Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 1, 2019, RealNetworks, Inc. (the “Company”), Rhapsody International Inc., a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company, and RealNetworks Digital Music of California, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, (each, a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers”), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Western Alliance Bank (the “Bank”).

Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Bank will extend a revolving line of credit up to $10 million to the Borrowers. Borrowers may request advances in amounts, not to exceed $10 million in the aggregate, that are based on a borrowing base that comprises accounts receivable and direct-to-consumer subscription deposits. The proceeds of loans made under the Loan Agreement will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Borrowers have not requested a draw on the revolving line of credit, though may do so in future.

Borrowings under the Loan Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in the assets of each Borrower. Advances bear interest at a rate equal to one-half of one percent point (0.50%) above the prime rate, with monthly payments of interest only and principal due at the end of the two-year term. The Loan Agreement contains customary covenants for credit facilities of this nature, including financial covenants and minimum EBITDA levels.

The foregoing summary of the terms of the Loan Agreement is a general description only and does not purport to be complete.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information set forth under Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference.
