Note 10 - Debt

Convertible Note

On February 23, 2022, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, as amended, with Lind Global, pursuant to which we issued to Lind Global the Convertible Note (see Note 1) and a common stock purchase warrant to acquire 1,283,732 shares of our Common Stock (the “Warrant”). The Convertible Note does not bear interest but was issued at a $0.75 million discount (“OID”). We received proceeds of approximately $4.8 million net of the OID and expenses.

The Convertible Note provides for 18 monthly principal repayments of $319 thousand beginning 180 days from issuance.  Payments can be made in the form of cash, shares, or a combination of both at the discretion of GSE.

The Convertible Note is convertible into our Common Stock at any time after the earlier of six months from issuance of the Convertible Note or the date of an effective registration statement filed with the SEC covering the underlying shares. The conversion price of the Convertible Note is initially equal to $1.94 per share, subject to customary adjustments. The Convertible Note matures in February of 2024, although we are permitted to prepay the Convertible Note, provided that Lind Global shall have the option to convert up to one third of the outstanding principal of the Convertible Note at a price per share equal to the lessor of the Repayment Share price or the conversion price (as described below). The Convertible Note is guaranteed by each of our subsidiaries and is secured by a first priority lien on all of our assets. The Convertible Note is not subject to any financial covenants and events of default under the Convertible Note are limited to events related to payment, market capitalization, certain events pertaining to conversion and the underlying shares of Common Stock and other customary events including, but not limited to, bankruptcy or insolvency. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Convertible Note will become immediately due and payable at an amount equal to 120% of the outstanding principal, subject to any cure periods described in the Convertible Note, and the customer may demand that all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount be converted into shares of common stock at the lower of the then current conversion price and 80% of the average of the three lowest daily volume-weighted average price (“VWAPs”) during the twenty days prior to delivery of the conversion notice. If there is a change of control of the Company, Lind Global has the right to require us to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Note.

A portion of the proceeds of the Convertible Note were used to repay, in full, all outstanding indebtedness owed to Citizens Bank, N.A. (“Citizens”), and the Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement between us, our subsidiaries, and Citizens was terminated. We will continue to maintain a cash management account and certain letters of credit with Citizens and, accordingly, have entered into a certain Cash Management Agreement with Citizens, as well as certain Cash Pledge Agreements in amounts corresponding to the current outstanding letters of credits with customers.

The Warrant entitles Lind Global to purchase up to 1,283,732 shares of our Common Stock until February 23, 2027, at an exercise price of $1.94 per share, subject to customary adjustments described therein.  The Warrant is recorded at fair value upon issuance of $0.7 million and is classified as a current liability to be remeasured at each reporting period (see Note 8). The discount created by allocating proceeds to the Warrant results in a debt discount to be amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the Convertible Note.

The Company evaluated the Convertible Note and concluded that certain embedded redemption features are required to be accounted for as a derivative liability. Embedded redemption features were recorded at fair value upon issuance of $0.3 million and are classified as current liabilities to be remeasured at each reporting period (see Note 8). The discount created by allocating proceeds to the derivative liability results in a debt discount to be amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the Convertible Notes. The Warrant is accounted for as a derivative liability based on certain features included within the Convertible Note which caused the Company to not be able to assert that it would have sufficient shares in all cases to be able to settle the warrant. As such, the initial proceeds (approximately $4.8 million, net of original issue discounts and other payments to lender) were allocated first to the fair value of the Warrant with the residual allocated to the Convertible Note host instrument. The proceeds allocated to the Convertible Note were further allocated first to the bifurcated derivative liability based on its fair value with the residual being allocated to the Convertible Note host instrument.

The direct and incremental costs incurred are allocated to the Convertible Note and the Warrant based on a systematic and rational approach. The costs allocated to the Warrant have been expensed as incurred while those allocated to the Convertible Note have been capitalized and will be amortized as interest expense over the life of the Convertible Note based on the effective interest rate. The Company will record ongoing changes to the fair value of the derivative liabilities as other non-operating income (expense).

The Convertible Note was evaluated as a potentially dilutive security in both periods of loss and income for diluted earnings per share purposes. The Warrant is considered a participating security and was not included in the calculation of basic earnings per share for the period ended March 31, 2023 as Company reflected net loss for this period. The Warrant will be included in the calculation of basic earnings per share in periods of net income.

The issuance costs with respect to the Convertible Note, which are recorded as a debt discount, are deferred and amortized using effective interest method as additional interest expense over the terms of the Convertible Note.

The Company incurred total interest expense related to the Convertible Note, including the amortization of the various discounts, of $303 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023, respectively.

Revolving Line of Credit

In February 2022, using proceeds from the Convertible Note, we repaid in full, all outstanding indebtedness of $1.8 million owed to Citizens, and the Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement between us, our subsidiaries, and Citizens was terminated. Certain letters of credit remain in place with Citizens. As of March 31, 2023, we had five letters of credit totaling $1.1 million outstanding to certain customers which were secured with restricted cash.
