Credit Agreement Summary & Termination of Prior Financing Agreement
On December 7, 2012, ZAGG Inc (the “Company”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo” or the “Bank”), entered into a two-year, $84,000,000 credit facility consisting of a $24,000,000 term loan and a $60,000,000 revolving line of credit, which line of credit includes a letter of credit sub-feature that allows the Company to issue standby commercial letters of credit against the line of credit, not to exceed at any time an aggregate of $10,000,000.
Concurrent with the execution of the credit agreement for such credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”), the Company paid and fulfilled in full all obligations previously due and outstanding under the June 21, 2011, financing agreement of between the Company, Cerberus Business Finance, LLC (“Cerberus”) and PNC Bank National Association (“PNC”) (the “Previous Financing Agreement”). Upon the funding of the Credit Agreement on December 12, 2012, the Company paid to Cerberus and PNC an aggregate amount of $45,970,667.08, which consisted of the following individual items:
|
·
|
$4,396,277.83 was applied to the entire outstanding balance on the line of credit under the Previous Financing Agreement;
|
|
·
|
$41,000,000.00 was applied to the entire outstanding balance on the term loan under the Previous Financing Agreement;
|
|
·
|
$100,455.55 was related to accrued and unpaid interest on the line of credit and term loan under the Previous Financing Agreement;
|
|
·
|
$430,000.00 was paid to Cerberus and PNC as a prepayment premium pursuant to the terms of the Previous Financing Agreement;
|
|
·
|
$33,933.70 was related to accrued and unpaid fees under the Previous Financing Agreement; and
|
|
·
|
$10,000.00 was related to a contingency deposit against any other costs or obligations to Cerberus and PNC related to the pay-off of the Previous Financing Agreement.
|
In addition to paying off the Previous Financing Agreement as shown above, the proceeds from the Term Loan and Line of Credit will be used to provide working capital for the Company and for general corporate needs.
Line of Credit
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Bank agreed to make advances to the Company from time to time up to and including December 1, 2014, in an amount not to exceed at any time the aggregate principal amount of $60,000,000 (the “Line of Credit”), the proceeds of which will be used to pay off the Previous Financing Agreement, provide working capital for the Company, and for general corporate needs. The Company’s obligation to repay advances under the Line of Credit is evidenced by a Revolving Line of Credit Note, dated as of December 7, 2012, as amended by an Addendum to Revolving Line of Credit Note dated that same date (as amended, the “Line of Credit Note”).
Borrowings and repayments under the Line of Credit may occur from time to time in the Company’s ordinary course of business from December 7, 2012, through December 1, 2014. Any outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit mature and are due on December 1, 2014.
The outstanding principal balance under the Line of Credit bears interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) at a fluctuating rate per annum determined to be the sum of the (1) LIBOR margin (with the initial LIBOR margin being set at 1.25%) and (2) Daily Three Month LIBOR (as defined below) in effect from time to time. Pursuant to the Line of Credit Note, each change in the rate of interest will become effective on each business day on which a change in Daily Three Month LIBOR is announced by Wells Fargo.
Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, Wells Fargo will adjust the LIBOR margin used to determine the rate of interest under the Line of Credit on a quarterly basis, commencing with the Company’s fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2012. The Applicable Libor Margin is calculated based on the Company's ratio of Total Liabilities to Tangible Net Worth (as these terms are defined in the Credit Agreement) in accordance with the following table:
|
Total Liabilities to Tangible Net Worth
|
|
Applicable LIBOR Margin
|
| |
|
|
|
1.50 or greater
|
|
1.75%
|
|
1.00 or greater, but less than 1.50
|
|
1.25%
|
|
Less than 1.00
|
|
0.75%
|
Under the Line of Credit Note, each such adjustment will be effective on the first business day of the Company’s fiscal quarter following the quarter during which the Bank receives and reviews the Company’s most current fiscal quarter-end financial statements in accordance with the requirements established by the Bank for the preparation and delivery thereof.
Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the term “Daily Three Month Libor” means, for any day, the rate of interest equal to LIBOR (as defined below) then in effect for delivery for a three month period. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the term “LIBOR” means the rate per annum (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest whole 1/8 of 1%) and determined pursuant to the following formula:
|
LIBOR =
|
Base LIBOR
|
|
| |
100% - LIBOR Reserve Percentage
|
|
|
|
(i)
|
Under the Line of Credit Note, the term “Base LIBOR” means the rate per annum for United States dollar deposits quoted by the Bank as the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate, with the understanding that such rate is quoted by the Bank for the purpose of calculating effective rates of interest for loans making reference thereto, for delivery of funds for three months in an amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Line of Credit Note. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company agreed that the Bank could base its quotation of the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate upon such offers or other market indicators of the Inter-Bank Market as the Bank, in its discretion, deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, the rate offered for U.S. dollar deposits on the London Inter-Bank Market.
|
|
|
(ii)
|
