On December 30, 2020, Legacy Airspan, together with Holdco, Airspan Networks (SG) Inc., Mimosa Networks, Inc., Mimosa Networks International, LLC, Airspan Communications Limited, Airspan Networks LTD, and Airspan Japan K.K. as guarantors, together with the other parties thereto, entered into the Assignment Agreement, the Resignation and Assignment Agreement, and a Reaffirmation and Omnibus Amendment, the result of which was the amendment and restatement of the terms of the PWB Facility under the Fortress Credit Agreement with the new lenders as the lenders thereunder. Fortress in its capacity became the administrative agent, collateral agent and trustee for the lenders and other secured parties. At Closing, on August 13, 2021, the Company, Legacy Airspan and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries who are party to the Fortress Credit Agreement entered into a Waiver and Consent, Second Amendment, Restatement, Joinder and Omnibus Amendment to Credit Agreement and Other Loan Documents relating to the Fortress Credit Agreement with Fortress to, among other things, add the Company as a guarantor, recognize and account for the Business Combination, recognize and account for the Convertible Notes and provide updated procedures for replacement of LIBOR. 

 

The Fortress Credit Agreement initial term loan total commitment of $34.0 million and a term loan commitment of $10.0 million were both funded to Legacy Airspan on December 30, 2020. Pursuant to the Fortress Credit Agreement, the Company may expand the term loan commitment by $20.0 million subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement. The maturity date of the total loan commitment is December 30, 2024. The Fortress Credit Agreement contains a prepayment premium of 5.0% if the prepayment occurs during the period from December 30, 2021 through December 29, 2022, and 3.0% if the prepayment occurs during the period from December 30, 2022 through December 29, 2023. The Fortress Credit Agreement also contains a prohibition on prepayment during the period from December 30, 2020 through December 29, 2021. Subsequent to December 29, 2021, the Company may prepay this loan but will incur a related fee in the amount of a make-whole amount of interest that would have been payable had such prepayment not been made.

  

As of September 30, 2021, the Company was not in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Fortress Credit Agreement; however, the Company was granted a waiver from compliance for these covenants as of September 30, 2021 and prospectively for December 31, 2021.

 

The Company had a senior term loan outstanding of $44.0 million, plus $1.8 million and $25 thousand of accrued interest as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
