5.   Bank Loan Agreements

  

On September 7, 2022 we entered into a Third Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”), pertaining to our existing term loan and revolving credit facility (together, the “Senior Credit Facilities”), which amends that certain Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of August 2, 2021, as amended by the First Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of October 21, 2021, as amended by the Second Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of February 15, 2022 by and among Lantronix and SVB (collectively with the Amendment, the “Loan Agreement”).

 

The Amendment, among other things, provided for an additional term loan in the original principal amount of $5,000,000 that matures on August 2, 2025. The Senior Credit Facilities bears interest at Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or the Prime Rate, at the option of Lantronix, plus a margin that ranges from 3.10% to 4.10% in the case of Term SOFR and 1.50% to 2.50% in the case of the Prime Rate, depending on our total leverage with a Term SOFR floor of 1.50% and a Prime Rate floor of 3.25%. The Amendment reduced the minimum liquidity requirement from $5,000,000 to $4,000,000. As a condition to entering into the Amendment, we were obligated to pay a nonrefundable facility increase fee in the amount of $25,000. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Senior Credit Facilities were scheduled to mature on August 2, 2025. On September 3, 2024, we entered into a Fourth Amendment to our Loan Agreement, pursuant to which the maturity of our Senior Credit Facilities was extended to August 2, 2026. See Part II, Item 9B of this Report. The Senior Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all of our assets.

  

On April 3, 2023, we entered into a Letter Agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with SVB, which, among other matters, amended the Loan Agreement to reduce the former requirement to hold 85% of our company-wide cash balances at SVB to 50%, and provided a waiver of any event of default under the Loan Agreement for any failure to comply with this covenant prior to the date of the Letter Agreement.

Financial Covenants

 

The Senior Credit Facilities require Lantronix to comply with a minimum liquidity test, a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of June 30, 2024.

 

Liquidity

 

The Senior Credit Facilities require that we maintain a minimum liquidity of $4,000,000 at SVB, as measured at the end of each month.

 

Maximum leverage ratio

 

The Senior Credit Facilities require that we maintain a maximum leverage ratio, calculated as the ratio of funded debt to the consolidated trailing 12 month earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain other allowable exclusions of (i) 2.50 to 1.00 for each calendar quarter ending June 30, 2021 through and including September 30, 2022, (ii) 2.25 to 1.00 for each calendar quarter ending December 31, 2022 through and including September 30, 2023, and (iii) 2.00 to 1.00 for the calendar quarter ending December 31, 2023 and each calendar quarter thereafter.

  

Minimum fixed charge coverage ratio

 

The Senior Credit Facilities require that we maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, calculated as the ratio of consolidated trailing 12 month earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain other allowable exclusions, less capital expenditures and taxes paid, to the trailing twelve month principal and interest payments on all funded debt of 1.25 to 1.00 as measured at the end of each calendar quarter.

  

In addition, the Senior Credit Facilities contain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict Lantronix and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur liens, incur indebtedness, dispose of assets, make investments, make certain restricted payments, merge or consolidate and enter into certain speculative hedging arrangements. The Senior Credit Facilities include a number of events of default, including, among other things, non-payment defaults, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other materials indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults and material judgment defaults. If any event of default occurs (subject, in certain instances, to specified grace periods), the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding amounts under the Senior Credit Facilities may become due and payable immediately.
