Whitehawk Finance LLC

In order to finance the acquisition of FrontRow, the Company and substantially all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Boxlight and FrontRow as guarantors, entered into a maximum $68.5 million term loan credit facility, dated December 31, 2021 (the “Credit Agreement”), with Whitehawk Finance LLC, as lender (the “Lender”), and White Hawk Capital Partners, LP, as collateral agent. The Company received an initial term loan of $58.5 million on December 31, 2021 (the “Initial Loan”) and was provided with a subsequent delayed draw facility of up to $10 million that may be provided for additional working capital purposes under certain conditions (the “Delayed Draw”). The Initial Loan and Delayed Draw are collectively referred to as the “Term Loans.” The proceeds of the Initial Loan were used to finance the Company’s acquisition of FrontRow, pay off all indebtedness owed to the Company’s then existing lenders, Sallyport Commercial Finance, LLC and Lind Global Asset Management, LLC, pay related fees and transaction costs, and provide working capital. Of the Initial Loan, $8.5 million was subject to repayment on February 28, 2022, with quarterly principal payments of $625,000 and interest payments commencing March 31, 2022 and the $40.0 million remaining balance plus any Delayed Draw loans becoming due and payable in full on December 31, 2025. The Term Loans bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus 10.75%; provided that after March 31, 2022, if the Company’s Senior Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is less than 2.25, the interest rate would be reduced to LIBOR plus 10.25%. Such terms are subject to the Company maintaining a borrowing base in terms compliant with the Credit Agreement.

In conjunction with its receipt of the Initial Loan, the Company issued to the Lender (i) 528,169 shares of Class A common stock (the “Shares”), which Shares were registered pursuant to its existing shelf registration statement and were delivered to the Lender in January 2022, (ii) a warrant to purchase 2,043,291 shares of Class A common stock (subject to increase to the extent of 3% of any Series B and Series C convertible preferred stock converted into Class A common stock), exercisable at $2.00 per share (the “Warrant”), which Warrant was subject to repricing on March 31, 2022 based on the arithmetic volume weighted average prices for the 30 trading days prior to September 30, 2022, in the event the Company’s  stock is then trading below $2.00 per share, (iii) a 3% fee of $1,800,000, and (iv) a $500,000 original issue discount. In addition, the Company agreed to register for resale the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant. The Company also incurred agency fees, legal fees, and other costs in connection with the execution of the Credit Agreement totaling approximately $1.7 million. Under the terms of the warrant issued to Whitehawk on December 31, 2021, the exercise price of the warrants would reprice if the stock price on March 31, 2022 was less than the original exercise price, at which time the number of warrants would also be increased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate exercise price payable for the increased number of warrant shares would be the same as the aggregate exercise price previously in effect. The warrants repriced on March 31, 2022 to $1.19 per share and the shares increased to 3,434,103.

On July 22, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited institutional investor. According to the terms of the Whitehawk agreement, this purchase agreement triggered a reduction of the exercise price of the warrants and a revaluation of the derivative liability. The warrants were repriced to $1.10 and shares increased to 3,715,075.

On March 29, 2022, the Company received a notice from the collateral agent, alleging, among other things, defaults as a result of (i) failure to repay $8.5 million of the facility by February 28, 2022, (ii) non-compliance with the borrowing base resulting in the Company being in an over advance position under the Credit Agreement, and (iii) failure to timely provide certain reports and

documents.  As a result, all accrued and unpaid interest owed under the Term Loan, became subject to a post-default interest rate equal to the highest interest rate allowed for under the Credit Agreement plus 2.50% until such time as the events of default were either waived or cured. In February 2022, WhiteHawk and the Company agreed in principle to an extension of the February 2022 Payment. Pursuant to amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated April 4, 2022, the Collateral Agent and Lender agreed to extend the terms of repayment of the $8.5 million originally due on February 28, 2022 until February 28, 2023 and waive and/or otherwise extend compliance with certain other terms of the Credit Agreement in order to allow the Loan Parties adequate time to comply with such terms. In July 2022, the Company and Whitehawk agreed that the notice had inadvertently included the default with respect to the failure to repay $8.5 million of the facility. As a result, notwithstanding the notice, both WhiteHawk and the Company have agreed that the Company was not in default in making the February 2022 Payment to WhiteHawk.

