Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On November 15, 2011, StarTek, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a business loan agreement and promissory note (together the “Agreement”) with UMB Bank Colorado, N.A. (“UMB Bank”) for a $7.5 million secured revolving line of credit.  The Agreement is effective November 8, 2011 through August 1, 2012.  This Agreement replaces the Company’s previous $7.5 million secured revolving line of credit with UMB Bank.  Under the Agreement, the amount available under the line of credit will be reduced by the amount of any proceeds received on the sale of the Company’s assets classified as held for sale in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, but in no event will it fall below $5 million.

 

Borrowings under the Agreement bear interest at the thirty day LIBOR index, plus 3.75%.  The interest rate shall never be less than 4.50% per annum.  This is an increase from the previous terms which were that borrowings bore interest, at the Company’s option at the time of the borrowing, of the thirty, sixty or ninety day LIBOR index, plus 3.25% and that the interest rate wouldn’t be less than 4.00% per annum.  Under the Agreement, UMB Bank maintains a security interest in all of the Company’s present and future accounts receivable, general intangibles, and owned real property.   In addition, under the Agreement, the Company is subject to certain financial covenants.  One of the covenants requires a tangible net worth of at least $75 million, which was reduced from a requirement of $83 million under the previous agreement.  In addition the Company’s covenant to maintain unencumbered liquid assets, defined as cash, certificate of deposits and marketable securities, decreased to at least $6.5 million as measured on the last day of each fiscal quarter from at least $10 million under the previous agreement. The other financial covenant remains the same, whereby the Company must maintain a cash flow coverage ratio, as defined in the Agreement, of greater than 1.50 to 1.0 measured on the last day of each fiscal quarter for the previous twelve months.
