The redemptions and prepayment was accomplished by the company, and all its wholly-owned subsidiaries, entering into a $25 million Senior Secured four-year Term Facility with Wells Fargo Century.
Under the terms of the facility, the company redeemed its Series A Preferred Stock and prepaid notes payable, and all rights and privileges thereof, for an aggregate amount of $22.7 million.
The remaining $2.3 million of financing from the Term Facility was used to pay for financing and professional costs associated with the Term Facility. It requires quarterly principal installments of $635,000, commencing April 30, 2006, with a balloon of $15.5 million due December 31, 2009, along with monthly interest on the related outstanding principal at prime plus 1 percent (currently 8.25 percent).
The Term Facility has customary covenants in place, including a minimum fixed-charge financial covenant ratio, and excess cash-flow recapture. It is secured by all tangible and intangible assets of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as defined.
