Term Loan

 

On July 12, 2013, in connection with the Merger, the Company entered into the Term Loan agreement, which matures on November 15, 2016. The Term Loan bears interest at a variable rate of 9.75% plus the greater of the three month LIBOR rate or 1%. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of the subsequent calendar quarter. Under the Term Loan, the Company’s obligations are secured by a first priority security interest in the Company’s intellectual property and a second priority security interest in substantially all other assets. The Term Loan was issued at a discount of $2,293, which represents the lenders fees and legal expenses. The Company also incurred $2,120 in financing fees. The discount and the financing fees are being amortized as additional interest expense over the life of the indebtedness.

 

On August 6, 2014, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Term Loan (the “Term Loan Amendment”).  Absent an amendment to the Term Loan, the Company would have been in violation of certain of its financial covenants as of June 29, 2014.  The Term Loan Amendment is discussed in more detail in the following paragraph.  The Company was in compliance with its Term Loan covenants, as amended, as of June 29, 2014 and December 31, 2013.  It is possible the Company will not meet one or more of the Term Loan covenants, as amended, as of December 31, 2014, or subsequent quarters of 2015.  If the Company were not to meet certain of the Term Loan covenants, as amended, in the future, the Company would likely seek a waiver from the Term Loan lenders.  There is no assurance that such a waiver could be obtained from the Term Loan lenders in a timely basis, or at all, in which case the Company would be in default under the Term Loan and the Term Loan would become a current liability.

 

The “Term Loan Amendment”, provided that, (i) the financial covenants were eliminated for the rolling four quarter periods ended June 29, 2014 and September 30, 2014 and modified for the rolling four quarter period ended December 31, 2014, (ii) the Company was granted the option to not pay principal installment payments of $1,875 due on September 30, 2014, December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015, (iii) the applicable prepayment premium was increased from 2% to 6% of the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan, (iv) the date of the applicable prepayment determination was extended to July 31, 2016 and (v) the Company has been granted a 30 day extension to deliver financial information to the Term Loan lenders to allow for completion of the restatement of the Company’s 2013 10-K (see Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies).  Additionally, the Company agreed to pay an amendment fee of $0.5 million that will be capitalized and paid-in-kind by being added to the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan.

 

The Term Loan Amendment fee of $0.5 million, along with Term Loan lenders legal fees to be paid by the Company in conjunction with the Term Loan Amendment, will be recorded as additional debt discount in the third quarter of 2014 and amortized as interest expense over the remaining term of the Term Loan.  The Company will expense costs incurred by the Company in conjunction with the Term Loan Amendment in the third quarter of 2014.  The Company currently intends to not pay principal installment payments due on September 30, 2014, December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015 and, therefore, the long term debt — current portion on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 29, 2014, has been adjusted accordingly, to reflect anticipated Term Loan principal installment payments over the next twelve months.

 

On March 31, 2014 and on June 30, 2014, the Company made Term Loan principal installment payments of $625 and interest payments of $1,310 and $1,308, respectively.

 

The Term Loan agreement also contains non-financial covenants and other restrictions which limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, make investments or certain payments, pay dividends (other than member distributions to support the Company’s member related taxes) enter into a merger and acquire or sell assets.

 

Principal repayments, which are due quarterly on the last day of each calendar quarter, are as follows:

Credit Agreement

 

On September 29, 2011, the Company entered into a credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“WFCF”).  Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, senior secured revolving loans are available up to $50,000, inclusive of $20,000 available for letters of credit.  Revolving loans are subject to, among other things, the borrowing base, which is calculated monthly based on specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory and specified values of fixed assets.  Under the Credit Agreement, the Company’s obligations are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of its assets (other than intellectual property), including accounts receivable, inventory and certain other collateral, and a second-priority security interest in its intellectual property. The Credit Agreement matures on September 28, 2016.

 

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate based on the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), the Canadian Banker’s Acceptance Rate or the lender’s prime rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus a spread. The interest rate spread on borrowing varies based on both the rate option selected and Colt’s quarterly average excess availability under the Credit Agreement. There is an unused line fee of .50% per annum, payable quarterly on the unused portion under the facility and a $40 annual servicing fee.

 

On August 6, 2014, the Company entered into Amendment No. 5 to the Credit Agreement, whereby WFCF consented to, among other things, extending the delivery date to September 15, 2014 for the Company to deliver financial statements for the month and fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2014.

 

The Credit Agreement limits the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, make investments or certain payments, pay dividends (other than for member distributions to support member LLC-related taxes) and merge, acquire or sell assets. In addition, certain covenants would be triggered if excess availability were to fall below a specified level. Excess availability is determined as the lesser of our borrowing base or $50,000, reduced by outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement and trade payables that are more than 60 days past due. Furthermore, if excess availability falls below $11,000 or an event of default occurs, the Company would be required to provide WFCF with more frequent compliance reporting and the WFCF may also assume certain other contractual privileges.  The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default. As of June 29, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and restrictions, as amended, and the Company monitors its future compliance based on current and anticipated financial results.

 

As of June 29, 2014, there were advances of $13,500 and $3,906 of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2013, there was a $7,083 line advance and $3,486 of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement.  As of September 12, 2014, there were advances of $13,000 outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

 

On March 22, 2013, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement, whereby, among other things, WFCF consented to the transaction pursuant to the Unit Repurchase Agreement. For additional information about this transaction, see Note 13, “Accumulated Deficit” in this Form 10-Q/A.

 

On June 19, 2013, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Agreement, whereby WFCF consented to the contribution of all the issued and outstanding equity interests issued by Colt Canada to Colt International so that Colt Canada would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Colt International, and providing for Colt International to become a guarantor under the Credit Agreement.

 

On July 12, 2013, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Agreement, which provided for New Colt to become a guarantor and Colt’s Manufacturing Company LLC (“Colt’s Manufacturing”) to become a borrower under the Credit Agreement in connection with the Merger.

 

Senior Notes

 

On November 10, 2009, Colt Defense LLC and Colt Finance Corp., the Company’s 100%-owned subsidiary, jointly and severally co-issued $250,000 of unsecured senior notes (“Senior Notes”) under an indenture (“Indenture”). The Senior Notes bear interest at 8.75% and mature on November 15, 2017. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15. The Company issued the Senior Notes at a discount of $3,522 from par value. This discount is being amortized as additional interest expense over the life of the indebtedness. No principal repayments are required until maturity.

 

The Senior Notes do not contain financial covenants that require the Company to maintain compliance with any financial ratios or measurements on a periodic basis. The Senior Notes do contain non-financial covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, enter into certain mergers or consolidations, incur certain liens and engage in certain transactions with its affiliates. In addition, the Indenture restricts the Company’s ability to pay dividends or make other Restricted Payments (as defined in the Indenture) to its members, subject to certain exceptions. Such restrictions are not expected to affect the Company’s ability to meet its cash obligations for the next twelve months.  Additionally, the Senior Notes contain certain cross-default provisions with other indebtedness if such indebtedness in default aggregates to $20,000 or more.

 

On June 19, 2013, the Company entered into a supplement to the Indenture by which Colt International, Colt Canada and CDTS became new subsidiary guarantors to the Senior Notes. As such, each agreed to jointly and severally guarantee the obligations under the Indenture.

 

On July 12, 2013, the Company entered into a supplement to the Indenture, by which New Colt and Colt’s Manufacturing became parties to the Indenture and each agreed to jointly and severally guarantee the obligations under the Indenture.
