The Company currently has a $15,000,000 line of credit agreement with Citizen’s Business Bank (the “Bank”).  On December 4, 2019, the Company entered into a Change in Terms Agreement dated November 27, 2019 with the Bank (the “Amendment”), which modified the Company’s $10,000,000 line of credit between the Company and the Bank to increase the maximum amount that may be borrowed thereunder from $10.0 million to $15.0 million. In addition, the Amendment removed the Company’s interest rate options but provided that in no event would such interest rate be less than 3.5% per annum.  The expiration date of the line of credit under the line of credit agreement is July 5, 2021.  The amounts outstanding under this line of credit as of May 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019 are currently all under the default variable interest index rate of 3.5% and 4.75%, respectively.  Borrowings are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The amounts outstanding under this line of credit as of May 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019 were $7,033,000 and $5,772,000, respectively. The line of credit agreement contains certain nonfinancial and financial covenants, including the maintenance of certain financial ratios. As of May 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

In September 2019, Bisco entered into Commercial Lease Agreement (the “Hunter Lease”) with the Glen F. Ceiley and Barbara A. Ceiley Revocable Trust (the “Trust”), which is the grantor trust of Glen Ceiley, our Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board and the Company’s majority shareholder.  Under the Hunter Lease, Bisco has leased from the Trust approximately 80,000 square feet of office and warehouse space located at 5037 and 5065 East Hunter Avenue, Anaheim, California (the “Hunter Property”), which serves as the Company’s new corporate headquarters. The Hunter Lease has a term that expires on August 31, 2029.  The Company also entered into a new Loan Agreement with the Bank to borrow up to $5,000,000 (the “Construction Loan”) for the primary purpose of financing tenant improvements at the Hunter Property. The Construction Loan is a line of credit evidenced by a Promissory Note in the principal amount of up to $5,000,000 with a maturity date of May 15, 2027. The terms of the Construction Loan provide that the Company may only request advances through July 15, 2020, and thereafter, the Construction Loan will convert to a term loan. Interest on the Construction Loan is payable monthly, subject to a variable interest rate based on the Bank’s internal prime rate, but in no event would such interest rate be less than 3.5% per annum or the maximum interest rate permitted under law (3.5% and 5.25% at May 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019, respectively).  Concurrent with the execution of this Construction Loan, Bisco entered into a commercial security agreement, dated July 12, 2019, with the Bank, pursuant to which Bisco granted the Bank a security interest in substantially all of Bisco’s personal property to secure Bisco’s obligations under the Construction Loan. The outstanding balance of the Construction Loan at May 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019 was $5,027,000 and $342,000, respectively.

On May 15, 2017, the Company entered into a $5,400,000 loan agreement with the Bank (the “Lakeview Loan”). The proceeds of the loan were used to purchase the building that housed the Company’s then corporate headquarters and distribution center located in Anaheim, California (the “Lakeview Property”).  In September 2019, Bisco entered into a Purchase Agreement to sell the Lakeview Property for a cash sale price of $7,075,000, which closed escrow on November 19, 2019. Upon the closing of escrow, Bisco used the proceeds from the sale to repay all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Lakeview Loan. No amounts were outstanding on the Lakeview Loan at May 31, 2020. As of August 31, 2019, the Company owed $5,484,000. The Company leased back the building from the buyer until mid-March, when the Company’s corporate headquarters was moved to the Hunter Property.
