On November 21, 2014, Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and other lender parties thereto.  Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the lenders agreed to provide the Company’s primary operating subsidiary with a $10 million senior term loan and a $5 million revolving line of credit.  Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at variable rates depending on the Company’s election, either at a base rate or at LIBOR, in each case, plus an applicable margin.  Subject to the Company’s leverage ratio, the applicable base rate margin will vary from 3.25% to 4.25% and the applicable LIBOR rate margin will vary from 4.25% to 5.25%.  In addition, the Company also will be required to pay customary fees and expenses.  At closing, the Company repaid indebtedness under its prior credit facility using approximately $7.4 million of the proceeds provided by the term loan.  The prior credit facility was terminated concurrent with the entry of the Credit Agreement.

 

The term loan and line of credit mature on November 21, 2019 and provide support for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes, including permitted acquisitions. Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement are limited to a percentage of the Company’s maintenance, support term license, hosting, and subscription revenues for the preceding 12 months.  The term loan and line of credit have been guaranteed by the Company and its other subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.  The Credit Agreement includes customary financial covenants, including the requirement that the Company maintain minimum liquidity of $5 million and the requirement that the Company achieve certain minimum EBITDA levels.  The Credit Agreement also includes negative covenants limiting, subject to exceptions, certain liens, indebtedness, investments, acquisitions, dispositions of assets, restricted payments and the business activities of the Company, as well as customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default, including cross defaults and a change of control default.

 

This description is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement, which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2015.

 

Certain of the lenders under the Credit Agreement and their affiliates have provided and may continue to provide investment banking, commercial banking, financial services, or other services to the Company and its affiliates.  For these services, the Company paid, and in the future may pay, these lenders and their affiliates customary fees and commissions.
