Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

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

 

On November 22, 2022, certain subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”) of BK Technologies Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Invoice Purchase and Security Agreement (the “PSA”) with Alterna Capital Solutions LLC (the “Lender”) providing for the purchase by the Lender of certain of the Subsidiaries’ accounts receivable.

 

Pursuant to the PSA, the Subsidiaries agree to sell eligible accounts receivable to the Lender for an amount equal to the face amount of each account receivable less a reserve percentage. The maximum amount potentially available to be deployed by the Lender at any given time is $15 million. The Subsidiaries have agreed to pay a funds usage fee equal to the per annum rate equal to the sum of the prime rate plus 1.85% of the unpaid face amount due on all purchased accounts receivable, minus a reserve account.

 

The PSA provides for the payment of fees by the Subsidiaries and includes customary representations and warranties, indemnification provisions, covenants and events of default. Subject in some cases to cure periods, amounts outstanding under the PSA may be accelerated for typical defaults including, but not limited to, the failure to make payments when due, the failure to perform any covenant, the inaccuracy of representations and warranties, the occurrence of debtor-relief proceedings, and the occurrence of unpermitted liens against the purchased accounts receivable and collateral. The Subsidiaries have granted the Lender a security interest in all of their respective personal property to secure their obligations under the PSA.

 

The PSA provides for an initial twelve (12) month term, followed by automatic annual renewal terms unless the Subsidiaries provide written notice pursuant to the PSA prior to the end of any term.

 

In connection with the PSA, the Subsidiaries delivered a Guaranty (the “Cross Guaranty”), cross-guarantying the prompt payment and performance of the liabilities and obligations of the other Subsidiary to the Lender under the PSA, and the Company delivered a Commercial Guaranty (the “Parent Guaranty”) to the Lender, guaranteeing the prompt payment and performance of the liabilities and obligations of the Subsidiaries to the Lender under the PSA.

 

The foregoing summary of the PSA, the Cross Guaranty, and the Parent Guaranty do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the PSA, the Cross Guaranty, and the Guaranty, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
