Note 5 - Debt Financing

Credit Facility — PNC Bank (formerly BBVA, USA)

On April 16, 2020, Optex Systems Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiary, Optex Systems, Inc. (collectively, the “Borrowers”) entered into a line of credit facility (the “PNC Facility”) with BBVA, USA. In June 2021, PNC Bank completed its acquisition of BBVA, USA and the bank name changed to PNC Bank (“PNC”). The substantive terms were as follows:

On April 12, 2022, the Borrowers entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “PNC Loan Agreement”) with PNC, pursuant to which the PNC Facility was decreased from $2.25 million to $1.125 million, and the maturity date was extended from April 15, 2022 to April 15, 2023. The line of credit was paid in full on March 22, 2023 and replaced with a new line of credit from Texas Capital Bank.

On November 21, 2022, the Borrowers issued an Amended and Restated Revolving Line of Credit Note (the “PNC Line of Credit Note”) to PNC in connection with an increase of the PNC Facility from $1.125 million to $2.0 million. Obligations outstanding under the PNC Facility accrued interest at a rate equal to PNC’s prime rate minus 0.25%.

The PNC Line of Credit Note and PNC Loan Agreement contained customary events of default and negative covenants, including but not limited to those governing indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, investments, and restricted payments. The PNC Facility was secured by substantially all of the operating assets of the Borrowers as collateral. The Borrowers’ obligations under the PNC Facility were subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an event of default as defined in the PNC Line of Credit Note and PNC Loan Agreement.

As of October 2, 2022 and April 2, 2023, the outstanding balance under the PNC facility was zero.

Credit Facility — Texas Capital Bank

On March 22, 2023, the Borrowers entered into a Business Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Texas Capital Bank (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Lender will make available to the Borrowers a revolving line of credit in the principal amount of $3 million (the “Texas Capital Facility”). The Texas Capital Facility replaced the $2 million PNC Facility.

The commitment period for advances under the Texas Capital Facility is twenty-six months expiring on May 22, 2025. We refer to the expiration of that time period as the “Maturity Date.” Outstanding advances under the Texas Capital Facility will accrue interest at a rate equal to the secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) plus a specified margin, subject to a specified floor interest rate. As of April 2, 2023 the interest rate was 7.501% per annum.

The Loan Agreement contains customary events of default (including a 25% change in ownership) and negative covenants, including but not limited to those governing indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes (including changes in management), investments, and restricted payments (including cash dividends). The Loan Agreement also requires the Borrowers to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.25:1 and a total leverage ratio of 3.00:1. The Texas Capital Facility is secured by substantially all of the operating assets of the Borrowers as collateral. The Borrowers’ obligations under the Texas Capital Facility are subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an event of default as defined in the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement further provides for a $125,000 Letter of Credit sublimit.

The outstanding balance under the Texas Capital Facility was $1.0 million as of April 2, 2023. For the three months and six months ended April 2, 2023, the total interest expense under the facilities was $8 thousand. For the three months and six months ended April 3, 2022, the total interest expense under the facilities was zero.
