6.Term Debt and Line of Credit

ABL Credit Facility

On November 18, 2015, the Company entered into the ABL Credit Facility. The ABL Credit Facility provides for a five-year, $50.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The ABL Credit Facility also provides that, under certain conditions, we may increase the aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding thereunder by up to $10.0 million. Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a base rate or the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The ABL Credit Facility will mature, and the commitments thereunder will terminate, on November 17, 2020.

Events of default under the ABL Credit Facility include customary events such as a cross-default provision with respect to other material debt. The ABL Credit Facility requires us to, among other things, comply with a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the ABL Credit Facility) if our liquidity as of the date of any determination is less than the greater of (i) 12.5% of the Maximum Revolver Amount ($50.0 million) and (ii) $6.125 million, subject to certain conditions. As of the date this Form 10-Q was filed with the SEC, we would not be able to comply with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant if our liquidity were deemed to have fallen below the applicable threshold.

At May 11, 2017, we were in discussions with the lenders under the ABL Credit Facility regarding an extension of the temporary waiver of the Going Concern Covenant Default from May 15, 2017 to July 17, 2017, as well as certain other amendment to such Credit Facility.

As of April 1, 2017, there was $27.2 million outstanding under the ABL Credit Facility and the net availability thereunder was $8.8 million.

Term debt consisted of the following as of April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands):

Term Loan Credit Facility

Also on November 18, 2015 and concurrent with the execution of the ABL Credit Facility, Inventure Foods and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Term Loan Credit Facility. The Term Loan Credit Facility provides for a $85.0 million senior secured term loan that matures on November 17, 2020. The Term Loan Credit Facility also provides that, under certain conditions, we may increase the aggregate principal amount of term loans outstanding thereunder by up to $25.0 million. Borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a base rate or LIBOR plus, in each case, an applicable margin.

The Term Loan Credit Facility contains customary negative covenants and also requires the Company, together with its subsidiaries, to comply with a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and a Total Leverage Ratio. The first Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and Total Leverage Ratio measurement period was the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2016. On March 9, 2016, the Company entered into that certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement, with BSP, as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment amended the Term Loan Credit Facility to defer the Company’s obligation to comply with the Total Leverage Ratio until the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2016.

On September 27, 2016, the Company entered into that certain Second Amendment to Credit Agreement with BSP, as the administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment defers compliance with the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenants until the second quarter of fiscal 2017, requires the Company to comply with a minimum EBITDA target covenant commencing with the month ended April 30, 2017 (the “EBIDTA Covenant”), and increases the Base Rate Margin and the Libor Rate Margin, each as defined in the Term Loan Credit Facility) thereunder by 100 basis points. The Second Amendment also amends the fees payable to the lenders in the event of prepayment and restricts the Company’s ability to raise Curative Equity (as defined in the Second Amendment) until the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017.

We did not meet the minimum EBITDA Covenant (the “EBIDTA Covenant Default”). On May 10, 2017, we entered into the Third Amendment. Under the terms of the Third Amendment, the lenders granted the Company (i) an extension of the temporary waiver of the Going Concern Covenant Default from May 15, 2017 to July 17, 2017, and (ii) a temporary waiver of the EBITDA Covenant Default, until July 17, 2017. The Third Amendment also requires that the Company comply with a minimum EBITDA target covenant commencing with the fiscal month ending June 30, 2017, measured over the 12-months then ended, and increases the Company’s prepayment fees in the event of a payment or prepayment of principal under the Term Loan Credit Facility (excluding regularly scheduled principal payments).

Equipment Loans

In August 2015, we entered into an equipment term loan with Banc of America Leasing & Capital LLC for $3.1 million to finance new kettles and related equipment for our Goodyear, Arizona facility. The equipment term loan accrues interest at a rate of 3.07% and will be repaid over 60 recurring monthly payments commencing May 2016.

In August 2014, we entered into two separate equipment term loans with Banc of America Leasing & Capital LLC. One for $2.6 million to finance equipment to be used at the Company’s Rader Farms facility, and the other for $1.9 million to finance equipment to be used at Willamette Valley Fruit Company. Both of these equipment term loans accrue interest at a rate of 2.35% and will be repaid over 60 recurring monthly payments commencing September 15, 2014.

Debt Classification

In accordance with FASB Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 470-10-45 on Debt Presentation, all of the Company’s outstanding debt has been reclassified in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as a current liability as of April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Absent the Second Amendment, the Company would not have been in compliance with the Total Leverage Ratio and Fixed Charge Ratio covenants as of April 1, 2017. Unless we engage in a strategic transaction that enables us to pay down or refinance our debt, or we secure a waiver from our lenders or a further loan amendment to the Term Loan Credit Facility, we will not be in compliance with our financial covenants at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2017 or, in the case of the minimum EBITDA target, by the month ending June 30, 2017 (as required by the Third Amendment). As previously announced, the Company commenced a comprehensive strategic and financial review of the Company’s operations and engaged Rothschild Inc. to serve as its financial advisor to assist the Company in this process, including the pursuit of value-enhancing initiatives including, a sale of the Company, a sale of assets of the Company or other strategic business combination, or other capital structure optimization opportunities. This comprehensive strategic and financial review remains ongoing as of the date this Form 10-Q was filed with the SEC. There can be no assurances that these efforts will result in a completion of a transaction or, if one is completed, that it will be on favorable terms. A default under either the Term Loan Credit Facility or ABL Credit Facility would trigger a default under the other Credit Facility and certain of our equipment lease financing arrangements, as these facilities each contain cross-default provisions. As such, we classified all of our outstanding debt as a current liability.
