Item 1.01
|
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On July 9, 2020, Global Eagle Entertainment Inc. (the Company or we) entered into an Eleventh Amendment to Credit Agreement
(the Eleventh Amendment) among the Company, the guarantors party thereto (the Guarantors), the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the Administrative Agent), which
Eleventh Amendment amends the terms of that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of January 6, 2017 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, including pursuant to the Eleventh Amendment, the Credit
Agreement), by and among the Company, the Guarantors identified on the signature pages thereto, each lender from time to time party thereto and the Administrative Agent.
The Eleventh Amendment modified the Credit Agreement, including, with respect to the following terms:
|
|
The timing of an occurrence of an event of default as a result of a failure to pay interest on any loan due on
July 9, 2020 has been extended from five business days after such date until August 1, 2020.
|
|
|
The lenders have agreed to waive until August 1, 2020 any default or event of default arising under the Credit
Agreement as a result of any failure to timely pay interest on any loan due on July 9, 2020.
|
|
|
In connection with the Eleventh Amendment, the Company agreed that so long as such interest remains unpaid, all loans
outstanding under the Credit Agreement will accrue interest at the default rate (with any such default interest being payable no earlier than August 1, 2020).
|
The Eleventh Amendment was conditioned upon the Companys payment of an amendment fee (the Amendment Fee) to the consenting lenders
equal to 2.0% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term B Loans held by such consenting lender on the date of the Eleventh Amendment, with such fee being payable in kind by adding the Amendment Fee to the outstanding principal amount of
the Term B Loans held by such consenting lender (with such portion of the Amendment Fee thereafter being treated as outstanding principal of Term B Loans for all purposes under the Credit Agreement), and payment of related advisor costs and
expenses.
Item 2.03
|
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
|
The information set forth under Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 2.04
|
Triggering Events That Accelerate of Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.
|
The payment of the Amendment Fee described under Item 1.01
above pursuant to the Eleventh Amendment increased the aggregate amount of the Companys obligations under the Credit Agreement. The information set forth under Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 7.01
|
Regulation FD Disclosure.
|
A copy of the press release discussing the Companys pursuit of various strategic alternatives with certain lenders under the Credit Agreement to
address its liquidity and capital structure is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
As disclosed in the
Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company previously concluded that factors evaluated by the Company raised substantial doubt as to the Companys
ability to continue as a going concern for a period within 12 months following July 6, 2020. In addition, due to the Companys current financial constraints, there is a substantial risk that it may be necessary for the Company to seek
protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.
Election Not to Make Interest Payment under Senior Credit Agreement
On July 9, 2020, the Company elected not to make an approximately $11 million interest payment under the Credit Agreement. As discussed
above, as a result of the Eleventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement, such failure does not constitute an event of default under the Credit Agreement until and unless it is not paid on August 1, 2020. If such payment is not made on or
prior to August 1, 2020, the resulting event of default would enable the lenders thereunder to accelerate the repayment of amounts outstanding and exercise remedies with respect to the collateral. If the Companys lenders under its credit
facilities demand immediate payment, it will not have sufficient cash to repay such indebtedness. In addition, certain payment defaults under the Companys credit facilities or the lenders accelerating their claims thereunder would trigger
cross-default provisions in the Companys other indebtedness and certain other operating agreements. These and other ramifications are discussed under the caption Liquidity, Going Concern and Managements Plan in the
Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 6, 2020.
