Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On July 28, 2023, Flux Power Holdings, Inc. (the “Registrant”), Flux Power, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant (“Flux” and together with the Registrant, the “Company”), entered into a certain Loan and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Gibraltar Business Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GBC”). The Agreement provides the Company with a senior secured revolving loan facility (the “Credit Facility”) for up to $15,000,000 (the “Revolving Loan Commitment”). The revolving amount available under the Credit Facility is equal to the lesser of the Revolving Loan Commitment and the borrowing base amount (as defined in the Agreement). The Credit Facility is evidenced by a revolving note, which matures on July 28, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”), unless extended, modified or renewed (the “Revolving Note”). Provided that there is no event of default, the Maturity Date can automatically be extended for one (1) year period upon payment of a renewal fee for each such extension in the amount of three-quarters of one percent (0.75%) of the Revolving Loan Commitment, which fee will be due and payable on or before the applicable Maturity Date. In addition, subject to conditions and terms set forth in the Agreement, the Company may request an increase in the Revolving Loan Commitment from time to time upon not less than 30 days’ notice to GBC which increase may be made at the sole discretion of GBC, as long as: (a) the requested increase is in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, and (b) the total increases do not exceed $5,000,000 and no more than five (5) increases are made. Outstanding principal under the Credit Facility accrues interest at SOFR (as defined in the Agreement) plus five and one half of one percent (5.50%) per annum with such interest payment is due monthly on the last day of the month. In the event of default, the amounts due under the Agreement bears interest at a rate per annum equal to three percent (3.0%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable to such amounts. The Company has agreed to pay GBC a non-refundable closing fee for the Credit Facility of $112,500 on or before the execution of the Agreement. In addition, the Company is required to pay a monthly unused line fee equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum on the difference between the Revolving Loan Commitment and the average outstanding principal balance of the revolving loan(s) for such month. The obligations under the Credit Facility may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time upon an exit fee of (a) two percent (2.00%) of the Revolving Loan Commitment if the obligations are paid in full during the first year after the closing date, or (b) one percent (1.00%) of the Revolving Loan Commitment if the obligations are paid in full after the expiration of the first year after the closing date, provided, that, the exit fee will be waived if such prepayment occurs in connection with the refinancing of the obligations with Bank of America, N.A., as lender.
The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, negative and affirmative covenants and financial covenants including maintaining minimum tangible net worth, and certain limitations on dispositions of assets. The Agreement also contains usual and customary events of default (with customary grace periods, as applicable) and provides that, upon the occurrence of an event of default, payment of all amounts payable under the Credit Facility may be accelerated and/or GBC’s commitment may be terminated by GBC without any action by GBC.
The loans and other obligations of the Company under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company (including, without limitation, intellectual property) pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and the Intellectual Property Security Agreement entered into by and among the Company and GBC on July 28, 2023 (the “IP Security Agreement”).
