Item 1.01.       Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Amended Loan and Security Agreement

On March 25, 2022, we and certain of our direct and indirect Subsidiaries amended our secured loan and security agreement pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to Loan and Security Agreement, or the Amended Loan and Security Agreement, with certain lenders and TD Bank, N.A., as a lender and as agent. AOB Products Company, a Missouri corporation, and Crimson Trace Corporation, an Oregon corporation, our Subsidiaries, are the borrowers under the Amended Loan and Security Agreement. We and certain of our other direct and indirect Subsidiaries are guarantors of the borrowers’ obligations under the Amended Loan and Security Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Item 1.01, Amended Loan and Security Agreement, will have the meanings set forth in the Amended Loan and Security Agreement.

The Amended Loan and Security Agreement provides for the following:

1. A revolving line of credit in the amount of $75.0 million at any one time, or the Revolving Line. Each Loan under the Revolving Line bears interest at either the Base Rate, plus the Applicable Margin or the SOFR for the Interest Period in effect for such borrowing, plus the Applicable Margin; and

2. A swingline facility in the maximum amount of $15.0 million at any one time (subject to availability under the Revolving Line). Each Swingline Loan bears interest at the Base Rate, plus the Applicable Margin.

Subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions described in the Amended Loan and Security Agreement, we have an option to increase the Revolving Line by an aggregate amount not exceeding $15.0 million. The Revolving Line matures on March 25, 2027.

The Amended Loan and Security Agreement contains customary limitations, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes to business or organizational structure, investments, loans, advances, guarantees, and acquisitions, asset sales, dividends, stock repurchases, stock redemptions, and the redemption or prepayment of other debt, and transactions with affiliates. We are also subject to financial covenants, including a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio.

The Amended Loan and Security Agreement also contains customary events of default, including nonpayment of principal, interest, fees, or other amounts when due, violation of covenants, breaches of representations or warranties, cross defaults, change of control, insolvency, bankruptcy events, and material judgments. Some of these events of default allow for grace periods or are qualified by materiality concepts. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the outstanding obligations under the Amended Loan and Security Agreement may be accelerated and become due and payable immediately.

The description of the Amended Loan and Security Agreement does not purport to be complete, and such description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms of the Amended Loan and Security Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 2.03.Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The description of the Amended Loan and Security Agreement set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference in this Item 2.03.
