NOTE 5Line of Credit



On December 29, 2015, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) with BMO Harris Bank N.A. (BMO Harris Bank).  The Credit Agreement provides the Company with a revolving line of credit of up to $10 million with a term that extends to December 29, 2017.  Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a base rate or at LIBOR plus 2.25%.  The Company is also required to pay a commitment fee at the rate of 0.10% per annum on the average daily unused portion of the revolving line of credit.  The Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a lien against substantially all of the assets of the Company and a pledge of 65% of the outstanding shares of The Female Health Company Limited and all of the outstanding shares of APP.  In addition to other customary representations, covenants and default provisions, the Company is required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth and to not exceed a maximum total leverage ratio.  Among the non-financial covenants, the Company is restricted in its ability to pay dividends, buy back shares of its common stock, incur additional debt and make acquisitions above certain amounts. 



The completion of the APP Merger (see Note 3, APP Merger Transaction) resulted in a default in FHC's compliance with certain covenants in the Credit Agreement and constituted an "event of default" under the Credit Agreement.



On November 28, 2016, FHC, Badger Acquisition Sub, Inc., wholly owned subsidiary of FHC, APP and BMO Harris Bank entered into a Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the Amendment).  Pursuant to the Amendment, BMO Harris Bank waived the defaults in FHC's compliance with the covenants in the Credit Agreement as a result of the completion of the merger transaction with APP and APP became a co-borrower under the Credit Agreement.  As a result, the revolving line of credit remains in effect under the terms of the Credit Agreement until the end of its term on December 29, 2017. 



No amounts were outstanding under the Credit Agreement at either March 31, 2017 or September 30, 2016.
