Since our IPO, we have been paying regular quarterly dividends.

Capital Structure - Equity Capital 7

 

 

Capital Structure - Debt ▪ Since our IPO, the volume of our business has exceeded expectations requiring us to seek additional capital funding. ▪ $35 million Revolving Loan Credit Facility. On May 11, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), we consummated an agreement with Webster Business Credit Corporation, Bankwell Bank and Berkshire Bank (collectively, the “Lenders”) under which the Lenders agreed to provide us with a new $35 million revolving credit facility to replace the $20 million revolving credit facility from Bankwell Bank, which has now been repaid in full and terminated. Amounts outstanding under the new credit facility will bear interest at a floating rate equal to the 30 - day LIBOR rate plus 4.00% per annum, and will be due and payable on May 11, 2022. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement governing the new credit facility, we may draw up to 75% of our “Eligible Mortgage Loans,” as defined. As of the Closing Date, Eligible Mortgage Loans totaled approximately $47.7 million. The new credit facility will increase our ability to fund mortgage loans. ▪ $310,000 term loan, which bears interest at the rate of 4.52% and matures on January 1, 2022. The proceeds of the term loan were used to purchase property in Branford, CT that will be used as our corporate headquarters. The property is in the early stages of renovation and we expect to move our operations to the new location in the fourth quarter of 2018. 8
