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 Borrowers’ existing revolving line of credit 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 PNC Loan Agreement required the Borrowers to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.25:1.

On November 21, 2022, the Borrowers issued an Amended and Restated Revolving Line of Credit Note (the “Line of Credit Note”) to PNC in connection with an increase of the Borrowers’ revolving line of credit facility under the Loan Agreement from $1.125 million to $2.0 million. The maturity date remained April 15, 2023. Obligations outstanding under the credit facility accrued interest at a rate equal to the Lender’s prime rate minus 0.25%.

The 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 credit facility were subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an event of default as defined in the Line of Credit Note and PNC Loan Agreement.

As of October 2, 2022 and October 1, 2023 the outstanding balance under the PNC Facility was zero. The PNC Facility was replaced by the Texas Capital Facility on March 22, 2023.