Under the Line of Credit Note, “LIBOR Reserve Percentage” means the reserve percentage prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for “Eurocurrency Liabilities” (as defined in Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board, as amended), adjusted by the Bank for expected changes in such reserve percentage during the term of the Line of Credit Note.
|
In addition, the Company agreed to pay Wells Fargo a quarterly fee based on the average unused amount of the Line of Credit depending on the Company’s Leverage Ratio (which term is defined in the Credit Agreement as Total Liabilities divided by Tangible Net Worth) based on the following table:
|
Leverage Ratio
|
|
Applicable Unused Commitment Fee (per annum)
|
| |
|
|
|
1.50 or greater
|
|
0.20%
|
|
1.00 or greater, but less than 1.50
|
|
0.15%
|
|
Less than 1.00
|
|
0.10%
|
Interest accrued on the Line of Credit is payable on the first day of each month, commencing on January 1, 2013.
Term Note
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Bank also agreed to provide a term loan to the Company in the principal amount of $24,000,000, the proceeds of which will be used to pay off the Previous Financing Agreement, to provide working capital for the Company, and for general corporate needs. The Company’s obligation to repay the Term Loan is evidenced by a Term Note dated December 7, 2012, as amended by an Addendum to Term Note dated that same date (as amended, the “Term Note”).
The Term Note requires quarterly payments of $2,000,000 payable on the first day of each quarter commencing on April 1, 2013, and continuing up to and including October 1, 2014. A final installment payment consisting of the remaining unpaid balance is due on December 1, 2014.
A mandatory principal payment of $500,000 is required for each fiscal quarter in which Total Liabilities to Tangible Net Worth (as those terms are defined in the Credit Agreement) exceeds 1.50 to 1.00, commencing with the Company’s fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2012.
The outstanding principal balance of the Term Note initially bears interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) at a fluctuating rate per annum determined to be sum of the (1) LIBOR margin (with the initial LIBOR margin being set at 1.25%) and (2) Daily Three Month LIBOR (as defined above) in effect from time to time. Pursuant to the Term Note, each change in the rate of interest will become effective on each business day on which a change in Daily Three Month LIBOR is announced by Wells Fargo. Commencing December 31, 2012, the outstanding principal balance of the Term Note will bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) at a fixed rate per annum determined by the Bank to be the sum of the (1) LIBOR margin (with the initial LIBOR margin being set at 1.25%) and (2) LIBOR in effect on the first day of each Fixed Rate Term (as defined below).
Any adjustment to the LIBOR margin on the Term Note will be determined based in the same manner as adjustments to the LIBOR margin on the Line of Credit Note.
Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the term “Fixed Rate Term” means a period of three months during which the entire outstanding principal balance of the Term Note bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR, with the understanding that (i) the initial Fixed Rate Term shall commence on the date the full principal amount of the Term Note is disbursed, (ii) each successive Fixed Rate Term shall commence automatically, and without notice to or consent from the Company, on the first business day following the date on which the immediately preceding Fixed Rate Term matures, and (iii) if, on the first business day of the last Fixed Rate Term applicable hereto the remaining term of the Term Note is less than three months, then such Fixed Rate Term shall be in effect only until the scheduled maturity date hereof. If any Fixed Rate Term would end on a day that is not a business day, then such Fixed Rate Term shall be extended to the next succeeding business day.
The Company may prepay principal on the Term Note at any time and in the minimum amount of $500,000; provided however, that if the outstanding principal balance of the Term Note is less than $500,000, the minimum prepayment amount shall be the entire outstanding principal balance hereof. In consideration of Wells Fargo’s providing the prepayment option to the Company, or if the Term Note shall become due and payable at any time prior to the last day of any Fixed Rate Term by acceleration or otherwise, the Company will pay to Wells Fargo immediately upon demand a fee equal to the sum of the discounted monthly differences for each month from the month of prepayment through the month in which such Fixed Rate Term matures, calculated as follows for each such month:
|
|
(i)
|
The Company will determine the amount of interest which would have accrued each month on the amount prepaid at the interest rate applicable to such amount had it remained outstanding until the last day of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto.
|
|
|
(ii)
|
The Company then will subtract from the amount determined in clause (i) above the amount of interest that would have accrued for the same month on the amount prepaid for the remaining term of such Fixed Rate Term at LIBOR in effect on the date of prepayment for new loans made for such term and in a principal amount equal to the amount prepaid.
|
|
|
(iii)
|
If the result obtained in clause (ii) for any month is greater than zero, the Company will discount that difference by the LIBOR rate used in clause (ii) above to determine the amount to be paid to the Bank.
|
Other General Terms of the Credit Agreement
The Company and Wells Fargo agreed to a commitment fee of $84,000 payable to Wells Fargo upon the funding of the Credit Agreement, which is equal to one tenth of one percent (0.10%) of the maximum amount of the Line of Credit and Term Loan.
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the occurrence of any the following will constitute an “Event of Default” under the Credit Agreement:

