In addition, the Company also agreed to certain amendments to the financial covenants. On October 27, 2022, the Company and the Credit Facility Borrowers entered into Amendment No. 27 and Joinder Agreement to the Credit and Security Agreement (“Amendment No. 27”) with MidCap Funding IV Trust as successor by assignment to MidCap and the lenders party thereto. Amendment No. 27, among other things, (i) increases the revolving loan commitment amount from $25,000 to $32,500 (the “Loan”), (ii) extends the commitment expiry date from October 27, 2022 to September 6, 2024, and (iii) modifies certain of the financial covenants. Pursuant to Amendment No. 27, as long as no default or event of default under the Credit and Security Agreement as amended by Amendment No. 27 exists, upon written request by the Company and with the prior written consent of the agent and lenders, the Loan may be increased by up to $10,000 in minimum amounts of $5,000 tranches each, for an aggregate loan commitment amount of $42,500. In addition, Amendment No. 27 increases the applicable margin from 4.0% to 4.25%, with respect to the Loan (other than Letter of Credit Liabilities (as defined in the Credit and Security Agreement)), and from 3.5% to 3.75% with respect to the Letter of Credit Liabilities. Amendment No. 27 also replaces the interest rate benchmark from LIBOR to SOFR and provides that the Loan shall bear interest at the sum of a term-based SOFR rate (plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.11448%) plus the Applicable Margin, subject to certain provisions for the replacement of SOFR with an alternate benchmark in connection with SOFR no longer being provided by its administrator.

NOTE 9 — ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FINANCING Midcap Funding X Trust On October 27, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 27 and Joinder Agreement to the Credit and Security Agreement (“Amendment No. 27”) with MidCap Funding IV Trust as successor by assignment to MidCap, dated April 8, 2015, which amended the Credit and Security Agreement.

In addition, Amendment No. 27 increases the applicable margin from 4.0% to 4.25%, with respect to the Loan (other than Letter of Credit Liabilities (as defined in the Credit and Security Agreement)), and from 3.5% to 3.75% with respect to the Letter of Credit Liabilities. Amendment No. 27 also replaces the interest rate benchmark from LIBOR to SOFR and provides that the Loan shall bear interest at the sum of a term-based SOFR rate (plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.11448%) plus the Applicable Margin, subject to certain provisions for the replacement of SOFR with an alternate benchmark in connection with SOFR no longer being provided by its administrator.

Upon the occurrence of any event of default, the facility will bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of: (i) 3.0% above the rate of interest applicable to such obligations immediately prior to the occurrence of the event of default; and (ii) the maximum rate allowable under law.

Due to the timing of select liabilities coming due we are in discussion with our lenders to determine the best manner to settle these liabilities. The balance of the MidCap facility as of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $14,698 and $18,176, respectively, and is included in Accounts receivable financing on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. White Oak Commercial Finance, LLC As a result of the Headway Acquisition, the Company’s wholly owned Headway subsidiary, had a line of credit with White Oak Commercial Finance, LLC (“White Oak”), that provided working capital and supports general corporate needs of Headway (the “White Oak Agreement”). Under the terms of the White Oak Agreement, the line of credit matures in June 2024. White Oak may terminate the Agreement at any time upon providing 30-days written notice. The White Oak Agreement was secured by all the assets of Headway and was personally guaranteed up to $1,000 by a former member of management of Headway. Under the terms of the White Oak Agreement, the maximum borrowing capacity was $10,000, The borrowing base was defined as the sum of the following: (a) 95% of the eligible ordinary receivables, as defined, and (b) the lessor of (i) $3,000 or (ii) 95% of the Company’s outstanding eligible unbilled receivables, as defined, less the sum of the following: (c) 100% of the undrawn amount of all letters of credit outstanding, (d) the special availability reserve, (e) the quarterly tax reserve and (f) the amount all other availability reserves in effect as such time. The line of credit bears interest at LIBOR plus 5.00% with a floor of 7.00% (7.00% at December 31, 2021) on all outstanding balances and 0.25% for any unused portion of the line of credit. At December 31, 2022, borrowings of $0 were outstanding under the credit facility. From time to time, White Oak caused letters of credit to be opened to be issued for Headway’s benefit. The aggregate face amount of all letters of credit outstanding became the letter of credit reserve, which reduced the borrowing base under the Agreement. Under the terms of the agreement the letter of credit sub-line was not to exceed $2,000. The Company was required to pay interest monthly on the face amount of all letters of credit at a rate of LIBOR plus 6.25%. At December 31, 2022, there were $0 of standby letters of credit that had been issued. The White Oak Agreement operated similarly to a factoring arrangement whereby Headway’s receivables were bought by White Oak. However, receivables purchased by White Oak are required to be repurchased by Headway in the event the Company’s customer disputes the invoice amount or if the receivable remains unpaid past a certain number of days from the invoice date. Due to the recourse provisions in the arrangement, Headway accounted for transactions under the credit facility as secured borrowings. As of October 27, 2022, the White Oak Agreement was paid in full and terminated. HSBC Invoice Finance (UK) Ltd — New Facility On February 8, 2018, CBSbutler, Staffing 360 Solutions Limited and The JM Group, entered into a new arrangement with HSBC Invoice Finance (UK) Ltd (“HSBC”) which provides for HSBC to purchase the subsidiaries’ accounts receivable up to an aggregate amount of £11,500 across all three subsidiaries. The terms of the arrangement provide for HSBC to fund 90% of the purchased accounts receivable upfront and a secured borrowing line of 70% of unbilled receivables capped at £1,000 (within the overall aggregate total facility of £11,500.) The arrangement has an initial term of 12 months, with an automatic rolling three-month extension and carries a service charge of 1.80%. On June 28, 2018, CML, the Company’s new subsidiary entered into a new agreement with a minimum term of 12 months for purchase of debt (“APD”) with HSBC, joining CBSbutler, Staffing 360 Solutions Limited and The JM Group (collectively, with CML, the “Borrowers”) as “Connected Clients” as defined in the APD. In 2021, the subsidiaries were reorganized and are now Staffing 360 Solutions Limited and Clement May. The new Connected Client APDs carry an aggregate Facility Limit of £20,000 across all Borrowers. The obligations of the Borrowers are secured by a fixed charge and a floating charge on the Borrowers’ respective accounts receivable and are subject to cross-company guarantees among the Borrowers. In addition, the secured borrowing line against unbilled receivables was increased to £1,500 for a period of 90 days. In July 2019, the aggregate Facility Limit was extended to £22,500 across all Borrowers. In January 2022, the secured borrowing line against unbilled receivables was terminated and fully paid down. Under ASU 2016-16, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force), the upfront portion of the sale of accounts receivable is classified within operating activities, while the deferred purchase price portion (or beneficial interest), once collected, is classified within investing activities. For the fiscal years ended December 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the collection of UK factoring facility deferred purchase price totaled $6,987 and $6,825, respectively.

