Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On
July 8, 2020, Franklin Covey Co. (
the Company) entered into the First Modification Agreement to its existing secured credit agreement (the 2019 Credit Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the Lender). The Lender also provides the
majority of
the Company’s day-to-day banking services.
The primary purpose of the First Modification Agreement is to provide alternative borrowing covenants for the fiscal quarters ending
August 31, 2020 through
May 31, 2021. These new covenants include the following:
2.
|
Minimum Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Amortization, and Depreciation (EBITDA) – The Company shall maintain rolling four-quarter Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the First Modification Agreement, not less than the amount
set forth below for the specified quarter.
|
Quarter Ending
|
|
Amount
|
|
|
$11,000,000
|
|
|
8,500,000
|
|
|
5,000,000
|
|
|
15,000,000
|
Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of this calculation is not the same as reported by
the Company in its quarterly earnings releases and includes the addition of capitalized development amortization, which is classified in
cost of sales. The Adjusted EBITDA levels shown above are necessarily indicative of future results and should not be construed as guidance for future reporting periods.
3.
|
Capital Expenditures – The Company may not make capital expenditures, including capitalized development costs, in an amount exceeding $8.5 million in aggregate for any fiscal year.
|
The previously existing financial covenants remain in effect at all times other than the quarterly periods ending from
August 31, 2020 through
May 31, 2021.
In addition to the previously described financial covenants,
the Company is prohibited from holding domestic cash balances in excess of $5.0 million at the time of any borrowing on its revolving credit facility and
the Company is prohibited from
making certain restricted payments, including dividends on its common stock and open-market purchases of its common stock for treasury until
the Company has been in compliance with the previously existing financial covenants for two consecutive
quarters.
The First Modification Agreement includes covenants that, if breached, could result in a default and the acceleration of payments due from
the Company.
The Company’s interest rate under the First Amendment will increase from LIBOR plus 1.85% to LIBOR plus 3.0% and the unused credit commitment fee will increase to 0.5% from 0.2%.
The foregoing description of the First Modification to the 2019 Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the First Modification Agreement to the 2019 Credit Agreement, which is
filed as
Exhibit 10.1 attached hereto.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
On
July 8, 2020,
the Company and certain of its
subsidiaries entered into the First Modification Agreement to the 2019 Credit Agreement with its primary Lender as described above in Item 1.01. The information in Item 1.01 is incorporated by
reference herein.
