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 $5,000.  

In March 2015, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries entered into a Seventh Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement with The PrivateBank and Trust Company. The amendment, among other things:

§

increased the Company’s term loan to $5,000 from its then current balance of $1,750, as a result of which the Company borrowed an additional $3,250 under the term loan facility;

 

§

extended the term loan and revolving loan maturity date to February 28, 2019, keeping the existing term loan amortization schedule in place;

   

§

increased the annual capital expenditure limit to $4,500;

 

§

implemented investment provisions that allow for up to $4,000 in investment spending prior to requiring bank approval;

 

§

lowered interest rates on the term loan and revolving loan;

 

 

Due to the Seventh Amendment as described above, the term loan and the revolving loan maturity date has been extended to February 28, 2019. All of the borrowings under this agreement have been characterized as either a current or long-term liability on our balance sheet in accordance with the repayment terms described more fully below.

 

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 2.50% to 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 (0.25)% to 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 the revolving credit facility was 4.39% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 4.51% for the year ended December 31, 2014.  The outstanding balance of the revolving credit facility was $1,093 and $3,843 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.  The total availability on the revolving credit facility was approximately $6,341 and $3,456 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

The outstanding principal balance of the term loan, as amended, is payable in quarterly installments of $250. Any remaining principal and accrued interest is payable on February 28, 2019. 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 Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the facility as of March 31, 2015.

 

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 an asset based line of credit.  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 3.38% and 4.50% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively. The outstanding balance was $915 and $920 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.  The total remaining availability on the international senior secured credit agreement was approximately $878 and $956 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
