Domestic Credit Facilities

The Company and its domestic subsidiaries are parties to a credit facility with The PrivateBank and Trust Company. The credit facility, as amended, provides for:

§

an $8,000 revolving credit facility, with a $200 sub facility for letters of credit.  Under the revolving credit facility, the availability of funds depends on a borrowing base composed of stated percentages of the Company’s eligible trade receivables and eligible inventory, and eligible equipment less a reserve; and

 

§

a term loan in the original amount of $4,000.  

In February 2014, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries entered into a Sixth Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement  and Waiver with The PrivateBank and Trust Company. The amendment, among other things:  

§

extended the term loan and revolving loan maturity date to February 28, 2018, keeping the existing term loan amortization schedule in place;

 

§

increased the eligible accounts receivable borrowing percentage from eighty percent to eight-five percent for all eligible accounts other than two specific customers which will be ninety percent. Under the revolving credit facility as amended, the availability of funds depends on a borrowing base composed of stated percentages of the Company’s eligible trade receivables and inventory, less a reserve;

 

 

§

amended the applicable base rate margin, applicable LIBOR rate margin, applicable LOC fee and applicable non-use fee based on the then applicable leverage ratio;

 

§

amended the funded debt to EBITDA and fixed charge coverage covenants;

 

§

revised the definition of net income.

§

 approved the application of net proceeds from the IntriCon Tibbetts asset sale against amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility; and

 

§

waived certain financial covenant defaults as of December 31, 2013.

 

Due to the Sixth Amendment as described above, the term loan and the revolving loan maturity date has been extended to February 28, 2018. As a result, all of the borrowings under this agreement have been characterized as either a current or long-term liability on our balance sheet.

 

Loans under the credit facility are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries including a pledge of the stock of its domestic subsidiaries. Loans under the credit facility bear interest at varying rates based on the Company’s leverage ratio of funded debt / EBITDA, at the option of the Company, at:

 

§

the London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.75% - 4.00%, or

 

§

the base rate, which is the higher of (a) the rate publicly announced from time to time by the lender as its “prime rate” and (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, plus 0.00% - 1.25% ; in each case, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.

 

Interest is payable monthly in arrears, except that interest on LIBOR based loans is payable at the end of the one, two or three month interest periods applicable to LIBOR based loans. IntriCon is also required to pay a non-use fee equal to 0.25% per year of the unused portion of the revolving line of credit facility, payable quarterly in arrears.

 

Weighted average interest on our domestic credit facilities was 4.30%,  4.52%, and 3.93% for 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

The outstanding balance of the revolving credit facility was $4,450 and $4,360 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The total remaining availability on the revolving credit facility was approximately $1,682 and $2,689 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

The outstanding principal balance of the term loan, as amended, is payable in quarterly installments of $250 commencing in March 2014. Any remaining principal and accrued interest is payable on February 28, 2018. IntriCon is also required to use 100% of the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales (excluding inventory and certain other dispositions), sale of capital securities or issuance of debt to pay down the term loan.

The borrowers are subject to various covenants under the credit facility, including a maximum funded debt to EBITDA, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and maximum capital expenditure financial covenants. Under the credit facility, except as otherwise permitted, the borrowers may not, among other things: incur or permit to exist any indebtedness; grant or permit to exist any liens or security interests on their assets or pledge the stock of any subsidiary; make investments; be a party to any merger or consolidation, or purchase of all or substantially all of the assets or equity of any other entity; sell, transfer, convey or lease all or any substantial part of its assets or capital securities; sell or assign, with or without recourse, any receivables; issue any capital securities; make any distribution or dividend (other than stock dividends), whether in cash or otherwise, to any of its equity holders; purchase or redeem any of its equity interests or any warrants, options or other rights to equity; enter into any transaction with any of its affiliates or with any director, officer or employee of any borrower; be a party to any unconditional purchase obligations; cancel any claim or debt owing to it; make payment on or changes to any subordinated debt; enter into any agreement inconsistent with the provisions of the credit facility or other agreements and documents entered into in connection with the credit facility; engage in any line of business other than the businesses engaged in on the date of the credit facility and businesses reasonably related thereto; or permit its charter, bylaws or other organizational documents to be amended or modified in any way which could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the interests of the lender.  The Company was not in compliance with the fixed charge and leverage covenants under the credit facility as of December 31, 2013 and obtained a covenant waiver from The PrivateBank as part of the Sixth Amendment. 

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default (as defined in the credit facility), the lender may, among other things: terminate its commitments to the borrowers (including terminating or suspending its obligation to make loans and advances); declare all outstanding loans, interest and fees to be immediately due and payable; take possession of and sell any pledged assets and other collateral; and exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. In the event of the insolvency or bankruptcy of any borrower, all commitments of the lender will automatically terminate and all outstanding loans, interest and fees will be immediately due and payable. Events of default include, among other things, failure to pay any amounts when due; material misrepresentation; default in the performance of any covenant, condition or agreement to be performed that is not cured within 20 days after notice from the lender; default in the performance of obligations under certain subordinated debt, default in the payment of other indebtedness or other obligation with an outstanding principal balance of more than $50, or of any other term, condition or covenant contained in the agreement under which such obligation is created, the effect of which is to allow the other party to accelerate such payment or to terminate the agreements; a breach by a borrower under certain material agreements, the result of which breach is the suspension of the counterparty’s performance thereunder, delivery of a notice of acceleration or termination of such agreement; the insolvency or bankruptcy of any borrower; the entrance of any judgment against any borrower in excess of $50, which is not fully covered by insurance; any divestiture of assets or stock of a subsidiary constituting a substantial portion of borrowers’ assets; the occurrence of a change in control (as defined in the credit facility); certain collateral impairments; a contribution failure with respect to any employee benefit plan that gives rise to a lien under ERISA; and the occurrence of any event which lender determines could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect (as defined in the credit facility). 

 

During 2011, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with The PrivateBank which are accounted for as effective cash flow hedges. The interest rate swaps had a combined initial notional amount of $5,500, with a portion of the swap amortizing on a basis consistent with the $250 quarterly installments required under the term loan. The interest rate swaps fix the Company's one month LIBOR interest rate on the notional amounts at rates ranging from 4.33% - 4.62%. The interest rate swaps expire on August 13, 2014.  Interest rate swaps, which are considered derivative instruments, of $22 and $92 are reported in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value in other current liabilities at December 31, 2013 and 2012.  

Foreign Credit Facility

In addition to its domestic credit facilities, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, IntriCon, PTE LTD., entered into an international senior secured credit agreement with Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Ltd. that provides for a $2,169 line of credit. The international credit agreement was modified in August 2010 and again in August 2011 to allow for an additional total of $736 in borrowing under the existing base to fund the Singapore facility relocation, Batam facility construction and various other capital needs with varying due dates from 2013 to 2015. Borrowings bear interest at a rate of .75% to 2.5% over the lender’s prevailing prime lending rate.  Weighted average interest on the international credit facilities was 3.95% and 3.89% for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. The outstanding balance was $1,281 and $1,795 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The total remaining availability on the international senior secured credit agreement was approximately $888 and $639 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
