LOAN PAYABLE UNDER CREDIT AGREEMENT

8. LOAN PAYABLE UNDER CREDIT AGREEMENT

 

On March 6, 2015, FlexShopper, through a wholly-owned subsidiary (“Borrower”), entered into a credit agreement (as amended from time-to-time, the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as paying agent, various lenders from time to time party thereto and WE 2014-1, LLC, an affiliate of Waterfall Asset Management, LLC, as administrative agent and lender (“Lender”). On September 2022, WE 2014-1, LLC assigned 100% of its Commitments and all Loans to Powerscourt Investments 32, LP, an affiliate of Waterfall Asset Management, LLC. The interest rate charged on amounts borrowed was SOFR plus 11% per annum. The Commitment Termination Date was April 1, 2024.

 

On March 27, 2024, the Company refinanced all the obligations under the Credit Agreement owed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and all liens held by any of the Lenders, or the Administrative Agent were discharged and released. The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Company terminated the Credit Agreement.

 

On March 27, 2024, FlexShopper, through a wholly-owned subsidiary (“Borrower”), entered into a new credit agreement (the “2024 Credit Agreement”) with Computershare Trust Company, National Association as paying agent, various lenders from time to time party thereto and Powerscourt Investment 50, LP, an affiliate of Waterfall Asset Management, LLC, as administrative agent and lender (“Lender”). The Borrower is permitted to borrow funds under the 2024 Credit Agreement based on FlexShopper’s cash on hand and the Amortized Order Value of its Eligible Leases (as such terms are defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement) less certain deductions described in the 2024 Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the 2024 Credit Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Borrower may borrow up to $150,000,000 from the Lender until the Commitment Termination Date and must repay all borrowed amounts one year thereafter, on the date that is 12 months following the Commitment Termination Date (unless such amounts become due or payable on an earlier date pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement). The Commitment Termination Date is April 1, 2026. The Lender was granted a security interest in certain leases and loans as collateral under this Agreement. The interest rate charged on amounts borrowed is SOFR plus 9% per annum. The Company will pay the Lender a fee in an amount equal to 1% of the aggregate Commitments as of March 27, 2024, payable in 12 monthly installments on each interest payment date commencing April 2024. At March 31, 2024, amounts borrowed bear interest at 14.44%.

 

The 2024 Credit Agreement provides that FlexShopper may not incur additional indebtedness (other than expressly permitted indebtedness) without the permission of the Lender, and also prohibits payments of cash dividends on common stock. Additionally, the 2024 Credit Agreement includes covenants requiring FlexShopper to maintain a minimum amount of Equity Book Value, Liquidity and Cash, and maintain a certain ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Equity Book Value (each capitalized term, as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement). Upon a Permitted Change of Control, FlexShopper must refinance the debt under the 2024 Credit Agreement, subject to the payment of an early termination fee. A summary of the covenant requirements, and FlexShopper’s actual results at March 31, 2024, follows:

 

    March 31, 2024  
    Required
Covenant
    Actual
Position
 
Equity Book Value not less than   $ 16,452,246     $ 29,227,621  
Liquidity greater than     1,500,000       5,593,750  
Cash greater than     500,000       5,593,750  
Consolidated Total Debt to Equity Book Value ratio not to exceed     5.25       4.29  

 

The 2024 Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, including, among others, failures to make payment of principal and interest, breaches or defaults under the terms of the 2024 Credit Agreement and related agreements entered into with the Lender, breaches of representations, warranties or certifications made by or on behalf of FlexShopper in the 2024 Credit Agreement and related documents (including certain financial and expense covenants), deficiencies in the borrowing base, certain judgments against FlexShopper and bankruptcy events.

 

The Company borrowed under the Credit Agreement and under the 2024 Credit Agreement $10,611,690 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and $2,750,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company repaid under the Credit Agreement and under 2024 Credit Agreement $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and $2,575,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

 

Interest expense incurred under the Credit Agreement and under the 2024 Credit Agreement amounted to $4,285,346 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and $3,278,837 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The outstanding balance under the 2024 Credit Agreement was $107,066,690 as of March 31, 2024 and was $96,455,000 under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2023. Such amount is presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets net of unamortized issuance costs of $1,500,000 and $70,780 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Interest is payable monthly on the outstanding balance of the amounts borrowed. No principal is expected to be repaid in the next twelve months due to the Commitment Termination Date having been extended to April 1, 2026, or from reductions in the borrowing base. Accordingly, all principal is shown as a non-current liability at March 31, 2024.
