TECHPRECISION CORPORATION (OTCMKTS:TPCS) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive AgreementItem 1.01
On June 6, 2018, TechPrecision Corporation (the "Company"), through its wholly owned subsidiary Ranor, Inc. ("Ranor"), entered into a First Modification (the "Modification") to the Loan Agreement dated December 20, 2016 (the "Loan Agreement") between Ranor and Berkshire Bank, successor by merger to Commerce Bank & Trust Company ("Berkshire"). Under the Modification, Berkshire agreed to waive Ranor’s failure to maintain the required minimum debt service coverage ratio for the period ending March 31, 2018 on the condition that the Loan Agreement be modified to change the debt service coverage ratio. Ranor is still required to maintain a ratio between the Company’s cash flow to total debt service of at least 1.2 to 1.0, but the definitions of cash flow and total debt service were updated. Under the Modification, "cash flow" means an amount, without duplication, equal to the sum of net income of Guarantor plus (i) interest expense, (ii) taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) stock based compensation expense taken by the Guarantor, (v) non-cash losses and charges and one time or nonrecurring expenses at Berkshire’s discretion, less (vi) the amount of cash distributions, if any, made to the Company’s shareholders or owners, (vii) less cash taxes paid. The Modification added clause (v). In addition, as a result of the Modification, unfinanced capital expenditures made by the Company are no longer required to be deducted from cash flow. "Total debt service" means an amount, without duplication, equal to the sum of (i) cash interest paid by the Company on its liabilities, obligations and reserves, and (ii) all amounts expended by the Company in connection with current maturities of long-term debt and preferred dividends. The Modification clarified that only cash interest (as opposed to payment-in-kind interest) paid is included in “total debt service”.
The description of the Modification is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Modification, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
