iPass Inc. (NASDAQ:IPAS) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June14, 2018, iPass Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) and related transaction documents with Fortress Credit Corp. (together with its affiliates, “Fortress”), for an initial term loan of $4.0 million (“Initial Term Loan A”) and $6.0 million ("Initial Term Loan B" and collectively with Initial Term Loan A, the “Loan”). Initial Term Loan B shall be funded within 3 days of Initial Term Loan A if all stipulated documents are fully executed and the Company has used the proceeds of Initial Term Loan A to pay down its accounts payable. Fortress also agreed to extend credit in the form of the Delayed Draw Term Loan in increments of $1.0 million, the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $10.0million.

The Loan bears an annual interest at a stated rate of 11.0% plus the greater of the following i) Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, ii) the Prime Rate, iii) the sum of the LIBOR in effect plus 1.0%, or iv) 2.0%. During the first 18 months following the closing date, payments under the Loan are interest-only, with the Company able to elect that up to 5.5% of the accrued interest to be paid in-kind by capitalizing and adding such interest to the unpaid principal amount. The Loan provides that beginning in November 2019, the Company shall make thirty monthly principal payments, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, and upon completion will fully payoff the Loan under the terms of the Agreement. At the end of the term or upon earlier prepaymeny by the Company, the Company will pay a fee equal to 5.0% of the principal of the term loan. The Company paid Fortress a 3.0% structuring fee for the Loan Agreement and reimbursed Fortress costs up to a specified amount with respect to the entry into the Loan Agreement.

The Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by a first-priority security interest in all of the assets of the Company, including the Company’s intellectual property assets to a security agreement with Fortress.

The Loan Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and indemnification provisions. The Loan Agreement also contains affirmative and negative covenants with respect to operation of the business and properties of the Company as well as financial performance, including requirements to maintain a minimum of $1.5 million of unrestricted cash; limits on network access cost, operating expenses and gross revenue levels on a trailing four-quarter basis to be within a stated percentage of budgeted amounts; changes in senior management not otherwise approved by Fortress; limits on undisputed trade payables to 90 days or less; prohibitions on incurring additional indebtedness or making guarantees, making investments, loans and acquisitions; prohibitions on consolidating or merging, altering the business of the Company; requirements for a December 31, 2018 audit report without a “going concern” qualification; and prohibitions on paying dividends or making distributions. The Loan Agreement further provides customary events of default and cure periods for certain specified events of default, and in the event of uncured default, the acceleration of the maturity date and an increase in the applicable interest rate with respect to amounts outstanding under the Loan.

Concurrently with the execution of the Loan Agreement, the Company issued to Fortress seven-year warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 2,784,930 shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share price of $0.3022.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by the Loan Agreement that will be filed (with certain portions subject to confidential treatment) with the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2018.
