Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On September 27, 2013, Geospace Technologies Corporation (the "Company") amended and restated its existing Loan Agreement dated
as of March 2, 2011 (the "Prior Loan Agreement"), among the Company, certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, and The Frost National Bank. The amended and restated loan agreement (the "2013 Loan
Agreement") among the Company, as borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors (the "Guarantors"), and Frost Bank, as lender (the "Lender") increased the permitted aggregated borrowings under the Prior Loan
Agreement from $25.0 million to $50.0 million and has further terms summarized below.
The 2013 Loan Agreement is a senior secured
revolving credit facility that permits aggregate borrowings of up to $50.0 million, all of which borrowings are available for letters of credit subject to outstanding loans and letter of credit liabilities. The maturity date of the 2013 Loan
Agreement is April 27, 2016. Each Guarantor has unconditionally guaranteed all existing and future indebtedness and obligations of the Company arising under the 2013 Loan Agreement and the other loan documents, and the Company and each
Guarantor have secured such indebtedness and obligations by the pledge of certain of the assets of the Company and each such Guarantor to the Lender.
Loans under the 2013 Loan Agreement bear interest by reference to the LIBOR rate. The applicable margin on such LIBOR rate loans varies from
2.50% to 3.25%, based upon the Company's funded debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined in the 2013 Loan Agreement). A letter of credit fee is payable by the Company equal to 2.0% of the face amount of each letter of credit issued. A commitment fee is
payable quarterly to the Lender equal to 0.20% of the average daily unused portion of the Lender's commitment per annum.
The 2013
Loan Agreement contains various customary representations and warranties by the Company as well as covenants, including, among other things, certain restrictions on the Company's ability to incur additional debt, create liens on its property,
make certain investments, sell assets outside of the ordinary course of business or become party to a merger or consolidation. The 2013 Loan Agreement also contains certain financial covenants, namely that the Company and its consolidated
