EMC Indebtedness

 

In connection with the closing (the “Closing”) of the EMC Acquisition (as defined below), on July 27, 2016, Global Eagle Entertainment Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its domestic subsidiaries (the “Global Eagle Subsidiary Guarantors”) entered into Joinder Agreements (each, a “Joinder Agreement”) to (i) a First Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2015, as amended by the Amendment No. 1 to First Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2016, by and among Emerging Markets Communications, LLC (the “Borrower”), Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as the Administrative Agent (the “First Lien Agent”), the guarantors party thereto (the “Existing First Lien Guarantors” and, together with the Global Eagle Subsidiary Guarantors, the Borrower and the Company, collectively, the “First Lien Loan Parties”) and the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “First Lien Lenders”) (as amended, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the “First Lien Credit Agreement”) and (ii) a Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2015, as amended by the Amendment No. 1 to Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2016, by and among the Borrower, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as the Administrative Agent (the “Second Lien Agent”), the guarantors party thereto (the “Existing Second Lien Guarantors” and, together with the Global Eagle Subsidiary Guarantors, the Borrower and the Company, collectively, the “Second Lien Loan Parties”) and the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Second Lien Lenders”) (as amended, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the “Second Lien Credit Agreement” and together with the First Lien Credit Agreement, the “MS Credit Facilities”). Pursuant thereto, the Company and the Global Eagle Subsidiary Guarantors became guarantors of all outstanding and future indebtedness of the Borrower under the MS Credit Facilities and subject to all terms, restrictions and obligations thereunder.

 

Pursuant to the First Lien Credit Agreement, the First Lien Lenders agreed to make loans in an original aggregate principal amount not to exceed $319,000,000, comprised of term loans (the “First Lien Term Loans”) and revolving loans (the “First Lien Revolving Loans” and together with the First Lien Term Loans, the “First Lien Loans”). In connection with the Closing, under an Incremental Amendment dated June 29, 2016 (the “Incremental Agreement”), the total revolving facility capacity under the First Lien Credit Agreement was increased from $35 million to $75.5 million. As of the Closing, the outstanding principal amounts of First Lien Term Loans and First Lien Revolving Loans were $265,320,000 and $28,000,000, respectively, and there was $6,000,000 of undrawn First Lien Revolving Loan capacity under the First Lien Credit Agreement.

Amounts borrowed under the First Lien Term Loans that are repaid or prepaid may not be re-borrowed. In addition, the First Lien Credit Agreement requires quarterly principal amortization payments of 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of First Lien Term Loans, subject to reduction as a result of the application of prepayments or cancellation of indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement.

Subject to certain exceptions, First Lien Revolving Loans bear interest at varying rates based on the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement), which ratio ranges from greater than 3.50:1.00 (corresponding to a higher interest rate) to less than or equal to 3.00:1.00 (corresponding to a lower interest rate).

 

Subject to certain conditions, the First Lien Loans may be voluntarily prepaid at any time without penalty or premium. The First Lien Credit Agreement also provides for mandatory prepayments relating to excess cash flow, asset dispositions, incurrence of indebtedness and casualty events, all subject to customary exceptions, conditions and qualifications.

 

Pursuant to the Second Lien Credit Agreement, the Second Lien Lenders agreed to make term loans (each such loan a “Second Lien Term Loan”) in an original aggregate principal amount not to exceed $92,000,000. As of the Closing, the outstanding principal amount of Second Lien Term Loans was $92,000,000.

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Second Lien Credit Agreement, (i) each Second Lien Base Rate Loan bears interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 8.625% and (ii) each Second Lien Eurocurrency Loan bears interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period (as defined in the Second Lien Credit Agreement) at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus a percentage per annum equal to 9.625%. Amounts borrowed under the Second Lien Credit Agreement that are repaid or prepaid may not be re-borrowed.

 

The Second Lien Credit Agreement provides for mandatory prepayments relating to excess cash flow, asset dispositions, incurrence of indebtedness and casualty events, all subject to customary exceptions, conditions and qualifications.

 

The obligations of the First Lien Lenders to make loans under the First Lien Credit Agreement and the obligations of the Second Lien Lenders to make loans under the Second Lien Credit Agreement are both subject to customary conditions precedent.

 

The First Lien Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants of the First Lien Loan Parties, as well as a financial covenant which requires that the Company maintain a certain maximum Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) measured at the end of each fiscal quarter for the life of the First Lien Loans, which Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio shall not exceed 3.75 to 1.00 until the fourth fiscal quarter in 2017, 3.50 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter in 2018, 3.25 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter in 2019 and 3.00 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter thereafter until the Latest Maturity Date (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement).

Under the First Lien Credit Agreement and Second Lien Credit Agreement, the First Lien Loan Parties and Second Lien Loan Parties, respectively, also make certain customary representations and warranties, and agree to certain customary post-closing obligations, including indemnification of the various administrative and other agents, lenders, arrangers and bookrunners. The MS Credit Facilities contain certain customary events of default, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of which all obligations under each of the First Lien Credit Agreement and Second Lien Credit Agreement may become immediately due and payable.

