On October 30, 2013, Renin, which is owned 81% by the Company and 19% by BFC, was formed by the Company and BFC to complete the Renin Transaction. Bluegreen funded approximately $9.4 million of the Renin Transaction consideration in the form of a loan and revolver facility and the remaining funds necessary to complete the Renin Transaction were funded by BBX Capital and BFC pro rata in accordance with their percentage equity interests. Renin recognized $0 and  $307,000, respectively, of interest expense under the Bluegreen loan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

The Bluegreen loan had an outstanding balance of $9.7 million as of December 31, 2013.  On June 11, 2014, Renin entered into a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Capital Finance Corporation (“Lender”).  Under the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the Lender made a $1.5 million term loan to Renin. The Credit Agreement also includes a revolving advance facility pursuant to which the Lender agreed to make loans to Renin on a revolving basis up to a maximum of approximately $18 million or, if lesser, the Borrowing Base (as defined in the Credit Agreement), subject to the Borrowers’ compliance with the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, including certain specific financial covenants as discussed below. Upon execution of the Credit Agreement and funding of the term loan, the Lender also made loans to Renin in the aggregate amount of approximately $6.5 million under the revolving advance facility. The approximate $8.0 million of financing received by Renin from the Lender, together with pro rata capital contributions to Renin from the Company and BFC of $2,025,000 and $475,000, respectively, were utilized to repay in full the Bluegreen loan.

Amounts outstanding under the term loan and loans made under the revolving advance facility bear interest at the Canadian Prime Rate or the daily three month LIBOR rate plus a margin specified in the Credit Agreement at various rates between 0.5% per annum and 3.25% per annum. The revolving advance facility also includes a 0.25% per annum fee charged on the amount of unused commitment. The term loan and borrowings under the revolving advance facility require monthly interest payments. In addition, beginning on October 1, 2014, the term loan requires quarterly principal repayments of $75,000. The maturity date under the Credit Agreement with respect to the term loan and all loans made pursuant to the revolving advance facility is June 11, 2019.  

Under the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, Renin was originally required to comply with certain financial covenants from June 30, 2014 to November 30, 2014, including limits on monthly capital expenditures and the achievement of monthly EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in amounts equal to or greater than specific amounts set forth in the Credit Agreement. However, the credit agreement was amended in October 2014 replacing the EBITDA financial covenants requirements for each month ended during the period from September 2014 through November 2014 with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the amended Credit Agreement)In addition, beginning on December 1, 2014, Renin will be required to maintain as of the end of each month a certain specified Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) measured on a trailing twelve-month basis. The Credit Agreement also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including those that, among other things, limit the ability of Renin to incur liens or engage in certain asset dispositions, mergers or consolidations, dissolutions, liquidations or winding up of its businesses. The loans are collateralized by all of Renin’s assets.