The security interest was granted to secure the Company’s payment of all present and future indebtedness to the Bank, and all obligations of the Company to the Bank, both present and future (collectively, the “Indebtedness”). The Security Agreement will terminate upon the performance of all of the Company’s obligations to the Bank under the Credit Agreement. The Security Agreement lists certain events of default, upon the occurrence of which the Bank has the right to declare all of the Indebtedness owed by the Company immediately due and payable.
In addition to the Security Agreement, each of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries entered into a Third Party Security Agreement and a Continuing Guaranty Agreement, with the Bank. See discussions below under “Third Party Security Agreements,” and “Continuing Guaranties.”

|
The Pledge Agreement will terminate upon the performance of all of the Company’s obligations to the Bank under the Credit Agreement. The Pledge Agreement lists certain events of default, upon the occurrence of which the Bank has the right to declare all of the Indebtedness owed by the Company immediately due and payable.

See below under “iFrogz Third Party Pledge Agreement.”
In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, each guarantor listed above only pledges 65% of the equity interests in any foreign subsidiary held by such guarantor, and, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event does any guarantor pledge more than 65% of the equity interests in any foreign subsidiary and no Third Party General Pledge Agreement applies to more than 65% of the equity interests of any foreign subsidiary.

In connection with the Credit Agreement and the Indebtedness of the Company to the Bank, ZAGG Intellectual Property Holding Co., Inc. (“ZAGG IP”), ZAGG Retail, Inc. (“ZAGG Retail”), iFrogz Inc.

Each of the Third Party Security Agreements is similar in form and operation to the Security Agreement. Additionally, each Subsidiary entered into a Continuing Guaranty, pursuant to which each Subsidiary agreed to unconditionally guarantee, jointly and severally, the obligations of the Company to pay the Indebtedness to the Bank. Under the Continuing Guaranties, each Subsidiary acknowledged that the obligations thereunder are joint and several and are independent of the obligations of the Company to the Bank, and that separate actions could be brought against each Subsidiary, irrespective of whether any action was brought against the Company or whether the Company or any other person was joined in such action. Finally, pursuant to the Continuing Guaranties, any indebtedness of the Company to any Subsidiary was subordinated to the Indebtedness of the Company to the Bank.
iFrogz Third Party Pledge Agreement
iFrogz entered into a Third Party Pledge Agreement, pursuant to which iFrogz pledged, as security for its obligations in connection with any Indebtedness owed by the Company to the Bank under the Credit Agreement, certain of its property, including the following:

Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
Randall Hales Employment Agreement
On December 11, 2012, Randall L. Hales entered into an employment agreement (the “Hales Agreement”) with the Company.
Pursuant to the Hales Agreement, Mr. Hales will serve as Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors.

If a Separation (as defined in the Hales Agreement) occurs because Mr. Hales’ at-will employment is terminated by the Company without cause, and if he signs a general release of known and unknown claims in form satisfactory to the Company, he will receive severance payments equal to his current compensation, less applicable withholding, for 12 months after the date of the Separation. His current compensation shall mean the sum of his base salary plus his current annual targeted bonus amount.
