On November 14, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), nLIGHT, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated September 24, 2018 (as amended, amended and restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) with Pacific Western Bank (the “Bank”).

The Amendment modifies a negative covenant in the Loan Agreement to permit repurchases of the Company’s stock up to a certain amount without the Bank’s prior written consent. From the Effective Date through January 1, 2021, up to an additional $10,000,000 in aggregate stock repurchases are permitted, and from January 2, 2021 through the maturity date of the Loan Agreement, up to an additional $5,000,000 in aggregate stock repurchases are permitted.

The foregoing description of the Amendment is a summary, is not complete, and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the actual Amendment, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

On November 14, 2019, the Company issued a press release announcing the completion of the acquisition of Nutronics, Inc., a leading developer of coherently combined lasers and beam control systems (BCS) for high-energy laser (HEL) systems serving the defense market, for $17.5 million in cash and $15.8 million of restricted stock units that will be awarded as part of ongoing employment agreements.
