Line of Credit
Effective July 7, 2021, the Company obtained from JPMorgan Chase a $5.00 million
cash collateralized line of credit facility (the “JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility”). The JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility may be used for general corporate and working capital purposes, including permitted acquisitions and certain additional
indebtedness for borrowed money, installment obligations, and obligations under capital and operating leases. The JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility is secured by a cash deposit in the amount of $5.1 million held by JPMorgan Chase as collateral for the line of credit facility and was scheduled to mature on July 31, 2022. Effective July 28, 2022, the JPMorgan
Chase Credit Facility was amended to, among other things, extend the maturity date to July 31, 2023, and append the Company’s obligations under the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility to be guaranteed by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries,
Charles & Colvard Direct, LLC, charlesandcolvard.com, LLC, and moissaniteoutlet.com, LLC. Effective, June 21, 2023, the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility was amended further to extend the maturity date to July 31, 2024. Effective July 29,
2024, the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility was amended further to extend the maturity date to October 31, 2024, and effective October 31, 2024, the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility was amended further to extend the maturity date to January 31,
2025.
Each advance under the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility, as amended, accrues interest at a rate equal
to the sum of JPMorgan Chase’s monthly secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR rate”) to which JPMorgan Chase is subject with respect to the adjusted SOFR rate as established by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board, plus a margin of 1.25% per annum and an unsecured to secured interest rate adjustment of 0.10% per annum. Prior to the July 31, 2022 amendment, each advance under the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility would have accrued interest at a rate equal to JPMorgan Chase’s monthly
LIBOR rate multiplied by a statutory reserve rate for eurocurrency funding to which JPMorgan Chase is subject with respect to the adjusted LIBOR rate as established by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board, plus a margin of 1.25% per annum. Interest is calculated monthly on an actual/360-day basis and payable monthly in arrears. The interest rate on the credit
facility was 6.47% as of September 30, 2024. Principal outstanding during an event of default, at JPMorgan Chase’s option,
accrues interest at a rate of 3% per annum in excess of the above rate. Any advance may be prepaid in whole or in part without
penalty at any time.
The JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility is evidenced by a credit agreement, as amended, between JPMorgan Chase and the Company (the “JPMorgan Chase Credit Agreement”), effective as of June 21, 2023,
and customary ancillary documents, in the principal amount not to exceed $5.00 million at any one time outstanding and a line
of credit note (the “JPMorgan Chase Line of Credit Note”) in which the Company promises to pay on or before January 31, 2025, the amount of $5.00
million or so much thereof as may be advanced and outstanding. In the event of default, JPMorgan Chase, at its option, may accelerate the maturity of advances outstanding under the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility. The JPMorgan Chase Credit
Agreement and ancillary documents contain customary covenants, representations, fees, debt, contingent obligations, liens, loans, leases, investments, mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, subsidiaries, affiliate transactions, changes in
control, as well as indemnity, expense reimbursement, and confidentiality provisions.
In connection with
the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility, effective July 7, 2021, the Company incurred a non-refundable origination fee in the amount of $10,000
that was paid in full to JPMorgan Chase upon execution of the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility on July 12, 2021. No
origination fee was paid to JPMorgan Chase in connection with amending the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility on July 28, 2022, June 21, 2023, July 29, 2024, and October 31, 2024. The Company also agreed to maintain its primary banking
depository and disbursement relationship with JPMorgan Chase.
Events of default
under the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility include, without limitation, a default, event of default, or event that would constitute a default or event of default (pending giving notice or lapse of time or both), of any provision of the
JPMorgan Chase Credit Agreement, the JPMorgan Chase Line of Credit Note, or any other instrument or document executed in connection with the JPMorgan Chase Credit Agreement or with any of the indebtedness, liabilities, and obligations of
the Company to JPMorgan Chase or that would result from the extension of credit by JPMorgan Chase to the Company.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company
has borrowed $2.3 million against the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility and incurred $40,000 of interest expense related to the JPMorgan Chase Credit Facility. See Note 14, which notes on January 31, 2025, the Company elected not to renew the cash
collateralized $5.0 million line of credit facility with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A.
