Section 1
 
Registrant’s Business and Operations
Item 1.01
 
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Effective as of January 26, 2018, IEC Electronics Corp. (the “Company”) and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“M&T Bank”) entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”), that amended the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement dated as of December 14, 2015 between M&T Bank and the Company, as previously amended (collectively, the “Credit Agreement”). The Fourth Amendment modifies the definition of Applicable Margin with respect to the quarter ending March 30, 2018.

In connection with the Fourth Amendment, the Company entered into the Equipment Line Term Loan line of credit, whereby M&T Bank agrees to make Equipment Line Advances to the Company from time to time in amounts outstanding at any time not exceeding $1,500,000. The obligations of the Company under the Equipment Line Term Loan line of credit are secured by the capital equipment the proceeds of such facility is used to purchase, as well as the collateral securing the facility generally. Up to $750,000 of the facility availability was permitted to finance equipment purchased prior to closing of the facility and availability under the facility may be re-borrowed. Equipment Line Advances will be used to finance the purchase of capital equipment and are limited to 80% of the invoice cost of purchased equipment. No more than four such advances may be outstanding at any one time. The advances will be interest only for a period of six months at which point or earlier upon the Company’s election, the Company will repay the Equipment Line Advance and any accrued interest in full, or, provided all conditions to conversion have been met, the Company will pay in full all accrued interest and convert the Equipment Line Advance to a term loan with level monthly principal payments plus interest. At the Company’s option, interest is either the one month Libor Rate, adjusted daily, plus the Applicable Margin applied to the Company’s Term Loan B or the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin applied to Term Loan B. Equipment Line Term Loans amortize for a period of up to three years, as specified by the Company, from the date of conversion. There is a customary fee in the event of prepayment.

Terms used herein and otherwise undefined have the meanings given them in the Fourth Amendment.

The foregoing summary of the Fourth Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Fourth Amendment intended to be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 30, 2018.
