Item 1.01                                           Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On February 18, 2015, TrueCar, Inc. (the “Company”), together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrowers”), entered into a Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Facility”) with Silicon Valley Bank. The Loan Facility includes a secured revolving credit facility permitting the Company to borrow up to an aggregate of $50 million, consisting of (i) a $35 million base revolving line, and (ii) up to three additional $5 million increments subject to the lender’s consent, which may increase the aggregate principal amount of the base line by $15 million. The Loan Facility amends and restates the Borrowers’ existing Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of June 13, 2012, with Silicon Valley Bank.

 

The Loan Facility has a three-year term and matures on February 18, 2018. The Company may terminate the Loan Facility without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage fees. Revolving loans bear interest, at the Borrowers’ option, at (i) the prime rate published by The Wall Street Journal, plus a spread of (-0.25)% to 0.50%, or (ii) a LIBOR rate determined in accordance with the terms of the Loan Facility, plus a spread of 1.75% to 2.50%. In each case, the spread is based on the Company’s adjusted quick ratio, which is a ratio of the Borrowers’ cash and cash equivalents plus net billed accounts receivable to their current liabilities plus all borrowings under the Loan Facility. Interest is due and payable quarterly in arrears for prime rate loans and on the earlier of the last day of each quarter or the end of an interest period, as defined in the Loan Facility, for LIBOR rate loans. The Company is also obligated to pay an unused revolving line facility fee of 0.0% to 0.20% per annum based on the Company’s adjusted quick ratio.

 

The Loan Facility contains certain representations and warranties, events of default, and remedies upon an event of default, including the acceleration of debt and the right to foreclose on the collateral securing the Loan Facility. The obligations of the Borrowers and the future co-borrowers are secured by substantially all of their respective assets, subject to certain exceptions and limitations.

 

Item 2.02                                          Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