Mr. Avellan, age 45, co-founded EMC in 2000 and served as its Chief Executive Officer prior to the EMC Acquisition. Mr. Avellan has over 25 years of experience as a trained engineer and played a major role in developing several of EMC’s patented applications designed for bandwidth re-utilization, noise reduction and reduction of antenna sizes for fixed and mobile networks. Mr. Avellan holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering degree from Simón Bolívar University.

 

The Company and Mr. Avellan have entered into an Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”), dated July 27, 2016.

 

The Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Avellan will receive an annual base salary of $325,000. Subject to his achievement of certain individual and Company performance objectives to be established by the Company, Mr. Avellan will be eligible for an annual performance bonus with an initial current target of 75% of his annual base salary. Mr. Avellan is also entitled to participate in the Company’s employee benefit plans and programs on the same basis as those benefits are generally made available to other peer executives of the Company. If Mr. Avellan’s employment is terminated for any reason, Mr. Avellan will be entitled to receive any accrued but unpaid wages for the period prior to the date of termination and any accrued benefits owed to him for the period prior to the termination in accordance with the Company’s benefits plans then in effect in which he was participating as of the termination date. Further, if the Company terminates Mr. Avellan’s employment without “cause” or Mr. Avellan terminates his employment for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in the Employment Agreement), subject to Mr. Avellan entering into a general release and his continued compliance with the terms of the Employment Agreement and the Restrictive Covenant Agreement (as defined below), he will receive any earned but unpaid annual bonus for any completed fiscal year that ends on or before the termination date and continued payment of his then-current annual base salary for twelve months after the termination date.

 

In addition, on July 27, 2016, the Company granted Mr. Avellan (i) non-qualified stock options to purchase 450,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price per share of $8.03, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on NASDAQ on July 27, 2016 (the “Option Award”), one-third of which will vest on July 27, 2017 and the balance of which will vest in equal monthly installments over the following 24 months, (ii) an award of 275,000 restricted stock units, which will vest in three equal annual installments, with the first installment vesting on July 27, 2017 and the remaining installments vesting annually thereafter (the “RSU Award”), and (iii) 175,000 fully vested shares of the Company’s common stock. The Option Award and the RSU Award were granted to Mr. Avellan as employment inducement awards pursuant to the Company’s 2016 Inducement and Retention Stock Plan for EMC Employees (the “Inducement Plan”), which was adopted in connection with the EMC Acquisition pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c)(4) and described in the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

 

The Employment Agreement provides that, in the event of a “change of control” (as defined in the Employment Agreement) prior to the one year anniversary of the date of the Employment Agreement, all of the outstanding unvested options subject to the Option Award and all outstanding and unvested restricted stock units subject to the RSU Award will immediately and automatically vest upon the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of Mr. Avellan’s employment by the Company without cause or by Mr. Avellan for good reason and (ii) the one year anniversary of the date of the Employment Agreement. In addition, in the event of (a) a change of control on or following the one year anniversary of the date of the Employment Agreement, or (b) the termination of Mr. Avellan’s employment by the Company without cause or by Mr. Avellan with good reason, all of the outstanding unvested options subject to the Option Award and all outstanding unvested restricted stock units subject to the RSU Award will immediately and automatically vest (x) in the case of clause (a), as of the date of the change of control, and (y) in the case of clause (b), as of the date of Mr. Avellan’s termination.

 

On July 27, 2016, the Company also entered into a restrictive covenant agreement with Mr. Avellan in connection with his employment (the “Restrictive Covenant Agreement”) whereby Mr. Avellan has agreed to certain restrictions regarding the Company’s proprietary information and to certain non-competition and non-solicitation provisions.

 

In connection with the EMC Acquisition, the Company, through EMC, entered into a Services Agreement (“Services Agreement”) and expects to enter into a Distribution Agreement (“Distribution Agreement”) and Master Services Agreement, (“Master Services Agreement”) in each case with Trio Connect, LLC (“Trio”) or an entity affiliated with Trio (collectively, “Transition Agreements”). Mr. Avellan owns an approximate 7.5% equity interest in Trio. Under the Transition Agreements, Trio and EMC agree to provide each other with employment, consulting and operational transition services in exchange for payments determined according to the terms of each agreement. In addition, under the Distribution Agreement, EMC is expected to obtain rights to market and sell Trio products in EMC’s commercial telecommunications markets in exchange for payments determined in accordance with the Distribution Agreement. Under the Master Services Agreement, Trio is expected to provide approximately $21,000 of services to the Company on a monthly basis, and the Company is expected to provide $17,000 of services to Trio on a monthly basis. There are no fixed commitments to purchase hardware from Trio under the Distribution Agreement and the Company may or may not use Trio as a supplier of satellite-related equipment in the future. Under the Services Agreement, a wholly-owned Trio entity employs certain Company employees, who will be transferred to a to-be-formed wholly-owned Company subsidiary. The monthly cost for these employees is approximately $305,000 and the Company expects the Services Agreement to terminate in the fourth quarter of 2016.

 

Except for the Employment Agreement, Restrictive Covenant Agreement and Purchase Agreement, there are no arrangements or understandings with the Company pursuant to which Mr. Avellan was appointed as President and Chief Strategy Officer of the Company. There are no family relationships between Mr. Avellan and any director or executive officer of the Company, or any person nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director or executive officer.
