Note 3 - Revolving Line of Credit

In May 2023, we renewed our revolving line of credit (the “credit facility”) with Susser Bank, National Association (“Lender”) pursuant to a Business Loan Agreement (Asset Based) (the “Loan Agreement”), dated effective May 5, 2023. The obligations under the credit facility are secured by substantially all of our assets. Our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Vortech L.L.C., and VTC, L.L.C., jointly and severally guarantee our obligations under the credit facility.

The maximum amount of the credit facility is $1,500,000. The credit facility is subject to a borrowing base of the lesser of $1,500,000 and 80% of eligible accounts receivables, subject to customary exclusions and limitations. Certain accounts receivables subject to a vendor payment program with a customer are excluded from the definition of eligible accounts receivables under the credit facility. Borrowings under the credit facility will bear interest based on the U.S. Prime Rate as published in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Journal (effective rate of 8.50% at December 31, 2023) and such interest rate shall not be less than 3.50% per annum. In addition to interest payable on the principal amount of indebtedness outstanding from time to time under the credit facility, we paid a loan origination fee of 0.5%, payable in advance upon entering into the credit facility. The credit facility matures on May 5, 2024.

The credit facility requires that we maintain a minimum liquidity of $1,500,000 at all times.

The Loan Agreement and ancillary documents include customary affirmative covenants for secured transactions of this type, including maintaining adequate books and records, periodic financial reporting, compliance with laws, maintenance of insurance, maintenance of assets, timely payment of taxes, and notices of adverse events. The Loan Agreement and ancillary documents include customary negative covenants, including incurrence of other indebtedness, mergers, consolidations and transfers of assets and liens on our assets. The Loan Agreement and ancillary documents also include customary events of default, including payment defaults, failure to perform or observe terms, covenants or agreements included in the Loan Agreement and ancillary documents, insolvency and bankruptcy defaults, judgment defaults, material adverse chance defaults, and change of ownership defaults.

The maximum amount we would have been eligible to borrow at December 31, 2023 was approximately $110,000. There were no amounts outstanding under this credit facility at December 31, 2023.
