Term Note and Line of Credit

On October 30, 2018, the Company amended and restated the 2014 Credit Agreement by entering into (i) a three-year senior credit facility agreement (the 2018 Credit Agreement) with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the lenders named from time to time as parties thereto (the 2018 Lenders), for an aggregate amount of up to $42,500, including a term loan (2018 Term Loan) of $22,500 and a reducing revolving credit facility (the 2018 Revolver) of up to $20,000 initially and reducing to $15,000 on December 31, 2019, each to be used for general corporate purposes, including the refinancing of the Company’s then-outstanding indebtedness under the 2014 Credit Agreement as described below, (ii) a Security Agreement with respect to the grant by the Company of a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company in order to secure the obligations of the Company under the 2018 Credit Agreement, and (iii) Pledge Agreements with respect to the grant by the Company of a security interest in 65% of the capital stock of each of KVH Industries A/S and KVH Industries U.K. Limited held by the Company in order to secure the obligations of the Company under the 2018 Credit Agreement. On the closing date, the Company repaid $17,225 on the 2014 Term Loan and refinanced its remaining balance. On the closing date, the Company also borrowed $5,000 under the 2018 Revolver.

The Company is required to make principal repayments on the 2018 Term Loan in the amount of $563 at the end of each of the first four three-month periods following the closing (ending with the period ending September 30, 2019); thereafter, the principal repayment amount increases to $703 for the four succeeding three-month periods (ending with the period ending September 30, 2020) and further increases to $844 for each succeeding three-month period (ending with the period ending June 30, 2021) until the maturity of the loan on October 30, 2021. The first principal payment on the 2018 Term Loan was due on December 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2019, due to the timing of the payment schedule, no payment occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and there are five quarters of principal repayments outstanding in the current portion of long-term debt. On October 30, 2021, the entire remaining principal balance of the 2018 Term Loan and the entire principal balance of any outstanding loans under the 2018 Revolver are due and payable, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, fees, and any other amounts due and payable under the 2018 Credit Agreement. The 2018 Credit Agreement contains provisions requiring the mandatory prepayment of amounts outstanding under the 2018 Term Loan and the 2018 Revolver under specified circumstances, including (i) 100% of the net cash proceeds from certain dispositions to the extent not reinvested in the Company’s business within a stated period, (ii) 50% of the net cash proceeds from stated equity issuances and (iii) 100% of the net cash proceeds from certain receipts above certain threshold amounts outside the ordinary course of business. The prepayments are first applied to the 2018 Term Loan, in inverse order of maturity, and then to the 2018 Revolver.

Loans under the 2018 Credit Agreement bear interest at varying rates determined in accordance with the 2018 Credit Agreement. Each Eurodollar Rate Loan, as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement, bears interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each interest period from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate or Eurodollar Rate, each as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement, as elected by the Company, plus the Applicable Margin, as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement, and each Base Rate Loan, as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement, bears interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate, as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement, plus the Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margin ranges from 1.50% to 2.375% on Eurodollar Rate Loans and from 0.50% to 1.375% on Base Rate Loans, each depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement. The highest Applicable Margin applies initially until the Compliance Certificate, as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement, is delivered for the quarter ending June 30, 2019 and subsequently when the Consolidated Leverage Ratio exceeds 2.50:1.00. Upon certain defaults, including failure to make payments when due, interest becomes payable at a higher default rate.

Borrowings under the 2018 Revolver are subject to the satisfaction of various conditions precedent at the time of each borrowing, including the continued accuracy of the Company’s representations and warranties and the absence of any default under the 2018 Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2019, there was $5,000 outstanding under the 2018 Revolver and the remaining balance of $15,000 was available for borrowing.

The 2018 Credit Agreement contains two financial covenants, a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio and a minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, each as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement. The Consolidated Leverage Ratio initially may not be greater than 3.00:1.00 and declines to 2.75:1.00 on September 30, 2019, to 2.50:1.00 on December 31, 2019 and to 2.00:1.00 on December 31, 2020. The Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio may not be less than 1.25:1.00.

The 2018 Credit Agreement imposes certain other affirmative and negative covenants, including without limitation covenants with respect to the payment of taxes and other obligations, compliance with laws, performance of material contracts, creation of liens, incurrence of indebtedness, investments, dispositions, fundamental changes, restricted payments, changes in the nature of the Company’s business, transactions with affiliates, corporate and accounting changes, and sale and leaseback arrangements.

The Company’s obligation to repay loans under the 2018 Credit Agreement could be accelerated upon an event of default under its terms, including certain failures to pay principal or interest when due, certain breaches of representations and warranties, the failure to comply with the Company’s affirmative and negative covenants under the 2018 Credit Agreement, a change of control of the Company, certain defaults in payment relating to other indebtedness, the acceleration of payment of certain other indebtedness, certain events relating to the liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership of the Company, the entry of certain judgments against the Company, certain Company property loss events, and certain events relating to the impairment of collateral or the 2018 Lenders' security interest therein.

Mortgage Loan

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had a mortgage loan (as amended, the Mortgage Loan) in the amount of $4,000 related to its headquarters facility in Middletown, Rhode Island. The loan term was ten years, with a principal amortization of 20 years. The interest rate was based on the BBA LIBOR Rate plus 2.00 percentage points. The Mortgage Loan was secured by the underlying property and improvements. The monthly mortgage payment was approximately $15, plus interest. Due to the difference in the term of the loan and amortization of the principal, a balloon payment of $2,551 was due on April 1, 2019.

As discussed in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements that were intended to hedge its mortgage interest obligations over the term of the Mortgage Loan by fixing the interest rates specified in the Mortgage Loan to 5.91% for half of the principal amount outstanding as of April 1, 2010 and 6.07% for the remaining half. In April 2019, the Company repaid in full the current balance of the Mortgage Loan.
