On November 8, 2019, the Company and Bronco Research Services LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Purchaser”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Pre-Clinical Research Services, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Seller”), and its shareholder. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the Company will indirectly acquire (the “PCRS Acquisition”) substantially all of the assets of Seller used or useful by Seller in connection with Seller's provision of GLP and non-GLP preclinical testing for the pharmaceutical and medical device industries. The consideration for the PCRS acquisition consists of $1,500,000 in cash, subject to certain adjustments, 240,000 of the Company’s common shares and an unsecured promissory note in the initial principal amount of $800,000 made by Purchaser. The Company intends to fund the cash portion of the acquisition purchase price with cash on hand and net proceeds from the refinancing of its credit arrangements with First Internet Bank.

The Company also purchased certain real property located in Fort Collins, Colorado, comprising the main facility for the Seller’s business and additional property located next to the facility available for future expansion, for $2,500,000. As contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a lease arrangement for an ancillary property used by Seller’s business, located in Livermore, Colorado.

In order to finance the PCRS Acquisition and the real property purchase, as well as provide additional capital to fund growth efforts, the Company amended and restated its credit arrangements with First Internet Bank (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) to, among other things, (i) increase the principal amount of the Company’s amended and restated revolving note from $3,500,000 to $5,000,000 with a maturity of January 31, 2021 and interest payments only until maturity at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of (a) four percent (4%), or (b) the sum of the Prime Rate plus Zero Basis Points (0.0%), which rate shall change concurrently with the Prime Rate, (ii) add a capital expenditure line of credit in the principal amount of $3,000,000 with a maturity of December 31, 2020 and interest payments only until maturity at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of (a) four percent (4%), or (b) the sum of the Prime Rate plus Fifty Basis Points (0.5%), which rate shall change concurrently with the Prime Rate, (iii) add a new term loan in the principal amount of $1,500,000 with a maturity of June 1, 2025, interest at a fixed per annum rate equal to four percent (4%) and with interest payments only commencing January 1, 2020 through June 1, 2020, with monthly payments of principal and interest thereafter through maturity and (iv) add an additional new term loan in the principal amount of $1,939,000 with a maturity of December 1, 2024 and interest at a fixed per annum rate equal to four percent (4%), with payments of principal and interest due monthly through maturity.

Following the Credit Agreement Amendment, the Company’s obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by BAS Evansville, Inc. (“BASEV”), Seventh Wave Laboratories, LLC (“Seventh Wave”), BASi Gaithersburg LLC (“BG”), as well as the Purchaser (collectively, the "Guarantors"), each a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Guarantor's obligations under their respective guaranties are secured by first priority security interests in substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors, respectively, as well as mortgages on the Company’s, BASEV’s and the Purchaser’s facilities in West Lafayette, Indiana, Evansville, Indiana, and Fort Collins, Colorado, respectively, and pledges of the Company’s ownership interests in its subsidiaries.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement includes financial covenants consisting of (i) a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.25 to 1.0, tested quarterly and measured on a trailing twelve (12) month basis and (ii) beginning March 31, 2020 a Cash Flow Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), tested quarterly, as follows: not to exceed (a) as of March 31, 2020, 5.00 to 1.00, (b) as of June 30, 2020, 4.50 to 1.00, (c) as of September 30, 2020, 4.25 to 1.00 and (d) as of December 31, 2020 and each quarter thereafter, 4.00 to 1.00.
