Item 1.01 Entry into A Material Definitive Agreement

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

 

On March 20, 2013, Multiband Corporation (the Company) completed a financing transaction with Fifth Third Bank that will provide up to $30.0 million of senior secured debt financing. Proceeds from the financing will be used to  pay off its existing secured indebtedness, and  to fund working capital needs. The financing package will consist of a $20.0 million term loan and a $10.0 million revolving line of credit. The term loan will amortize over five years on a straight line basis at a rate of $1.0 million per quarter. In addition to the quarterly principal payments, the Company will be required to make additional annual principal payments equal to 50% of excess cash flow as defined in the agreement. Interest under the term loan will be based on the 30-day LIBOR rate plus 5.5%. The revolving line of credit will be available based on 80% of eligible accounts receivable plus up to 50% of eligible inventory. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit shall bear interest at the 30-day LIBOR rate plus 5.0%. Interest will be payable monthly in arrears. The financing agreements contain certain financial covenants. Both facilities will be secured by a valid, perfected, first and only priority security interest in all tangible and intangible assets and will mature on April 30, 2016.

 

The facilities will be subject to certain financial covenants including, but not limited to, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, minimum EBITDA levels, maximum total leverage ratio and a limitation of annual capital expenditures, all as defined in the agreement.

 

In connection with this transaction, the Company incurred the following fees:

·A commitment fee of $50,000,
·An upfront fee equal to 2.0% of the facility,
·An annual administrative fee equal to $25,000,
·An unused revolver fee equal to 0.5% of the average unused revolver balance.

In addition, if the Company prepays the term loan prior to the second anniversary of the closing date, a payment equal to (a) 2.0% of the principal amount prepaid if on or prior to the first anniversary of the closing date or (b) 1.0% of the principal amount prepaid if after the first anniversary date and before the second anniversary date, will be due and payable to the lenders.
