Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Amendment to Credit Agreement
(1) On June 22, 2011, DPAC Technologies Corp., a California corporation (the Company) and its wholly owned subsidiary, QuaTech, Inc., an Ohio corporation (QuaTech) entered into a Fifth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the Amendment), effective as of June 14, 2011, to the Credit Agreement dated January 30, 2008 (the Credit Agreement) among the Company, QuaTech and Fifth Third Bank, an Ohio banking corporation (Bank). The material terms of the Credit Agreement were previously reported in the Companys current reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 5, 2008 (the February 5, 2008 Current Report), April 5, 2010 (the April 5, 2010 Current Report), September 20, 2010 (the September 20, 2010 Current Report) and March 31, 2011 (the March 31, 2011 Current Report).
Pursuant to the Amendment, the Credit Agreement has been amended to extend the maturity date to September 5, 2011. The other modifications to the Credit Agreement relating to the maximum amount that the Company and QuaTech may borrow and the interest rates applicable to such borrowings previously reported in the April 5, 2010 Current Report are unchanged by the most recent amendment.
In connection with the Amendment, the Company must pay to the Bank an extension fee of $32,500, of which $7,500 was paid in connection with the signing of the Amendment and the remainder of which ($25,000) is due not later than September 5, 2011 (though the second installment is not required to be paid if the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement is paid in full prior to September 5, 2011).
Additionally, the Bank waived certain existing events of default under specified provisions of the Credit Agreement, but reserved its rights under other provisions of the Credit Agreement with respect to certain continuing events of default, which include the failure to repay the amounts due under the Credit Agreement and the acquisition of certain assets from Socket Mobile, Inc. (as reported by the Company in its Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 30, 2009) without the Banks consent. Thus, the Bank has reserved its rights under the default provisions of the Credit Agreement, as amended, with respect to such events of default. All other terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement remain unchanged by the Amendment.
The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment to the Credit Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and by reference to the Credit Agreement previously filed as Exhibit 10.3 to the February 5, 2008 Current Report, and Exhibits 10.1 to the April 5, 2010 Current Report, September 20, 2010 Current Report and March 31, 2011 Current Report, which are hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
