Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 19, 2011, Ultralife Corporation (the “Company”), together with the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrowers”), entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) with RBS Business Capital, a division of RBS Asset Finance, Inc. (“RBS”), with respect to the Company’s senior secured asset based revolving credit facility of up to $35.0 million (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility has a maturity date of February 17, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”). The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets.
The First Amendment amends the Credit Facility as follows:
Eligible accounts receivable under the Credit Facility (for the determination of available borrowings) now include foreign (non-U.S.) accounts subject to credit insurance payable to RBS (formerly, such accounts were not eligible without arranging letter of credit facilities satisfactory to RBS).
Interest will accrue on outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Facility at one of two LIBOR rates plus a margin of 3.00% (formerly, this margin was 4.50%). Subject to certain conditions, the Company will have the option to convert the interest rate under the Credit Facility to a LIBOR Advantage Rate or the Prime Rate (formerly, the option to convert to the Prime Rate was unavailable). The rate of interest under the Credit Facility can fluctuate based on the excess availability average as set forth in the following table:
                         
Excess Availability Average   LIBOR Rate Plus     LIBOR Advantage Rate Plus     Prime Rate Plus  
 
                       
Greater than $10,000,000
    3.00 %     3.00 %     1.00 %
 
                       
Greater than $6,000,000 but less than or equal to $10,000,000
    3.25 %     3.25 %     1.25 %
 
                       
Greater than $3,000,000 but less than or equal to $6,000,000
    3.50 %     3.50 %     1.50 %
The Credit Facility imposes a limit of $3,000,000 (formerly, $1,000,000) on loans or other advances and/or investments made by the Company in or to any of our U.S. subsidiaries.
All other terms of the Credit Facility remain unchanged.
The First Amendment is attached to this Report as Exhibit 10.1.
