Item 1.01.                                         Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 16, 2017, Summer Infant, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, Summer Infant (USA), Inc., Summer Infant Canada, Limited and Summer Infant Europe Limited (collectively, the “Summer Entities”), entered into an amendment and waiver (the “Loan Amendment”) to that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, originally dated as of April 21, 2015, among the Summer Entities, Bank of America, N.A., as agent, certain financial institutions party to the agreement from time to time as lenders, and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as sole lead arranger and sole book runner (as amended on December 10, 2015, May 24, 2016 and February 17, 2017, the “Loan Agreement”).

 

The parties entered into the Loan Amendment as a result of the bankruptcy filing by Toys “R” Us, Inc. on September 18, 2017.  Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, all rights to payment owing to the Company from Toys “R” Us for goods sold no longer constituted Eligible Accounts (as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement) because of the Toys “R” Us bankruptcy filing, and as a result the aggregate revolver loans under the Loan Agreement exceeded the applicable revolver borrowing base under the Loan Agreement requiring overadvances to be made under the Loan Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Loan Amendment, the lenders waived any violations of the Loan Agreement that may have occurred as a result of the overadvances, and certain provisions of the Loan Agreement were amended to provide additional flexibility to the Company in light of the Toys “R” Us bankruptcy filing, including:

 

·                   an amendment to the definition of EBITDA with respect to payments owed to the Company from Toys “R” Us accounts prior to September 18, 2017 that can be added back to the calculation of EBITDA;

 

·                   amendments to the definition of Eligible Account in order to (i) increase the amount of eligible accounts owing from Walmart or Amazon and (ii) to permit the Agent, in its discretion, to include Toys R Us accounts as Eligible Accounts;

 

·                   an amendment to the definition of “Revolver Borrowing Base” to include a temporary overadvance amount to be added into the calculation of the Revolver Borrowing Base; and

 

·                   amendments to the maximum leverage ratio for the fiscal quarters ending September 30 and December 30, 2017.

 

The foregoing summary of the Loan Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan Amendment, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

PRESS RELEASE

 

Summer Infant Enters Into Amended Credit Agreement

Provides Flexibility Given Toys “R” Us Bankruptcy

 

WOONSOCKET, R.I., October 20, 2017 — Summer Infant, Inc. (“Summer Infant” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SUMR), a global leader in premium juvenile products, today announced that the Company has amended its existing credit facility to provide near-term financial flexibility as a result of the bankruptcy filing by Toys “R” Us, Inc. (“TRU”) on September 18, 2017. As part of the amendment, Summer Infant’s lenders waived any loan violations that may have occurred due to “overadvances” made after TRU receivables were no longer deemed “eligible accounts” for purposes of the revolver borrowing base, reflecting the bankruptcy filing. The amendment also includes certain provisions to provide additional flexibility to the Company in light of the TRU insolvency proceedings, including permitting post-bankruptcy-filing TRU receivables to qualify as eligible accounts, as is further detailed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K being filed today with the SEC.

 

The bankruptcy of TRU negatively impacted net revenue of Summer Infant by approximately $2.3 million during the third quarter, primarily related to delayed shipments to Babies “R” Us. In addition, the Company expects to record a charge in the third quarter of approximately $2.1 million as an allowance for bad debt related to pre-bankruptcy petition accounts receivable from TRU.

 

Mark Messner, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We have analyzed our near term exposure to Babies “R” Us and believe it prudent to reserve an allowance for doubtful accounts given the time it may take for the bankruptcy to run its course. Going forward, we are taking the appropriate steps to serve this customer, actively manage our inventory, and roll out new products in the fourth quarter. We’re pleased that, once again, we were supported by all institutions participating in our credit agreement with regard to the amendment to provide near-term financial flexibility.”

 

The estimated impact of the TRU bankruptcy on the Company’s third quarter results is based on management’s preliminary financial analysis. The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not yet available and subject to adjustments. These preliminary estimates may differ materially from the actual results that will be reflected in the Company’s unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 when completed.

 

About Summer Infant, Inc.

 

Based in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, the Company is a global leader of premium juvenile products for ages 0-3 years which are sold principally to large North American and international retailers. The Company currently sells proprietary products in a number of different categories including nursery audio/video monitors, safety gates, durable bath products, bed rails, nursery products, strollers, booster and potty seats, swaddling blankets, bouncers, travel accessories, highchairs, swings, and infant feeding products.
