is due either in cash or, at its option, through stock, or a combination at the option of Optex Systems Holdings.
¨ The notes are convertible at the option of the note holders at any time into shares of Optex Systems Holdings’ common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a conversion price equal to $0.0025 per share.
¨ All or part of the then remaining principal amount of the notes may be prepaid at any time at a price equal to 125% of the sum of the remaining principal amount of the notes to be prepaid plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
¨ The converted stock may not exceed 3.33% of beneficial ownership for any holder or attribution parties.
¨ The agreement also requires the Optex Systems Holdings to affect at least a 1:350 reverse split of its common stock no later than 90 days from November 17, 2014.

 

¨ The conversion price of the notes is subject to “full ratchet” anti-dilution adjustment for subsequent lower price issuances by Optex Systems Holdings, as well as customary adjustments provisions for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like.
¨ The notes contain certain customary negative covenants and events of default, including, but not limited to, Optex Systems Holdings’ failure to pay principal and interest, material defaults under the other transaction documents, bankruptcy, and Optex Systems Holdings’ failure to deliver Common Stock certificates after a conversion date.

 

Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement, of even date, between the Company and the Investors, Optex Systems Holdings is obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registering the shares underlying the Notes for public resale by January 17, 2015 and cause such registration statement to be effective by March 17, 2015.  The Company is subject to certain liquidated damages in the event it does not satisfy such obligations and other obligations under such Registration Rights Agreement.

 

All of the noteholders have waived the Company’s obligations to file a registration statement by January 17, 2015 and to effect a reverse split of its common stock by February 17, 2015.

 

Sileas Corp., the controlling shareholder of Optex Systems Holdings, also entered into a Make Whole Agreement, of even date, with the Investors for the benefit of the Company, pursuant to which, unless and until Optex Systems Holdings’ common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, it will make payment to the investors of interest on the Notes, on any date on which interest is due and payable under the Notes, from the date of payment until the maturity date of the Notes. There is no corresponding agreement between Sileas and Optex Systems Holdings, and thus no related party transaction.

 

The securities sold to the investors were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder and corresponding provisions of state securities laws, which exempt transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. The Investors are “accredited investors” as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

Optex Systems, Inc. incurred $74 thousand in debt issuance costs, for investment banking, legal and placements fee services, inclusive of the $10 thousand supplemental convertible note issued for placement fees. These costs are reflected in the balance sheet and cash flow statement as debt issuance costs and are amortized to interest expense across the term of the notes based on the effective interest method. For the three and nine months ending June 28, 2015 the amortized interest expense related to the debt was $3 thousand and $146 thousand, respectively.

 

On March 26, 2015, Optex Systems Holdings filed a Certificate of Designation with respect to its Certificate of Incorporation to authorize a series of preferred stock known as “Series B Preferred Stock” under Article FOURTH thereof, with 1010 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issuable thereunder. The amendment was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors under Article FOURTH of its Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.  The stated value of each share of Series B Preferred Stock is $1,629, and each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.0025. Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock receive preferential rights in the event of liquidation to other classes of preferred and common stock of the Company other than the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. Additionally, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the common stock and the Series A Preferred Stock on an “as-converted” basis.

 

On March 29, 2015, the holders of the Company’s $1,560,000 principal amount of convertible promissory notes, issued on or about November 17, 2014, converted the entire principal amount thereof and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, into 1,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock.
