Entry into
a Material Definitive Agreement
Financial Institution
On June 9, 2016, Bridgeline Digital, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Heritage Bank of Commerce (the "Heritage Loan Agreement"). The Heritage Loan Agreement has a twenty-four (24) month term which expires on June 9, 2018. The Heritage Loan Agreement provides for up to $3 million of revolving credit advances which may be used for working capital purposes. Borrowings are limited to the lesser of (i) $3 million and (ii) 75% of eligible receivables as defined in the Heritage Loan Agreement. In addition, the Company can borrow up to $1.0 million in out of formula borrowings as long as the combined loan balance does not exceed $3 million. Borrowings bear interest at the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 1.75%. The Company shall pay an annual commitment fee of 0.40% in year 1 of the loan and an annual commitment fee of 0.20% in year 2 of the loan. Borrowings are secured by all of the Company's assets including intellectual property and general intangibles. Pursuant to the Heritage Loan Agreement, the Company is also required to comply with certain financial covenants. The Heritage Loan Agreement replaced the Company's prior credit facility with Western Alliance Bank (formerly Bridge Bank). Mr. Michael Taglich, a current member of the Company's Board of Directors has entered into a personal guaranty (the "Personal Guaranty") pursuant to which he has agreed to guaranty up to $2 million of the loan.
The description of each of the Loan Agreement and the Personal Guaranty contained in this Form 8-K is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of each of the Loan Agreement and the Personal Guaranty that the Company filed as an exhibit to this Form 8-K.
Private Placement
On June 10, 2016, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of $645,000 of subordinated convertible notes (the "Notes"). This was the second closing of the private placement ("Second Closing"), in which the initial closing ("Initial Closing") was held on May 11, 2016. Taglich Brothers, Inc. ("Taglich Brothers") served as placement agent for the transaction. Through the Second Closing, the Company has sold $1,980,000 of Notes and received net proceeds from this private placement of $1,568,600.
The Notes accrue interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum beginning July 1, 2016 and mature on March 31, 2017. Upon issuance, all of the Notes immediately converted into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.75 per share.
The Notes contain customary events of default. Upon the occurrence of any event of default the interest rate under the Notes will increase. In addition, upon the occurrence of a payment default under the Notes, the Company must pay a premium equal to ten percent (10%) of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes.
The Company entered into a Placement Agreement (the "Placement Agreement") with Taglich Brothers, dated March 31, 2016. Pursuant to the Placement Agreement, as compensation for acting as placement agent, in connection with the Second Closing, the Company paid Taglich Brothers a cash payment of
$51,600
and issued to Taglich Brothers, or its designees, five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 86,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to $0.75 per share. Through the Second Closing, the Company has paid Taglich Brothers an aggregate cash payment of $160,000 and issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 266,668 shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable starting on the sixth-month anniversary of the Initial Closing date, provide the holders piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the warrants and contain a cashless exercise provision. Mr. Michael Taglich and Mr. Robert Taglich, current members of the Company's Board of Directors, are principals of Taglich Brothers.
The shares of common stock issued upon conversion of the Notes and issuable upon exercise of the warrants are restricted securities and may be sold only pursuant to Rule 144 or in another transaction exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock issued upon conversion of the Notes in the event the Company files a registration statement, with certain limited exceptions.
The description of agreements and securities contained in this Form 8-K is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements and securities that the Company filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits to this Form 8-K.