The principal elements of the April amendment included (a) an extension of time to repay $8.5 million of the principal amount of the term loan from February 28, 2022 to February 28, 2023, and (b) forbearance on $3,500,000 in over advances until May 16, 2022 to allow the Company to come into compliance with the borrowing base requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement.  In such connection, the Loan Parties have obtained credit insurance on certain key customers whose principal offices are located in the European Union and Australia as, without the credit insurance, their accounts owed to the Loan Parties had been deemed ineligible for inclusion in the borrowing base calculation primarily due to the perceived inability of the Collateral Agent to enforce security interests on such accounts. In addition, the Lender and Collateral Agent agreed to (i) reduce, through September 30, 2022, the minimum cash reserve requirement for the Loan Parties, (ii) reduce the interest rate by 50 basis points (to Libor plus+ 9.75%) after delivery of the Loan Parties’ September 30, 2023 financial statements, subject to the Loan Parties maintaining 1.75 EBITDA coverage ratio, and (iii) waive all prior Events of Default under the Credit Agreement. In conjunction with the amendment to the Credit Agreement, the parties entered into an amended and restated fee letter (the “Fee Letter”) pursuant to which the parties agreed to prepayment premiums of (i) 5% for payments made on or before December 31, 2022, (ii) 4% for payments made between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023, and (iii) 2% for payments made between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2025.  Furthermore, the parties agreed that no prepayment premiums would be payable with respect to the first $5.0 million paid under the Term Loan, any payments made in relation to the $8.5 million due on or before February 28, 2023, any required amortization payments under the Credit Agreement and any mandatory prepayments by way of ECF or casualty events.

On June 21, 2022, the Company and substantially all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (together with the Company, the “Loan Parties”), entered into a second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the four year term loan credit facility, originally entered into December 31, 2021 and as amended on April 4, 2022 (the “Credit Agreement”), with the Collateral Agent and Lender.

The Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement was entered into for purposes of the Lender funding a $2.5 million delayed draw term loan and adjusting certain terms to the Credit Agreement, including adjusting the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Second Amendment) to 13.25% for  LIBOR Rate Loans and 12.25% for Reference Rate Loans, increasing the definition of change of control from 33% voting power to 40% voting power, requiring the Company to engage a financial advisor, and allowing additional time, until July 15, 2022, for the Company to come into compliance with certain borrowing base requirements set forth in the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, among other adjustments.  During the three-month period ending September 30, 2022, the Company repaid principal of $656 thousand and interest of $2.0 million to Whitehawk. During the nine-month period ending September 30, 2022, the Company repaid principal of $1.9 million and interest of $5.6 million to Whitehawk.

Lind Global Marco Fund and Lind Global Asset Management

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company repaid principal of $9.9 million and interest of $511 thousand, to Lind Global by issuing a total of 5.7 million shares of Class A common stock with an aggregate value of $13.8 million to Lind Global and recognized a loss extinguishment of debt of approximately $3.4 million.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

On May 22, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds of $1.1 million under the Paycheck Protection Program.  During 2021, the Company applied for forgiveness in the amount of $836 thousand. On March 2, 2022, we received a decision letter from the lender that the forgiveness application had been approved, leaving a remaining balance of $173 thousand to be paid. The Company received a payment schedule from our lender on May 5, 2022, extending the payoff date until May 2025. The amount remaining on the loan at September 30, 2022 was $140 thousand.

Everest Display, Inc.

On January 26, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with EDI and EDI’s subsidiary, AMAGIC, settling $1,983,436 in accounts payable owed by the Company to EDI for 793,375 shares of Class A common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized a $357 thousand gain.

Accounts Receivable Financing – Sallyport Commercial Finance

On September 30, 2020, Boxlight Inc. and EOS EDU LLC entered into an asset-based lending agreement with Sallyport Commercial Finance, LLC (“Sallyport”). Sallyport agreed to purchase 90% of the eligible accounts receivable of the Company during the Term with a right of recourse back to the Company if the receivables are not collectible. Advances against this agreement accrue interest at the rate of 3.50% in excess of the highest prime rate publicly announced from time to time with a floor of 3.25%. In addition, the Company is required to pay a daily audit fee of $950 per day.

 

On July 20, 2021, Boxlight and Sallyport amended the Accounts Receivable Agreement (the “ARC Amendment”) for purposes of increasing the Maximum Facility Limit Amount to $13,000,000, as well as increasing the minimum monthly sales from $1,250,000 to $3,000,000. In exchange for entry into the ARC Amendment, Boxlight agreed to a fee of $50,000, representing one percent of the increased Maximum Facility Limit Amount. Other terms of the Accounts Receivable Agreement remain unchanged. On August 6, 2021, Boxlight and Sallyport entered into an additional amendment of the Accounts Receivable Agreement (the “Second ARC Amendment”), which further increased the Maximum Facility Limit Amount to $15,000,000. In exchange for entry into the Second ARC Amendment, Boxlight agreed to a fee of $20,000, representing one percent of the increased Maximum Facility Limit Amount. Other terms of the Accounts Receivable Agreement remain unchanged.
