Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On August 18, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), Lantronix, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment (“Amendment”) to its existing Loan and Security Agreement dated May 23, 2006 (the “Loan Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Bank”).

The Amendment provides, among other things, for:

(1)  a limited waiver regarding the minimum tangible net worth financial covenant set forth in Section 6.9(a) of the Loan Agreement for the compliance periods ending May 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011;

(2)  a modification of the minimum tangible net worth financial covenant in the Loan Agreement to require that the Company meet a tangible net worth of at least the following (“Minimum Tangible Net Worth”):

Month Ending
Minimum TNW
July 31, 2011
$3,000,000
August 31, 2011
$3,000,000
September 30, 2011
$3,000,000
October 31, 2011
$3,000,000
November 30, 2011
$3,000,000
December 31, 2011
$3,000,000
January 31, 2012
$3,500,000
February 29, 2012
$3,500,000
March 31, 2012
$3,500,000
April 30, 2012 and each month ending thereafter
$4,500,000

 
plus, in each instance, (i) 50% of all consideration received after the Effective Date for equity securities and subordinated debt of the Company, plus (ii) 50% of the Company’s net income in each fiscal quarter ending on or after June 30, 2012.  Increases in the Minimum Tangible Net Worth (as defined in the Amendment) based on consideration received for equity securities and subordinated debt of the Company shall be effective as of the end of the month in which such consideration is received, and shall continue effective thereafter. Increases in the Minimum Tangible Net Worth based on net income shall be effective on the last day of the fiscal quarter in which said net income is realized, and shall continue effective thereafter. In no event shall the Minimum Tangible Net Worth be decreased;
 
(3)          a modification of the interest rate set forth in Section 2.3(a)(ii) of the Loan Agreement such that  interest will accrue at a per annum rate equal to 2.50  percentage points above the Prime Rate, payable monthly.  If Company achieves two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters of EBITDA greater than $1.00 (commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2011 or any fiscal quarter ending thereafter), and only for so long as Company maintains EBITDA greater than $1.00 at the end of each subsequent fiscal quarter, then the principal amount outstanding under the Term loan (as defined in the Loan Agreement) shall accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to 1.50 percentage points above the Prime Rate, payable monthly.  The decrease (or subsequent increase) shall go into effect on the first day of the month immediately following the Bank’s receipt, review and approval of Company’s financial statements evidencing that an adjustment is warranted.  If the Bank determines an increase to the interest rate is warranted, such increase may be put into effect as of the first day of the month immediately following the date on which such financial statements were due, even if delivery of the financial statement is delayed; and

(4)          the addition of a definition for EBITDA which shall mean (a) Net Income (as defined in the Loan Agreement), plus (b) Interest Expense (as defined in the Loan Agreement), plus (c) to the extent deducted in the calculation of Net Income, depreciation expense and amortization expense, plus (d) income tax expense.
 
 
The foregoing summary of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference.
