Line of Credit | NOTE 5 – LINE OF CREDIT Activity involving the line of credit during the six months ended June 30 is presented in the following table ($ in thousands).
In March 2020, RMI IX entered into a revolving line of credit and term loan agreement with Western Alliance Bank (“WAB”) which is governed by the terms of the Business Loan Agreement between WAB and the company (“original credit agreement”), as amended and modified by the First Loan Modification Agreement made effective March 4, 2022 (the “2022 modification agreement” and together with the original credit agreement, the “2022 credit agreement”). Effective March 13, 2024, with the maturity of the 2022 credit agreement, WAB and the company entered into another extension and modification agreement (the “2024 modification agreement” and together with the original credit agreement, “the 2024 credit agreement”). Advances on the line of credit are to be used exclusively to fund secured loans. Under the terms of the 2024 credit agreement, RMI IX can borrow up to a maximum principal of $10 million pursuant to a line of credit subject to a borrowing base calculation set forth in the 2024 credit agreement and the amounts advanced are secured by a first priority security interest in the notes and deeds of trust of the pledged loans in the borrowing base. At June 30, 2025, aggregate principal of pledged loans was approximately $7.7 million, with a maximum allowed advance thereon of approximately $10 million, subject to the borrowing base calculation. The maturity date of the 2024 credit agreement is March 13, 2026, when all amounts outstanding become due. For a fee of one-quarter of one percent (0.25%), RMI IX has the option prior to maturity date to convert the then outstanding principal balance under the 2024 credit agreement to a two-year term loan maturing in March 2028. Interest on the outstanding principal is payable monthly and accrues at the annual rate that is the greater of: (i) the one-month Term SOFR Reference Rate (‘Term SOFR’) plus three and one-half percent (3.5%) and (ii) six percent (6.0%). The 2024 modification agreement replaced the 30-day American Interbank Offered Rate Term-30 Index published for loans in United States Dollars by the American Financial Exchange with the Term SOFR which is published for loans in United States dollars by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited and is obtained from Bloomberg Financial Services Systems with the code TSFR1M or, if no longer available, any similar or successor publication selected by WAB. The 2024 credit agreement provides for customary financial and borrowing base reporting by the company to the bank and specifies that the company shall maintain (i) minimum tangible net worth of $50 million, net of amounts due from related companies; (ii) debt service coverage ratio at all times of not less than 2.00 to 1.00; and (iii) loan payment delinquency of less than ten percent (10.0%) at calendar quarter-end, calculated as the principal of loans with payments over 61-days past due as determined by the bank’s guidance, less loan loss allowances, divided by total principal of the company’s loans. The 2024 credit agreement provides that in the event the credit payment delinquency rate exceeds 10.0% as of the end of any quarter, the bank will cease to make any further advances until the company is compliant with the covenant but agrees not to accelerate repayment of the loan. At June 30, 2025, the credit payment delinquency was 13.74%. If the company does not maintain the required compensating balance with a minimum daily average of $1.0 million for the calendar quarter, the interest rate automatically increases by one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) above that rate which would otherwise be applicable for the next calendar quarter retroactive to the beginning of the calendar quarter in which the compensating balance is not maintained. For each calendar quarter during which the aggregate average daily outstanding principal is less than fifty percent (50%) of the maximum principal of $10 million, there is a quarterly unused line fee equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum of the average daily difference between the average principal outstanding and fifty percent (50%) of the maximum principal of $10 million. The fair value of the balance on the line of credit is deemed to approximate the recorded amount as the interest rate and the other terms and conditions, including the two-year term, of the 2024 credit agreements is reflective of market rate terms (Level 2 inputs). The debt issuance costs of approximately $66 thousand from the 2024 modification agreement are being amortized on a straight line basis over the two-year term. Amortized debt issuance costs included in interest expense approximated $8 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and $16 thousand and $15 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. |
