On August 2, 2013, the Company entered into a $50.0 million, three-year revolving credit facility, as described below (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement replaced a predecessor revolving credit facility with First Victoria National Bank. The Credit Agreement was a three-year, secured revolving facility in the maximum principal amount of $50.0 million, among the Company, as borrower, HSBC Bank USA, N.A., as administrative agent and several banks and other financial institutions from time to time as lenders thereunder (initially consisting of HSBC Bank USA, N.A. and First Victoria National Bank).

In December 2015, the Credit Agreement was amended to: (a) extend the maturity date to August 31, 2017; (b) reduce the amount of the commitment to $40.0 million from $50.0 million; and (c) amend the definition of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude certain non-recurring contract settlement costs. Through a series of amendments and unilateral reductions, the total commitment under the facility was reduced to $10.0 million as of January 31, 2017. In March 2017, the Company repaid all outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement and terminated that agreement.

Amounts available for borrowing under the Credit Agreement were determined by a borrowing base. The borrowing base was determined primarily based upon the appraised value of the Company’s domestic lease pool equipment and certain accounts receivable. The Credit Agreement was collateralized by essentially all of the Company’s domestic assets (other than real estate) and 65% of the capital stock of Mitcham Holdings, Ltd., a foreign holding company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that holds the capital stock of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

The Credit Agreement provided interest at a base rate or LIBOR, plus an applicable margin. As of January 31, 2017, the base rate margin was 250 basis points and the Eurodollar margin was 350 basis points. The Company had agreed to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Credit Agreement of 0.375% to 0.5%. Up to $10.0 million of available borrowings under the Credit Agreement may have been utilized to secure letters of credit. The Credit Agreement contained certain financial covenants that required, among other things, that the Company maintain a leverage ratio, which is calculated at the end of each quarter, of no greater than 2.00 to 1.00 on a trailing four quarter basis and a fixed charge coverage ratio, which also was calculated at the end of each quarter, of no less than 1.25 to 1.00 on a trailing four quarter basis. In addition, should Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement, for any trailing four quarter period be less than $22.0 million, the ratio of capital expenditures to Adjusted EBITDA for that four quarter period may not be greater than 1.0 to 1.0. The Credit Agreement also included restrictions on additional indebtedness in excess of $5.0 million.

The Credit Agreement contained customary representations, warranties, conditions precedent to credit extensions, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The negative covenants included restrictions on liens, additional indebtedness in excess of $5.0 million, acquisitions, fundamental changes, dispositions of property, restricted payments, and transactions with affiliates and lines of business. The events of default included a change in control provision.

 

On August 22, 2014, Seamap Singapore entered into a $15.0 million credit facility (the “Seamap Credit Facility”) with The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited (“HSBC-Singapore”). The facility consisted of a $10.0 million term loan, a $3.0 million revolving credit facility, and a $2.0 million banker’s guarantee facility.

On April 5, 2017, the Company repaid all amounts outstanding under the Seamap Credit Facility and cancelled that facility.

The term loan portion of the Seamap Credit Facility provided for eleven quarterly principal payments of $800,000 and a final payment of the remaining $1.2 million on or before August 22, 2017. Interest on the term facility was payable quarterly at LIBOR plus 2.75%. Under the Seamap Credit Facility, Seamap Singapore may have borrowed up to $3.0 million for a period of one to three months to be utilized for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.75%. Borrowings under this arrangement were secured by essentially all of the assets of Seamap Singapore and the Company’s guarantee.

The Seamap Credit Facility contained financial covenants that required Seamap Singapore to maintain a minimum shareholder’s equity of S$15 million and a minimum ratio of debt to EBITDA of not less than 125% for each fiscal year.

The Seamap Credit Facility contained customary representations and warranties, conditions precedent to credit extensions, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The negative covenants included restrictions on liens, additional indebtedness, acquisitions, fundamental changes, dispositions of property, restricted payments, and transactions with affiliates. The Seamap Credit Facility also required the Company, as guarantor, to comply with financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.

The Company’s average borrowings under the Credit Agreement and the Seamap Credit Facility for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2017 and 2016 were approximately $12.2 million and $17.6 million, respectively.

From time to time, certain subsidiaries have entered into notes payable to finance the purchase of certain equipment, which is pledged as security for the notes payable.
