Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously announced on a Current Report on Form 8-K on October 28, 2022, and as updated on a Current Report on Form 8-K on January 25, 2023, Harbor Custom Development, Inc. (the “Company”) has been working with BankUnited, N.A. (the “Lender”) to restructure its Loan (defined below) after failing to meet a financial covenant.
On or about February 23, 2023, the Company entered into that certain Amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “Amendment”) with the Lender for the restructuring of its Loan Agreement dated March 7, 2020 (the “Loan Agreement”), which loan currently consists of a $24,613,051 principal balance plus any accrued interest (the “Loan”).
Pursuant to the Amendment, the Lender agreed to:
i.waive any and all defaults to date in the Loan Agreement;
ii.waive the Company’s future compliance requirements with the financial covenants contained in Article 7 of the Loan Agreement until the Loan is repaid in full and the Loan Agreement terminated; and
iii.waive its right to accelerate the Loan and receive immediate payments.
In consideration of the Lender’s waivers described above, the Company agreed that it will:
•Not repurchase any of its currently outstanding securities;
•Not make any dividend payments to its Series A Preferred stockholders but instead pay the amount that would have been paid in dividends to the Series A Preferred stockholders to the Lender;
•Grant the Lender a second mortgage on the Company’s Winding Lane and Punta Gorda properties and remit to the Lender 25% of the net proceeds from any sales of such properties;
•Remit to the Lender 25% of the net proceeds of all asset sales;
•Remit to the Lender 25% of the net proceeds from public offerings of any class of stock or debt, private equity recaptures, and any capital raise;
•Transfer to the Lender the membership certificates of the Company’s subsidiaries, solely as collateral, in order to perfect the Lender’s security interests; and
•Not close on any new projects without Lender’s express written consent, but may continue to identify, conduct due diligence, and negotiate the purchase of new projects.
The aforementioned payments will continue to be made until the earlier of: (i) March 7, 2024 or (ii) the Loan has been repaid in full. If the Company fails to make any of the payments or meet any of the agreed upon conditions, such failure will constitute an event of default under the Loan Agreement. The Lender has no further lending obligations to the Company.
A copy of the press release announcing the Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
