Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 12, 2026, Frequency Electronics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a senior, secured revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the lender (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a three-year revolving credit facility of $10,000,000, of which up to $5,000,000 is available for the issuance of letters of credit. The Credit Agreement provides that the Company may, at its option, increase the aggregate amount of the revolving credit facility in an amount up to $10,000,000, subject to certain customary conditions and on the terms set forth in the Credit Agreement. There can be no assurance that additional funding will become available. Commitments under the revolving credit facility are subject to a commitment fee of 0.35% per annum on the daily amount of the undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by FEI-Zyfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Subsidiary Guarantor”). The revolving credit facility matures on June 12, 2029.
The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor also entered into a separate pledge and security agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as lender, pursuant to which the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor each pledged all or substantially all of its assets, including equity in its domestic subsidiaries, in favor of the lender as collateral for the obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other loan documents.
Loans designated by the Company at the time of borrowing as “CBFR Borrowings” that are outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) the greater of (a) the Prime Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in effect on such day or (b) 2.50%; plus (ii) 2.50%. Loans designated by the Company at the time of borrowing as “SOFR Borrowings” that are outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the interest period in effect for such borrowing plus 2.50%. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, accrued interest on each Loan is payable in arrears on the applicable interest payment date for each Loan. The Loans under the Credit Agreement may be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty (other than any accrued interest or breakage costs, if applicable). The Company expects that the proceeds from the Credit Agreement will be used for general corporate purposes and to provide general working capital.
The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on mergers, consolidations and sales of assets, limitations on indebtedness, liens and sales and leasebacks, limitations on transactions with affiliates, limitations on investments, limitations on dividends and distributions and limitations on swap agreements, as well as other customary terms and provisions. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains financial covenants specifying that, as of the end of each fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2026, (i) the total leverage ratio will not exceed 2.25 to 1.00 and (ii) the fixed charge coverage ratio will not be less than 1.25 to 1.00. The Credit Agreement also contains events of default customary for such financings, the occurrence of which would permit the lenders to accelerate the amount due thereunder. Such events of default include failure to pay principal, failure to pay interest and other amounts within three days of the due date, failure to comply with a covenant beyond any applicable grace period, material misrepresentations, default beyond the applicable grace period on other material indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company and its subsidiaries, guarantor defaults, judgment defaults and change of control, among others.
The lender and its affiliates have various relationships with the Company and its subsidiaries involving the provision of financial services.
The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement, which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
