Term Loan Debt (through May 31, 2022)

On December 30, 2021, Xcel, as Borrower, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, IM Brands, LLC, JR Licensing, LLC, H Licensing, LLC, C Wonder Licensing, LLC, Xcel Design Group, LLC, Judith Ripka Fine Jewelry, LLC, H Heritage Licensing, LLC, Xcel-CT MFG, LLC and Gold Licensing, LLC, as Guarantors (each a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with FEAC, as lead arranger and as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders party to the Loan Agreement, and the financial institutions party thereto as lenders (the “Lenders”). Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Lenders made a term loan in the aggregate amount of $29.0 million (the “Term Loan”). The proceeds of the Term Loan were used for the purpose of refinancing existing

indebtedness (i.e., previous term loan debt), to pay fees, costs, and expenses incurred in connection with entering into the Loan Agreement, and for working capital purposes.

Upon entering into the Loan Agreement, Xcel paid a 1.75% closing fee to FEAC for the benefit of the Lenders; the Company also paid approximately $0.5 million of various legal and other fees in connection with the execution of the Loan Agreement. These fees and costs totaling approximately $0.97 million were deferred on the Company’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 as a reduction of the carrying value of the Term Loan, and commencing in 2022 were being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Term Loan using the effective interest method.

The New Term Loan was to mature on April 14, 2025. Principal on the New Term Loan was payable in quarterly installments of $625,000 on each of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, commencing on March 31, 2022 and ending on March 31, 2025, with a final payment of $20,875,000 due on the maturity date of April 14, 2025.

Under the Loan Agreement, Xcel had the right upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to prepay all or any portion of the Term Loan and accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Based on the terms of the Loan Agreement, when the Term Loan was repaid in full on May 31, 2022, Xcel was required to pay a prepayment premium of five percent (5.00%), which amounted to approximately $1.4 million.

For the current quarter and prior year quarter, the Company incurred interest expense (including both interest paid in cash and the amortization of deferred finance costs) related to term loan debt of approximately $0.48 million and $0.52 million, respectively. The effective interest rate related to term loan debt was approximately 9.8% and 9.0% for the current quarter and prior year quarter, respectively.

For the current six months and prior year six months, the Company incurred interest expense (including both interest paid in cash and the amortization of deferred finance costs) related to term loan debt of approximately $1.19 million and $0.80 million, respectively. The effective interest rate related to term loan debt was approximately 9.8% and 7.8% for the current quarter and prior year quarter, respectively.
