Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On April 1, 2015, Air T, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) dated as of April 1, 2015 among the Company and Mountain Air Cargo, Inc., Global Ground Support, LLC, CSA Air, Inc. and Global Aviation Services, LLC, each a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, as borrowers, and Branch Banking and Trust Company, as lender. The Credit Agreement provides for a two-year, senior secured revolving credit facility of $20.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), with a sublimit for issuances of letters of credit of up to $500,000. The Credit Agreement became effective on April 1, 2015.
Initially, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest (payable monthly) at an annual rate of one-month LIBOR plus 1.50%, although the interest rates under the Revolving Credit Facility are subject to incremental increases based on a consolidated leverage ratio. In addition, a commitment fee accrues with respect to the unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility at an annual rate of 0.15%. Amounts applied to repay borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be reborrowed, subject to the terms of the facility. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on April 1, 2017.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, together with hedging obligations owing to the lender under the Revolving Credit Facility or any affiliate of such lender, are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all assets of the Company and the other borrowers (including, without limitation, accounts receivable, equipment, inventory and other goods, intellectual property, contract rights and other general intangibles, cash, deposit accounts, equity interests in subsidiaries and joint ventures, investment property, documents and instruments, and proceeds of the foregoing), but excluding interests in real property.
The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict the ability of the Company and the other borrowers to, among other things, incur or guarantee indebtedness, incur liens, dispose of assets, engage in mergers and consolidations, make acquisitions or other investments, make changes in the nature of their business, enter into certain operating leases, and make certain capital expenditures. The Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants, including a minimum consolidated tangible net worth of $22.0 million, a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.35 to 1.0, a minimum consolidated asset coverage ratio of 1.75 to 1.0, and a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 3.5 to 1.0.
The Credit Agreement contains events of default including, without limitation, nonpayment of principal, interest or other obligations, violation of covenants, misrepresentation, cross-default to other debt, bankruptcy and other insolvency events, judgments, certain ERISA events, certain changes of control of the Company, termination of, or modification to materially reduce the scope of the services required to be provided under, certain agreements with FedEx, and the occurrence of a material adverse effect upon the Company and the other borrowers as a whole.
The Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report, is incorporated herein by reference.
