March 2018 Note to Prism

 

Under the terms of a series of agreements (the “Former Agreements”), Yield issued Prism Funding Co, LP (“Prism”) a 10% OID Senior Secured Convertible Note (the “Senior Note”) in the principal amount of $5,500,000 and received the BTC. The Senior Note was payable 30 days following written demand from Prism (the “Maturity Date”) and with interest at 10% per annum.  Pursuant to the terms of the restructuring agreement entered into in August 2018, the Company’s liability for the Senior Note was extinguished upon the restructuring of the BTC loan (see note 3).

Note 7 - Line of Credit and Debt

In May 2017, the Company along with the majority owners serving as co-borrowers entered into a credit facility providing for up to $2 million of borrowings. Through various amendments, the maximum borrowings under the line increased to $4.6 million with a maturity of May 2019. Borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus 3%. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, outstanding borrowings amounted to $0 and $4.6 million, respectively.

The line of credit was secured by personal assets of the co-borrowers. Covenants under the line of credit required the Company to be within a certain quarterly and annual loss limitation threshold, and certain other restrictions. As of December 31, 2018, the Company was in compliance with its covenants and/or obtained waivers from the lien holders.  At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, outstanding borrowings amounted to $0 and $1.6 million, respectively.

At December 31, 2018, our long-term debt consisted of an unsecured note payable to a director of the Company bearing 26.6% interest with principal and interest due within 30 days after change of control.  No interest was paid during 2019.

On May 6, 2019, Better Choice Company refinanced the $4.6 million line of credit and the $1.6 million note payable to the director with a $6.2 million revolving credit agreement with Franklin Synergy Bank.  All advances relating to this revolving credit agreement bear a fixed rate of interest equal to 3.7% per annum, which may be adjusted from time to time subject to certain conditions. In addition, the Company paid a fee of $10,000 upon closing. The Company is also required to pay a late charge equal to 5% of the aggregate amount of any payments of principal and/or interest that are paid more than 10 days after the due date.  This note matures on May 6, 2020.  The Franklin Synergy Bank note requires that the Company maintain deposits on account at the bank in the total amount of $6.2 million.  If withdrawals are made from the account, the amount available under the revolving credit agreement decreases by the amount of the withdrawal.

TruPet and Bona Vida became guarantors of the Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement after the closing of the acquisitions. In addition, pursuant to a Security Agreement by and between the Company and Lender dated the date of the Loan Agreement (the “Security Agreement”), the Company has granted the Lender a security interest in all assets of the Company owned or later acquired. The Loan Agreement also contains certain events of default, representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and its subsidiaries. For example, the Loan Agreement contains representations and covenants that, subject to exceptions, restrict the Company’s ability to do the following, among things: incur additional indebtedness, engage in certain asset sales, or undergo a change in ownership.

Interest expense of approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million was recorded in the statements of operations related to the lines of credit and director note for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Interest expense of approximately an immaterial amount and approximately $0.1 million was recorded in the statements of operations related to the line of credit and the director note for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.
