Maynbridge Capital Closes $17.3MM Credit Agreement for Zedcor

Zedcor Inc. announced that the Company has entered into an amended and restated loan and security agreement with Maynbridge Capital Inc. (the "Lender") in the principal amount of $17.3 million. The Agreement consolidates the Company's existing term loans into a single loan facility that will be amortized over five years and is fully committed until January 1, 2023, with the option to renew for an additional 12 months subject to the Lender's approval. The Agreement provides for $1.0 million of additional growth capital immediately to expand Zedcor's Security and Surveillance business which is seeing growing customer demand, along with an uncommitted $2.0 million accordion facility that could be made available to the Company, subject to the Lender's credit approval.

The Agreement is secured with a first charge over the Company's assets, bears interest at 12.75% per annum and has an extension fee of 2% per annum, $377,238 of which will be capitalized to the loan and $300,000 of which has been paid with the issuance of 2,000,000 common shares of Zedcor Inc. at a deemed priced of $0.15 per share. The Agreement will be serviced by equal, monthly blended principal and interest payments and does not require quantitative financial covenants. In addition, the Lender has been issued an additional 730,562 share purchase warrants with an exercise price of $0.12 per share and the exercise price of the 4,014,343 existing warrants already issued to the Lender will be amended to $0.12 per share. The expiry date of all outstanding warrants issued to the Lender will be November 25, 2024. All of the securities issued are subject to a four month hold period from the date of issue.

At the end of the Agreement's initial term, Zedcor is projecting to have approximately $13.0 million of senior debt under its loan with the Lender, assuming the $2.0 million accordion facility has been fully drawn. This would represent a reduction of approximately 33% in the outstanding debt under the Agreement with the Lender. Based on current forecasts, estimated utilization of the Company's fleet of security towers, along with the additional assets purchased as part of the financing, Zedcor's senior debt to EBITDA ratio is projected to be below 2.5x which will put the Company in line with senior bank lending requirements and is consistent with the Company's strategic goal to deleverage its balance sheet.

Todd Ziniuk, President and CEO of the Company stated, "The consolidation of our various loan facilities, along with up to $3.0 million of additional expansion capital, will allow us to focus on our customers' security needs by expanding our fleet of MobileyeZ towers, fixed camera installations and remote video monitoring services, and expand our service offering to other geographic regions. This financing will help Zedcor continue to provide technology-based solutions to our customers in order to solve tomorrow's problems today."
