Acquisition by Sileas Corporation on February 20, 2009

 

On February 20, 2009, Sileas purchased 100% of the equity and debt interest held by Longview, which represented 90% of the Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware) outstanding equity on that date.

 

Sileas Secured Promissory Note Due on May 29, 2021 to Longview Fund, LP

 

As a result of the transaction described above between Sileas and Longview on February 20, 2009, Sileas, the then new majority owner of Optex Systems, Inc. (Delaware), executed and delivered to Longview, a Secured Promissory Note due February 20, 2012 in the original principal amount of $13,524,405. The original Note bears simple interest at the rate of 4% per annum, and the interest rate upon an event of default increases to 10% per annum. The maturity date of the Note was extended on November 22, 2011 and again on November 27, 2013. In exchange for the extensions, Sileas Corp. agreed to pay the Longview Fund an extension fee equal to 2% of the principal amount of this Secured Note as of each amendment date.

 

On June 5, 2015, Sileas Corp. amended its Secured Note, with Longview Fund, L.P., as lender, as follows:

 

  The principal amount was increased to $18,022,329 to reflect the original principal amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest to date, and the Secured Note ceased to bear interest as of that date;
  The maturity date of the note was extended to May 29, 2021; and
  A conversion feature was added to the Secured Note by which the principal amount of the Secured Note can be converted into our Series A preferred stock, which is owned by Sileas, at the stated value of our Series A preferred stock.

 

As of May 1, 2017 The Sileas Corp. note balance to The Longview Fund, L.P. was $14,244,329. On June 9, 2017, Sileas Corp. (“Sileas”), a related party to the Company, entered into a transaction with The Longview Fund, L.P.(“Longview”) to settle its February 20, 2009 note with Longview in the original principal amount of $13,524,405 (the “Note”). The parties agreed to a conversion by Longview of $3,358,538 of the amount due under the Note into 2,798,782 shares of Company common stock owned by Sileas and previously pledged to Longview as security with respect to the Note. Simultaneously therewith, Sileas made a $250,000 cash payment to Longview, and Longview agreed to satisfy $10,571,791 of the amount due under the Note. The remaining amount due under the Note is $64,000 which was paid in cash by Sileas to Longview on a quarterly basis, upon the payment of quarterly dividends by the Company, over the next four calendar quarters commencing on or about June 30, 2017. The note balance was paid in full as of April 2018. In order to effect the above, Longview also released the pledge on all Company shares owned by Sileas and previously pledged to Longview.

 

Simultaneously with the above on June 9, 2017, Sileas sold 800,000 shares of Company common stock to Danny Schoening and Karen Hawkins at a price equal to $314,000 (which is a discounted amount based upon recognition of years of administrative support by Mr. Schoening and Ms. Hawkins for the Company) as follows: (i) Danny Schoening: 640,000 Shares for $200,000 plus a $50,825 promissory note; and (ii) Karen Hawkins: 160,000 Shares for $50,000 plus a $12,706 promissory note. Each promissory note has a one year term, with interest at 1.18% per annum and shall be payable in four equal quarterly installments of $12,800 for Danny Schoening and $3,200 for Karen Hawkins, each installment payable within five business days after the payment of cash dividends by the Company to each of them. As a result, Sileas no longer owns any shares of Company common stock.

The Company amended its revolving credit facility with Avidbank pursuant to a Seventh Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, dated as of April 5, 2018. The new renewable revolving maturity date is April 21, 2020. The facility provides up to $2.2 million in financing against eligible receivables and is subject to meeting certain covenants including an asset coverage ratio test for up to twenty months. The material terms of the amended revolving credit facility are as follows:

 

  The interest rate for all advances shall be the then in effect prime rate plus 2.5% and is subject to a minimum interest payment requirement per six month period of $10,000.
 
  Interest shall be paid monthly in arrears.

 

  The loan period is from April 5, 2018 through April 21, 2020 at which time any outstanding advances, and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, will be due and payable.
     
  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.

 

  On April 21, 2018 and each anniversary thereof for so long as the Revolving Facility is in effect, the Company shall pay a facility fee equal to one half of one percent (0.5%) of the Revolving Line.

 

  The Company can maintain accounts at third party banks so long as the total in those other bank accounts does not exceed 20% of the total on deposit at Avidbank, and it shall remit to Avidbank monthly statements for all of those accounts within 30 days of the end of each month.

 

In order to meet the security requirement under the lease, we entered into a letter of credit with Avidbank on October 17, 2016 in the amount of $250,000, which expires on October 17, 2019 and is renewable by us for successive one year periods unless the bank notifies us no later than 60 days prior to the end of the initial or any extended term that it shall not renew the letter of credit.
