MidCap Financial Trust

On May 10, 2017, we entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with MidCap Financial Trust (“MidCap Financial Trust”), as a lender and as agent for itself and other lenders under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provided us with a $12,000 revolving line of credit, which may be increased to $16,000 under certain terms and conditions (the “MidCap Revolver”). The MidCap Revolver had a stated maturity date of May 10, 2020. The MidCap Revolver was collateralized by a security interest in substantially all of our assets. The lender was also secured by an inventory repurchase agreement with Whirlpool Corporation for Whirlpool purchases only.

On March 22, 2018, the Company terminated the Credit Agreement, together with the related revolving loan note and pledge agreement. The Company did not incur any termination penalties as a result of the termination of the Credit Agreement. The Company classified the MidCap Revolver as a current liability until March 22, 2018, at which time the MidCap Revolver was terminated and paid in full. The security interests held by the Lender in substantially all Company assets were released following termination and payoff on March 22, 2018.

AFCO Finance

On July 2, 2018, we entered into a financing agreement with AFCO Credit Corporation (“AFCO”) purchased through Marsh Insurance to fund the annual premiums on insurance policies due June 1, 2018. These policies related to workers’ compensation and various liability policies including, but not limited to, General, Auto, Umbrella, Property, and Directors’ and Officers’ insurance. The total amount of the premiums financed was $556 with an interest rate of 4.5%. An initial down payment of $56 was due before July 1, 2018 with additional monthly payments of: $57 will be made beginning July 1, 2018 and ending September 1, 2018; and $65 will be made beginning October 1, 2018 and ending March 1, 2019.

On June 1, 2019 we entered into two other financing agreements with AFCO purchased through Marsh Insurance to fund annual premiums on insurance policies due June 1, 2019.  These policies related to worker’s compensation and various liability policies including but not limited to, General Auto, Umbrella, Property, Directors’ and Officers’ insurance. The total amount of the premiums financed in aggregate was $471 at an annual percentage rate of 4.9%.  An initial down payment of $103 was due at signing with additional monthly payments of $54 due starting on July 1, 2019 and continuing through March 1, 2020.

The outstanding principal due AFCO at December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018 was $155 and $193, respectively.

GE

On August 14, 2017 as a part of the sale of the Company’s equity interest in AAP, Recleim LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Recleim”), agreed to undertake, pay or assume the Company’s GE obligations consisting of a promissory note (GE 8% loan agreement) and other payables which were incurred after the issuance of such promissory note. Recleim has agreed to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any action to be taken by GE relating to such obligations. The Company has an offsetting receivable due from Recleim. Recleim has paid into an escrow account the money to pay the GE 8% loan agreement in full. The money will not be remitted to GE until the outcome of the arbitration of the legal matter described in Note 15.
