Note 19 – Subsequent Events

On October 4, 2019, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Kona Grill, Inc. and its affiliates (“Kona Grill”), comprising 24 domestic restaurants and one international franchise agreement. The Company purchased the assets for $25.0 million in cash and the assumption of approximately $11.0 million in working capital liabilities. The purchase was financed with proceeds from a credit and guaranty agreement the Company entered into with Goldman Sachs Bank USA on October 4, 2019 (“Goldman Sachs Credit Agreement”), which replaced the Company’s Bank of America Credit Agreement.

The Goldman Sachs Credit Agreement provides for a secured revolving credit facility of $12.0 million and a $48.0 million term loan. The term loan is payable in quarterly installments, with the final payment due in October 2024. The revolving credit facility also matures in October 2024.

The Goldman Sachs Credit Agreement contains several financial covenants, including the following:

A minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of (i) 1.35 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter ending on or prior to June 30, 2021 and (ii) 1.50 to 1.00 as of any fiscal quarter thereafter;

A maximum consolidated leverage ratio of (i) 2.75 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter ending on or prior to March 31, 2020, (ii) 2.50 to 1.00 as of the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2020, (iii) 2.25 to 1.00 as of the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020, (iv) 2.00 to 1.00 as of the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2021, (v) 1.75 to 1.00 as of the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021, (vi) 1.70 to 1.00 as of the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021, (vii) 1.65 to 1.00 as of the fiscal quarter ending December 21, 2021 and (viii) 1.50 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter thereafter;

Maximum consolidated capital expenditures not to exceed (i) $10,000,000 in 2020 and (ii) $8,000,000 in 2021 and every fiscal year thereafter; and,

Minimum consolidated liquidity not to be less than $1,500,000 at any time.

The Goldman Sachs Credit Agreement has several borrowing and interest rate options, including the following: (a) a LIBOR rate (or a comparable successor rate) subject to a 1.75% floor or (b) a base rate equal to the greatest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (iii) the LIBOR rate for a one-month period plus 1.00% or (iv) 4.75%. Loans under the Goldman Sachs Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum using the applicable indices plus a varying interest rate margin of between 5.75% and 6.75% (for LIBOR rate loans) and 4.75% and 5.75% (for base rate loans).

The Goldman Sachs Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and conditions to borrowing including customary affirmative and negative covenants, which include covenants that limit or restrict the Company’s ability to incur indebtedness and other obligations, grant liens to secure obligations, make investments, merge or consolidate, and dispose of assets outside the ordinary course of business, in each case subject to customary exceptions for credit facilities of this size and type.

The Company and certain operating subsidiaries of the Company guarantee the obligations under the Goldman Sachs Credit Agreement, which also are secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.