Under the terms of this agreement, the Company is subject to affirmative covenants which are customary for financings of this type, including covenants to: (i) maintain good standing and governmental authorizations, (ii) provide certain information and notices to MidCap, (iii) deliver monthly reports and quarterly financial statements to MidCap, (iv) maintain insurance, (v) discharge all taxes, (vi) protect its intellectual property, and (vii) generally protect the collateral granted to MidCap.

Due to the timing of select liabilities coming due we are in discussion with our lenders to determine the best manner to settle these liabilities.

White Oak Commercial Finance, LLC

As a result of the Headway Acquisition, the Company’s wholly owned Headway subsidiary, had a line of credit with White Oak Commercial Finance, LLC (“White Oak”), that provided working capital and supports general corporate needs of Headway (the “White Oak Agreement”). Under the terms of the White Oak Agreement, the line of credit matures in June 2024. White Oak may terminate the Agreement at any time upon providing 30-days written notice. The White Oak Agreement was secured by all the assets of Headway and was personally guaranteed up to $1,000 by a former member of management of Headway.

Under the terms of the White Oak Agreement, the maximum borrowing capacity was $10,000, The borrowing base was defined as the sum of the following: (a) 95% of the eligible ordinary receivables, as defined, and (b) the lessor of (i) $3,000 or (ii) 95% of the Company’s outstanding eligible unbilled receivables, as defined, less the sum of the following: (c) 100% of the undrawn amount of all letters of credit outstanding, (d) the special availability reserve, (e) the quarterly tax reserve and (f) the amount all other availability reserves in effect as such time. The line of credit bears interest at LIBOR plus 5.00% with a floor of 7.00% (7.00% at December 31, 2021) on all outstanding balances and 0.25% for any unused portion of the line of credit. At December 31, 2022, borrowings of $0 were outstanding under the credit facility.

From time to time, White Oak caused letters of credit to be opened to be issued for Headway’s benefit. The aggregate face amount of all letters of credit outstanding became the letter of credit reserve, which reduced the borrowing base under the Agreement. Under the terms of the agreement the letter of credit sub-line was not to exceed $2,000. The Company was required to pay interest monthly on the face amount of all letters of credit at a rate of LIBOR plus 6.25%. At December 31, 2022, there were $0 of standby letters of credit that had been issued.

The White Oak Agreement operated similarly to a factoring arrangement whereby Headway’s receivables were bought by White Oak. However, receivables purchased by White Oak are required to be repurchased by Headway in the event the Company’s customer disputes the invoice amount or if the receivable remains unpaid past a certain number of days from the invoice date. Due to the recourse provisions in the arrangement, Headway accounted for transactions under the credit facility as secured borrowings.

As of October 27, 2022, the White Oak Agreement was paid in full and terminated.
