The Company entered into a loan with an unrelated third party (the “Third Party Debt”) during 2014 for a principal amount of $2.5 million. The loan bore interest at 6% and had an original maturity date of January 15, 2015. In December 2014, the maturity date was extended to January 15, 2016 at the same interest rate and in early 2016 the maturity date was further extended to January 15, 2017 at the same interest rate.  In the third quarter of 2016 the Company repaid $2.5 million of outstanding principal, plus accrued interest, on the Third Party Debt, and terminated the loan agreement with the third party.  

The Company’s related party debt (the “Street Capital Loan”) was originally entered into in 2003 and accrued interest at 10% per annum compounded quarterly from the date funds were advanced. The Street Capital Loan was originally secured by the assets of the Company.

In 2014, following Street Capital’s distribution of its ownership interest in HGI to Street Capital shareholders as a dividend in kind, the unpaid balance of the Street Capital Loan began accruing interest at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of the Wall St. Journal (“WSJ”) prime rate + 2.0%, or the maximum rate allowable by law. As of December 31, 2015, the interest rate on the loan was 5.50%. In the third quarter of 2016, following an amendment to the loan agreement, the Street Capital Loan began accruing interest at a rate per annum equal to the WSJ prime rate + 1.0%.  The Company also agreed to a monthly payment schedule to begin in the third quarter of 2016, and Street Capital removed the security from the Company’s assets.  As of December 31, 2016, the interest rate on the loan was 4.75%.  See Note 13 for further discussion of transactions with Street Capital.

In the first quarter of 2016, the Company entered into a related party loan with a trust controlled by certain executive officers of the Company.  The Company received proceeds of $0.4 million.  The loan accrued interest at 10% per annum and was payable within 90 days of the loan date.  The Company repaid the loan plus accrued interest of $8,000 in March 2016.    

 

In the third quarter of 2016, the Company entered into a related party loan with both an entity owned by certain executive officers of the Company (the “Entity”) and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.  The Company received proceeds of $0.7 million.  The loan accrued interest at 10% per annum and was payable within 180 days of the loan date.  The Company repaid the loan plus accrued interest of $19,000 as of December 31, 2016.  

In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company entered into a related party secured promissory note with the Entity for a revolving line of credit (the “Line of Credit”).  Under the terms of the Line of Credit, the Company received a revolving line of credit with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $1.5 million.  Interest under the Line of Credit is charged at a variable rate.  Aggregate loans under the Line of Credit up to $1.0 million incur interest at a variable rate per annum based on the rate charged to the Entity by its bank, plus 2.0%.  Amounts outstanding at any time in excess of $1.0 million incur interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum.  The Company is required to pay the Entity an annual commitment fee of $15,000, payable on a monthly basis, and due regardless of amounts drawn against the line.  Further, the Entity is eligible to participate in the net profits and net losses of certain industrial auction principal and guarantee transactions entered into by the Company on or after January 1, 2017, and consummated on or prior to the maturity date.  Principal transactions are those in which the Company purchases assets for resale.  Guarantee transactions are those in which the Company guarantees its client a minimum amount of proceeds from the auction.  The Line of Credit matures at the earlier of (i) three years from the date of the Agreement, (ii) the termination of the Entity’s line of credit with its bank, or (iii) forty-five (45) days following the date the Company closes a new credit facility with a financial institution.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company has not drawn on the Line of Credit.
