INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT
| Item 1.01. |
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On April 25, 2023 Indco, Inc. (“Indco”), a Tennessee corporation and subsidiary
of Janel Corporation (the “Company”), and certain other Subsidiaries of the Company that
are part of the Life Science and Manufacturing segments (together with Indco, the “Borrowers” and each, a “Borrower”), entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with First Merchants Bank (“First Merchants”).
The Credit Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of that certain Credit Agreement dated February 29, 2016 between Indco and First Merchants (as amended, the “Prior Credit Agreement”). The credit facilities provided under the
Credit Agreement (the “First Merchants Credit Facilities”) will consist of a $3.0 million Revolving Loan (limited to the borrowing base and reserves), a $5.0 million Acquisition Loan, a $6.905 million Term A Loan and a $620,000 Term B Loan
as a continuation of the Mortgage Loan under the Prior Credit Agreement. Interest will accrue on the outstanding Revolving Loan, Term A Loan and Acquisition Loan at an annual rate equal to one-month adjusted term SOFR plus either (i) 2.75% (if
the Borrowers’ total funded debt to EBITDA ratio is less or equal to 1.75:1.00) or (ii) 3.50% (if the Borrowers’ total funded debt to EBITDA ratio is greater than to 1.75:1.00). Interest will accrue on the Term B Loan at an annual rate of
4.19%. The Borrowers’ obligations under the First Merchants Credit Facilities are secured by all of the Borrowers’ real property and other assets, and are guaranteed by the Company, and the Company’s guarantee of the Borrowers’ obligations is
secured by a pledge of the Company’s equity interests in certain of the Borrowers. The Revolving Loan portion of the First Merchants Credit Facilities will expire on August 1, 2027, the Term A Loan portion of the First Merchants Credit Facilities will mature on April 25, 2033, the Term B Loan portion of the First Merchants Credit
Facilities will mature on July 1, 2025 and the Acquisition Loan will permit multiple draws until October 25, 2024, at which point the outstanding principal amount will amortize, with all remaining amounts due at maturity of the Acquisition Loan
on April 25, 2029; each of the foregoing maturities, subject to earlier termination as provided in the Credit Agreement and unless renewed or extended.
| Item 2.03. |
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of the Registrant.
