LINE OF CREDIT | 5. LINE OF CREDIT
The Company executed an Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement (as amended, the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), with Webster Business Credit Corporation (“Webster”), Flushing Bank (“Flushing”) and Mizrahi Tefahot Bank Ltd (“Mizrahi” and together with Webster and Flushing, the “Lenders”), which established the Company’s credit line (the “Webster Credit Line”). Currently, the Webster Credit Line provides the Company with a credit line of $32.5 million in the aggregate until February 28, 2026, secured by assignments of mortgages and other collateral. The interest rates relating to the Webster Credit Line equal (i) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a premium, which rate aggregated approximately 7.9%, including a 0.5% agency fee, as of June 30, 2025, or (ii) a Base Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) plus 2.00% and a 0.5% agency fee, as chosen by the Company for each drawdown. The Company does not believe there will be any issues in extending the Webster Credit Line or securing a similar line from another bank before its expiration.
The Webster Credit Line contains various covenants and restrictions including, among other covenants and restrictions, limiting the amount that the Company can borrow relative to the value of the underlying collateral, maintaining various financial ratios and limitations on the terms of loans the Company makes to its customers, limiting the Company’s ability to pay dividends under certain circumstances, and limiting the Company’s ability to repurchase its common shares, sell assets, engage in mergers or consolidations, grant liens, and enter into transactions with affiliates. In addition, the Webster Credit Line contains a cross-default provision which will deem any default under any indebtedness owed by the Company or its subsidiary, MBC Funding II, as a default under the credit line. Under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company may repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire its equity securities in an amount not to exceed ten percent of the Company’s annual net income from the prior fiscal year. Further, the Company may issue up to $20 million in bonds through its subsidiary, of which not more than $10 million of such bonds may be secured by mortgage notes receivable, and provided that the terms and conditions of such bonds are approved by Webster, subject to its reasonable discretion. In addition, Mr. Ran has provided a personal guaranty for the potential amounts owed under the Webster Credit line, with such guaranty not to exceed the sum of $1,000,000 plus any costs relating to the enforcement of the personal guaranty.
The Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Webster Credit Line, as amended, as of June 30, 2025. At June 30, 2025, the outstanding amount under the Amended Credit Agreement was $16,523,205. The interest rate on the amount outstanding fluctuates daily. The rate, including a 0.5% agency fee, was approximately 7.9% as of June 30, 2025.
