LONG ISLAND ICED TEA CORP. (NASDAQ:LTEA) Files An 8-K Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a RegistrantItem 2.03.
On November 27, 2017, Long Island Iced Tea Corp. (the “Company”) completed a bridge financing, to which the Company received cash of $750,000 (the “Financing Amount”), less certain fees as described below. The bridge financing is to an Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Future Receipts (“Agreement”) with Radium2 Capital Inc. (“Radium”). The Agreement provides for the Company to sell to Radium, without recourse, 15% (the “Specified Percentage”) of the proceeds from the Company’s future sales (the “Future Receipts”), up to a total amount of $986,250, for a purchase price equal to the Financing Amount. The Company incurred estimated expenses of $10,000 in connection with this Agreement, including an origination fee of $7,500, which was deducted from the Financing Amount. The Agreement further provides for a 15% discount on the amount of Future Receipts to be paid to Radium, if the entire amount is paid in full within 126 business days from the date of funding.
The Specified Percentage of the Future Receipts will be paid by the Company to Radium on a weekly basis. The Agreement contains certain customary events of default, including the Company interfering with Radium’s right to collect the weekly amount, the Company materially violating any term or covenant of the Agreement, and the Company using multiple depository accounts without the prior written consent of Radium. If an event of default occurs, the Specified Percentage will become 50% and the full uncollected Purchase Amount will become immediately due and payable.
There is no payment schedule and the Company will have no obligation to pay any amount to Radium, except to the extent of its Future Receipts as described above. However, the Company’s management expects that the obligation to pay the Future Receipts will be classified as indebtedness under applicable accounting principles.
