ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On May 13, 2009, Tufco Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a
Credit Agreement, among Tufco, L.P., the Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as
lender and agent (the "Lender") pursuant to which the Lender agreed to provide
the Company with a $10,000,000 unsecured revolving line of credit facility that
expires in May 2010 (the "Credit Agreement"). The proceeds from the facility
will be used to repay borrowings under the Company's prior credit facility and
for general corporate purposes. The borrowings under the Credit Agreement will
bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.25%. LIBOR will be reset every one
month period.
Availability under the credit facility will be limited to a borrowing base
calculated based on: (i) 80% of Eligible Accounts (as such term is defined in
the Credit Agreement), and (ii) 50% of Eligible Inventory (as such term is
defined in the Credit Agreement).
In addition to paying interest on outstanding borrowings, the Company is
required to pay quarterly in arrears, a non-usage fee of .50% per annum on the
unused portion of the facility. The Company paid a facility fee of $15,000 on
the day of the closing.
The Credit Agreement is unsecured. However, if the Company does not meet
certain financial covenant levels, the Company will be required to pledge all of
its accounts receivables and inventory through a separate security agreement.
The Credit Agreement contains various negative covenants including requiring
the Company to not permit its Tangible Net Worth (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) to be less than $25,000,000, permit Consolidated After Tax Net Income
(as defined in the Credit Agreement) for certain periods to be below certain
levels, creation of liens, mergers, dispositions of property, dividends and
stock repurchases, acquisitions and other investments and entering into new
lines of business. The Credit Agreement also contains various affirmative
covenants, including covenants relating to the delivery of financial statements
and other financial information, maintenance of property, maintenance of
insurance, maintenance of books and records and compliance with environmental
laws.
The Credit Agreement contains various events of default, including:
(i) nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; (ii) any
representation or warranty proving to have been incorrect when made or deemed
made ; (iii) failure to perform or observe covenants set forth in the loan
documentation; (iv) bankruptcy and insolvency defaults; (v) monetary judgment
defaults in an amount in excess of $500,000; (vi) cross-default to other
indebtedness in an amount in excess of $250,000; (vii) actual or asserted
invalidity or impairment of any loan documentation; and (viii) breaches or
violations of certain employee benefits obligations, laws or regulations. In the
case of an event of default, all amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement
become due and payable.
