11. Revolving Credit Facility

On June 2, 2017, the Company, entered into two secured credit facilities (the “Bridge Bank Credit Agreements”) with Western Alliance Bank through its Bridge Bank division (“Bridge Bank”), with credit support provided by the Export-Import Bank of the United States through its working capital guarantee program. Under the terms of the Bridge Bank Credit Agreements, the Company may borrow up to $12.0 million on a revolving basis depending on, among other factors, the amount of its eligible inventory and accounts receivable. The Bridge Bank Credit Agreements are for a two-year period ending June 2, 2019. Interest expense related to the former credit facility during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 was $0.2 million, which includes $0.1 million in amortization of deferred financing costs.

Total borrowings, letter of credit obligations and the then aggregate committed amount of cash management services under the Bridge Bank Credit Agreements may not exceed 85% of the sum of unrestricted cash and the amount of cash collateral held at Bridge Bank. As a condition of the Bridge Bank Credit Agreements, the Company has restricted $5.0 million of cash equivalents as additional security for the credit facility. Borrowings under the Bridge Bank Credit Agreements will bear per annum interest at the prime rate plus 1.5 percent, subject to increase during the occurrence of an event of default. Obligations under the Bridge Bank Credit Agreements are secured by all of the Company’s assets, including intellectual property and general intangibles. The Company has incurred $0.2 million in origination fees. These fees have been recorded under the caption “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and amortized to interest expense. As of March 31, 2018, $8.5 million in borrowings were outstanding and $3.5 million borrowings available under the credit facility. Interest expense related to the credit facility during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 was $0.4 million, which includes $0.1 million in amortization of deferred financing costs. The Company’s borrowing rate was 6.3% per annum at March 31, 2018.

On June 1, 2018, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with Bridge Bank. The Letter Agreement extended the maturity date under the Company’s Bridge Bank Credit Agreements from June 2, 2019 to June 2, 2021. The Letter Agreement increased the line of credit to an amount up to $15.0 million from $12.0 million. Additionally, the Letter Agreement reduced the per annum interest rate from prime rate plus 1.50 percent to 1.00 percent; the facility fee from 0.625% to 0.5%, and the cash collateral held at Bridge Bank from 42% to 40%, which is $6.0 million of the $15.0 million facility, as well as eliminated the early termination fee.

On February 4, 2019, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (See Note 12—Term Note Payable) and at that time the Credit Facility was paid in full. There were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility as of March 31, 2019.  Interest expense related to the credit facility during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 was $0.7 million, which includes $0.1 million in amortization of deferred financing costs, and $0.2 million of accelerated amortization related to the pay-off and closing of the Credit Facility.

The Bridge Bank Credit Agreements include affirmative covenants as well as negative covenants that prohibit a variety of actions without Bridge Bank’s consent, including covenants that limit the Company’s ability to (a) incur or guarantee debt, (b) create liens, (c) enter into any merger, recapitalization or similar transaction or purchase all or substantially all of the assets or stock of another entity, or (d) sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Company’s assets. 

The financial covenants of the domestic credit agreement with Bridge Bank (the “Domestic Facility”) requires the Company not to exceed specified levels of losses relative to its financial model and the outstanding line of credit advances may not exceed 85% of  the sum of unrestricted cash and the amount of cash collateral held at Bridge Bank. The Domestic Facility also defines an event of default to include a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. An event of default for this or any other reason, if not waived, could have a material adverse effect on the Company. As of March 31, 2018 the Company was in compliance with the covenants contained in the Bridge Bank Credit Agreements. Upon closing with Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Holdings, Inc., our Bridge Bank Credit Agreements with Bridge Bank were paid off in full.
