MONTREAL, June 30, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - VOTI Detection Inc. ("VOTI" or the "Company") (TSXV: VOTI), a leading-edge Canadian technology company that develops latest-generation X–ray security systems based on 3D Perspective™ technology, today announced that it  has entered into an amended credit facility agreement (the "AmendedFacility Agreement") which amends the terms of a revolving credit facility agreement (the "Original Agreement") entered into with Espresso Capital Ltd. ("Espresso") on January 8, 2019, and as subsequently amended, and pursuant to which the Company has borrowed an amount of $3,650,000 as of today's date. Under the Amended Facility Agreement, the Company will have to repay $1 million of the unpaid advances in 12 monthly instalments starting December 31, 2020 (under the Original Agreement, such amount was due on April 30, 2020) and the Company will have to maintain a net working capital of $8,000,000 (under the Original Agreement, the Company had to maintain certain debt to market capitalization and working capital ratios). Amounts drawn on this facility bear interest at 15.25% per annum and the facility matures on June 30, 2022. The calculation of the authorized credit limit of the facility has not changed from the Original Agreement, and is based on a multiple of gross profit less debt in priority. The maximum authorized credit limit is $7,500,000. In consideration for entering into the Amended Facility Agreement, the Company will issue to Espresso warrants exercisable for a period of 7 years to purchase 285,714 common shares of the Corporation at the price of $0.70 per share with an option for cashless exercise. VOTI and Espresso deal at arm's length.
