ULTRALIFE CORPORATION (NASDAQ:ULBI) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement
  On May 31, 2017, Ultralife Corporation entered into a Credit and
  Security Agreement (the Credit Agreement) and related security
  agreements with KeyBank National Association (KeyBank or the
  Bank) to establish a $30 million senior secured, cash flow-based,
  revolving credit facility that includes a $1.5 million letter of
  credit subfacility (the Credit Facility). The Credit Agreement
  provides that the Credit Facility may be increased with the Banks
  concurrence to $50 million prior to the last six months of the
  term and is scheduled to expire on May 30, 2020. The Credit
  Facility replaces the Companys asset-based revolving credit
  facility with PNC Bank National Association which expired in
  accordance with its terms on May 24, 2017 (the Prior Credit
  Agreement).
  The Credit Facility provides the Company with an aggregate of up
  to $30 million of loan and letter of credit availability
  determined based on a borrowing base formula equal to the sum of
  85% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of (a) up to
  50% of the cost or market value (whichever is lower) of eligible
  inventory and (b) $12.75 million, reduced by the amount, if any,
  of reserves required by the Bank.
  The Company may use advances under the Credit Facility for
  general working capital purposes, to reimburse drawings under
  letters of credit and to fund capital expenditures and
  acquisitions, all subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement.
  The Company had no amounts drawn under the Prior Credit Agreement
  at the time of its expiration and has not borrowed under the
  Credit Facility.
  Interest will accrue on outstanding indebtedness under the Credit
  Agreement at the Overnight LIBOR Rate plus the applicable margin,
  or at the Base Rate plus the applicable margin, as selected by
  the Company. During the period beginning May 31, 2017 and ending
  April 1, 2018, the applicable margin for Overnight LIBOR Loans is
  185 basis points, the applicable margin for Base Rate Loans is
  negative 50 basis points and applicable margin for the Unused Fee
  is 20 basis points. Beginning April 2, 2018 and thereafter, the
  applicable margins will be determined based on the chart below.
| Consolidated Senior Leverage Ratio | Applicable Basis Points for Overnight LIBOR Loans | Applicable Basis Points for Base Rate Loans | Applicable Basis Points for Unused Fee | 
| Less than 1.50 to 1.00 | 
 | (50) | 
 | 
| Greater than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00 but less than 2.50 to 1.00 | 
 | (25) | 
 | 
| Greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00 | 
 | 
 | 
 | 
  The Company must pay a fee on its unused availability equal to
  the applicable margin for the Unused Fee and customary letter of
  credit fees.
  In addition to the customary affirmative and negative covenants,
  the Company must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.15
  to 1.0, tested each fiscal quarter for the trailing four fiscal
  quarters, and a minimum tangible net worth of $40 million, tested
  as of the end of each calendar year. The Credit Facility is
  secured by substantially all the assets of the Company.
  Any outstanding advances must be repaid upon expiration of the
  term of the Credit Facility. Payments must be made during the
  term to the extent outstanding advances exceed the maximum amount
  then permitted to be drawn as advances under the Credit Facility
  and from the proceeds of certain transactions. Upon the
  occurrence of an event of default, the outstanding obligations
  may be accelerated and the Bank will have other customary
  remedies.
  The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not
  purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by
  reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, a copy of
  which is filed as Exhibit10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein
  by reference.
  The Credit Agreement has been filed to provide investors and
  security holders with information regarding its terms,
  provisions, conditions, and covenants and is not intended to
  provide any other factual information respecting the Company or
  its subsidiaries. In particular the Credit Agreement contains
  representations and warranties made to and solely for the benefit
  of the parties thereto, allocating among themselves various risks
  of the transaction. The assertions embodied in those
  representations and warranties may be qualified or modified by
  information in disclosure schedules that the parties have
  exchanged in connection with executing the Credit Agreement.
  Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the
  representations and warranties may change after the date of this
  document, which subsequent information may or may not be fully
  reflected in the Companys public disclosures. Accordingly,
  investors and security holders should not rely on the
  representations and warranties in these documents as
  characterizations of the actual state of any fact or facts.
