| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On October 28, 2021, Payoneer Early Payments Inc. (“PEPI”), a wholly-owned second tier subsidiary of Payoneer Global Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Receivables Loan and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and among GCA SPV I LLC (“Borrower”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PEPI, Viola Credit VI, L.P. and Viola Credit Alternative Lending FNX SPV, L.P. (the “Lenders”), and Viola Credit Alternative Lending Management 2018 L.P. (collectively, the “Parties”), for the purpose of external financing of capital advance activity.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Parties have agreed that the Lenders will make available to the Borrower an initial committed amount of $25,000,000, which may be increased at the request of the Borrower, and with the consent of the Lenders, in $25,000,000 increments up to $100,000,000. Borrowings will be secured by the assets of the Borrower, which primarily consist of merchant cash advances originated by PEPI and sold to the Borrower. PEPI will also pledge the equity of the Borrower to the Lenders.
The Agreement stipulates a borrowing base calculated at an advance rate of 80% out of the eligible portfolio outstanding receivables balance, and that borrowings under the facility bear interest as follows: LIBOR + 9.00% per annum if the commitment amount is $25,000,000; LIBOR + 7.75% per annum, if the commitment amount is $50,000,000; LIBOR + 7.50% per annum, if the commitment amount is $75,000,000; LIBOR + 7.00% per annum, if the commitment amount is $100,000,000. During certain events, the applicable rate goes up by 2.00% per annum. The revolving period of the facility is set at 36 months from the Closing Date. The maturity date is 42 months from the Closing Date.
The recourse under the Agreement is limited to Borrower’s assets, and no other Payoneer entity guarantees repayment by the Borrower. Lenders may assign the loans under the facility to third parties with the Borrower’s reasonable consent, but they may not assign the loans to any competitor of the Company.
The Agreement includes customary representations and warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants of the Borrower and PEPI with respect to operation of their businesses following the transaction contemplated by the Agreement, including, among others financial covenants, tested quarterly at Payoneer Global Inc. level, including maintaining minimum amounts of tangible equity and unrestricted cash.
The facility will terminate 36 months following the closing date of the transaction, unless terminated earlier, either at the request of the Borrower or if an event of default occurs; or later if the maturity date is extended upon agreement of the parties. The Agreement contains customary events of default provisions in favor of the Lenders.
Prepayments are permitted under the Agreement, provided that any termination of commitments during the following time periods will trigger certain prepayment penalties if done prior to the lapse of 24 months from the Closing Date.
A copy of the Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and the foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.
