ITEM 2.04 Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.
On September 20, 2017, Appliance Recycling Centers of America, Inc. (the “Company”) received a written notice of default, dated September 20, 2017 (the “Notice of Default”), from MidCap Funding X Trust (the “Agent”), asserting that events of default had occurred with respect to that certain Credit and Security Agreement dated May 10, 2017 (the “Loan Agreement”), by and among the Agent and certain other Lenders (the “Lenders”), and the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”). The Agent alleges in the Notice of Default that, as a result of the Company’s recent acquisition of GeoTraq Inc. (“GeoTraq”), and the issuance of promissory notes to the stockholders of GeoTraq in connection with such acquisition, the Borrowers have failed to comply with certain terms of the Loan Agreement, and that such failure constitutes one or more Events of Default under the Loan Agreement. Specifically, the Notice of Default states that as a result of the acquisition and related issuance of promissory notes, the Borrowers have failed to comply with (i) a covenant not to incur additional indebtedness other than Permitted Debt (as defined in the Loan Agreement), without the Agent’s prior written consent, and a covenant not to make acquisitions or investments other than Permitted Acquisitions or Permitted Investments (as defined in the Loan Agreement). The Notice of Default also states that the Borrowers’ failure to pledge the stock in GeoTraq as collateral under the Loan Agreement and to make GeoTraq a “Borrower “ under the Loan Agreement will become an Event of Default if not cured within the applicable cure period. The Agent has reserved the right to avail itself of any other rights and remedies available to it at law or by contract, including the right to (a) withhold funding, increase reserves and suspend making further advances under the Loan Agreement, (b) declare all principal, interest and other sums owing in connection with the Loan Agreement immediately due and payable in full, (c) charge the Default Rate on amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement, and/or (d) exercise one or more rights and remedies with respect to any and all collateral securing the Loan Agreement. The Agent has not declared the amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement to be immediately due and payable but has imposed the default rate of interest 10.73%, which is 5% in excess of the rates otherwise payable under the Loan Agreement), effective as of August 18, 2017 and continuing until the Agent notifies the Borrowers that the specified Events of Default have been waived and no other Events of Default exist. As of the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the outstanding balance of borrowings under the Loan Agreement was approximately $3,021,375.
The Company strongly disagrees with the Lenders that any Event of Default has occurred and is reserving all of its options with respect to the Loan Agreement.
The Company and the Agent have begun discussions for forbearance of the default, however there can be no assurance the Company and the Agent will be able to agree on terms of the forbearance.
