PNC Loan Agreement
As noted in Note C, Nu Aire Acquisition, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with PNC on November 1, 2024. The loans governed by the Loan Agreement include (i) a $20.0 million committed senior secured revolving line of credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which contains an option to increase the facility upon request by the Company and approval by PNC, in its discretion, by an additional $10.0 million; and (ii) a $15.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan”). The Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan mature on November 1, 2029. The Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan can be paid at any time without penalty.
For the Revolving Credit Facility, the interest rate will be selected by the Company at each advance from one of two options. Option one is a base rate option. Option 2 is a daily secured overnight financing rate. There is an unused fee of 0.15% to 0.25%, determined by the ratio of senior debt to the Company’s EBITDA, of the unused daily balance of the Revolving Credit Facility. For the Term Loan, the principal will be paid in 60 substantially equal monthly installments commencing on November 1, 2024. Interest will be paid at the same time and calculated on the outstanding principal balance at an interest rate equal to the rate under Option 2 of the Revolving Credit Facility.
At January 31, 2025, no advances were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. Amounts available under the Revolving Credit Facility were $20.0 million at January 31, 2025. The borrowing rate under the Revolving Credit Facility was 5.94% as of January 31, 2025.
The Loan Agreement has customary reporting covenants. The principal financial covenants require that (1) the Company maintain on a consolidated basis a ratio of senior funded indebtedness to EBITDA of not more than 2.50 to 1.00 and (2) a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.20 to 1.00. The Loan Agreement also contains covenants prohibiting under certain circumstances (1) the incurrence of certain indebtedness, (2) the granting of security interests by the Company to persons other than PNC, (3) the delivery of guaranties for debts of third parties, and (4) certain transactions not in the ordinary course of business. At January 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Loan Agreement.
Seller Notes
As noted in Note C, Nu Aire Acquisition, $23.0 million of the aggregate purchase price paid in the Nu Aire Acquisition was paid by the issuance of subordinated seller notes (the "Seller Notes") entered into by the Company on November 1, 2024. The Seller Notes will accrue interest at 8% per annum and will mature on November 1, 2027, at which time the outstanding principal amount and all unpaid accrued interest will become due and payable by the Company. The Company accrued $463,000 in PIK interest for the three-month period ended January 31, 2025.
The Seller Notes may be prepaid, in full or in part, any time without prepayment penalty, premium, or other fee; subject, however, to each seller’s obligation not to accept any prepayment under the Seller Notes until all Secured Claims (as defined in the Seller Notes) have been paid to PNC. The Company’s obligations under the Seller Notes are secured by a security agreement entered into between the Company and each shareholder of Nu Aire immediately prior to the completion of the acquisition (the "Sellers"), pursuant to which the Sellers have the option to cause the Company to issue shares of the Company’s common stock to the Sellers, solely upon the occurrence of an event of default.
The rights of the Sellers to receive payments under the Seller Notes are subordinate to the rights of PNC under the Loan Agreement pursuant to a separate subordination agreement that the Sellers entered into with PNC on November 1, 2024 in connection with the Transaction.
Mid Cap Revolving Credit Facility
At April 30, 2024, advances of $3.0 million were outstanding under the Company's previous revolving credit facility with Mid Cap Funding IV Trust (the "Mid Cap Revolving Credit Facility"). The amounts available under the Mid Cap Revolving Credit Facility was $11.6 million at April 30, 2024. The borrowing rate under the Mid Cap Revolving Credit Facility was 9.54% as of April 30, 2024. At April 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Mid Cap Revolving Credit Facility.
On September 30, 2024, the Company terminated the Mid Cap Revolving Credit Facility. At the time of termination, there was a $3.0 million balance outstanding under the Mid Cap Revolving Credit Facility, which was paid off in full as part of the termination. The Company incurred $0.5 million in related expenses as a result of the termination.
