On June 15, 2010, the Company entered into a credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent, and KeyBank National Association as Documentation Agent. The facility initially consisted of a $30.0 million term loan and a $5.0 million revolving credit facility, both of which originally matured in June 2014. Interest on the term loan was payable at the Company’s choice of LIBOR plus 4.5% or the Bank of America prime rate plus 3.5%. As of December 31, 2011 interest was payable at LIBOR plus 4.5%, which equaled approximately 4.78%.

In conjunction with the acquisition of First Biomedical in 2010, the Company entered into a subordinated promissory note with the former majority shareholder of First Biomedical (the Seller) in the amount of $0.8 million. In accordance with the note, the Company paid the Seller in equal installments over 24 months, which included annual interest of 5%. As of December 31, 2011 the outstanding principal due on the note was $0.2 million. The note was fully settled as of December 31, 2012.

In February 2012, a concerned stockholder group (“Concerned Stockholder Group”) requested a special stockholders’ meeting (the “Special Meeting”) as described in the 2011 Form 10-K.

If the Special Meeting had resulted in a change in the majority of our Board of Directors (the “Board”) under the terms of the Company’s credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. and KeyBank National Association (the “Lenders”), a change in the majority of the Board would have constituted a change in control and an event of default, which would have allowed the Lenders to cause the debt to be immediately due and payable. This possibility of a change in the majority representation of the Board and consequent event of default under the credit facility, which would have allowed the Lenders to cause the debt of $24.0 million as of December 31, 2011 to become immediately due and payable, raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The 2011 consolidated financial statements did not include any adjustments, if any, that would have resulted from the outcome of this uncertainty. As further described herein, although a change in the board composition took place during the second quarter of 2012, the Company negotiated an amendment to its credit agreement to exclude this change of board members from its definition of an event of default and the Special Meeting was cancelled.

This amendment, the Fifth Amendment, was executed on April 24, 2012 and accelerated the maturity to July 2012 and added a monthly fee equal to one (1) percent “ticking fee” on outstanding amounts under that facility beginning in August 2012.

On November 30, 2012, the Company entered into a credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank as Administrative Agent and PennantPark as Lenders. The facility consisted of a $12.0 million Term Loan A (provided by Wells Fargo), a $14.5 million Term Loan B (provided by PennantPark) and a $10.0 million revolving credit facility, all of which mature on November 30, 2016, collectively (the “Credit Facility”). Interest on the term loan is payable at the Company’s choice of LIBOR plus 7.25% (with a LIBOR floor of 2.0%) or the Wells Fargo prime rate plus 6.25% (with a prime rate floor of 3.0%). As of December 31, 2012, interest was payable at LIBOR plus 7.25%, which equaled 9.25%.

Proceeds from Term Loan A and Term Loan B were used for general corporate purposes as well as to repay the outstanding balance of the Company’s the Bank of America credit agreement.

Availability under the revolving credit facility is based upon the Company’s eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had revolving loan gross availability of $6.5 million and outstanding amounts totaling $1.8 million, leaving approximately $4.7 million available under the revolving credit facility.

 

The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets and requires the Company to comply with covenants, including but not limited to, financial covenants relating to the satisfaction, on a quarterly and annual basis for the duration of the Credit Facility, of a total leverage ratio, a fixed charge coverage ratio and an annual limit on capital expenditures, including capital leases. As of December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants and expects to be in compliance over the next 12 months.

In connection with the Credit Facility, the Company has the following covenant obligations for the duration of the facility:

 

  a) The fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated in accordance with the agreement governing the Credit Facility. This covenant is first required to be reported as of March 31, 2013 and has a minimum ratio at that time of 1.25:1. The required ratio varies quarterly for the remainder of the facility duration, from 1.25:1 to 2.00:1.

 

  b) The leverage ratio is calculated in accordance with the agreement governing the Credit Facility. This covenant is first required to be reported as of March 31, 2013 and has a maximum ratio at that time of 2.50:1. The required ratio varies quarterly for the remainder of the facility duration, from 2.50:1 to 1.00:1.

 

  c) The Credit Facility includes an annual limitation on capital expenditures in accordance with the agreement governing the Credit Facility that is $1.25 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 and $5.5 million for each year ending December 31, 2013 through 2016.

In conjunction with the new credit facility, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $2.4 million. These costs are recognized in income using the effective interest method through the maturity date of November 30, 2016. Also, the Company incurred deferred debt issuance costs in 2010 in conjunction with the Bank of America loan agreement. The remaining unamortized debt costs, in respect to the previous loan agreement, were completely recognized when the Company executed the Fifth Amendment to that credit agreement on April 24, 2012. At that time, the Company also capitalized certain costs of $0.2 million incurred in the negotiation and execution of the Fifth Amendment which were to be amortized through the maturity date of July 30, 2013. The remaining unamortized debt costs, from the Fifth Amendment, were written off to loss on extinguishment of debt on the Company’s Statement of Operations when the Company executed the Wells Fargo loan agreement and repaid in full the Bank of America loan agreement on November 30, 2012. Amortization of all deferred debt issuance costs for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $0.2 million, including $0.1 million of our old credit facility, and were recorded in interest expense.

The Company sometimes enters into capital leases to finance the purchase of ambulatory infusion pumps. The pumps are capitalized into property and equipment at their fair market value, which equals the value of the future minimum lease payments, and are depreciated over the useful life of the pumps.

The Company had approximate future maturities of loans and capital leases as of December 31, 2012 as follows (in thousands):
