ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On December 20, 2019, Avalon Holdings Corporation and certain direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively “Avalon” or the “Company”) entered into a loan and security agreement (the “New Term Loan Agreement”) with Laurel Capital Corporation which provided for a $23.0 million term loan. The New Term Loan Agreement proceeds were utilized to pay off and refinance the Company’s existing term loan and commercial mortgage agreements, pay down the outstanding balance and associated interest on the Company’s line of credit agreement and pay related transaction costs. The remaining proceeds were deposited into a project fund account to fund future costs of renovating and expanding both The Grand Resort (formerly The Avalon Inn) and The Avalon Field Club at New Castle.

 

At closing, $10.3 million of the proceeds were used to pay off amounts outstanding under our term loan agreement with Laurel Capital Corporation, dated December 20, 2016 (“2016 Term Loan Agreement”), $2.9 million of the proceeds were used to pay off amounts outstanding under our term loan agreement with Laurel Capital Corporation, dated March 29, 2019 (“2019 Term Loan Agreement”), $1.7 million of the proceeds were used to down the outstanding balance and associated interest on our existing line of credit agreement with Home Savings Bank, dated May 31, 2018, as amended, $0.6 million of the proceeds were used to pay off amounts outstanding under our commercial mortgage agreement with Mercer County State Bank, dated May 13, 2019 (“Commercial Mortgage”) and $0.3 million of the proceeds were utilized to pay transaction costs. The remaining proceeds of approximately $7.2 million were deposited into a project fund account. The 2016 Term Loan Agreement, 2019 Term Loan Agreement and the Commercial Mortgage Agreement were terminated in conjunction with the New Term Loan Agreement.

 

The $23.0 million outstanding under the New Term Loan Agreement is payable in 119 equal monthly installments of principal and interest, based on a fifteen (15) year maturity schedule commencing January 20, 2020 followed by one final balloon payment of all remaining principal, interest and fees due on the maturity date of December 20, 2029. Borrowings under the New Term Loan Agreement bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.00% until the fifth anniversary date of the closing at which time the interest rate will be reset to a fixed rate equal to the greater of (a) 5.00% per annum or (b) the sum of the five year treasury rate on the date two (2) business days prior to the reset date plus 3.60%, provided that the applicable rate shall in no event exceed 7.35% per annum.

 

Avalon has the right to prepay the amount outstanding under the New Term Loan Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time upon payment of the principal amount of the loan to be prepaid plus accrued unpaid interest thereon to the prepayment date, plus an applicable prepayment penalty. The prepayment penalty, expressed as a percentage of the principal of the loan being prepaid, is five percent (5%) on any prepayment in the first five years; four percent (4%) on any prepayment in the sixth and seventh year; three percent (3%) on any prepayment in the eighth and ninth year; and two percent (2%) on any prepayment in the tenth year.

 

Borrowings under the New Term Loan Agreement are secured by certain real property and related business assets as defined in the agreement. The New Term Loan Agreement also contains certain financial and other covenants, customary representations, warranties and events of default.

 

The forgoing description of the New Term Loan Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the New Term Loan Agreement, which is filed with this report as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9 and is incorporated herein by reference.
