Second Loan Agreement
As previously disclosed by DZS Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 13, 2023 (the “Prior 8-K”), on September 12, 2023, DASAN Network Solutions, Inc., a Korea corporation and an indirect subsidiary of the Company, as borrower (“DNS Korea”), entered into a Loan Agreement (the “First Loan Agreement”) with Dasan Networks, Inc., a Korea corporation, as lender (“DNI”), DZS California, Inc., a California corporation, as collateral provider (“DZS California”), and the Company. Pursuant to the First Loan Agreement, DNS Korea received a three-year term loan from DNI in an aggregate principal amount equal to 32,670,750,000 South Korean Won (“KRW”), the equivalent of $24,500,000 USD (the “First DNI Loan”).
On September 22, 2023, DNS Korea entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Second Loan Agreement”) with DNI, as lender, DZS California, as collateral provider, and the Company, pursuant to which DNS Korea received an additional three-year term loan from DNI in an aggregate principal amount equal to 6,957,650,000 KRW, the equivalent of $5,234,071 USD (the “Second DNI Loan” and, together with the First DNI Loan, the “DNI Loans”), bringing the total amount loaned by DNI to DNS Korea under the DNI Loans to 39,628,400,000 KRW, or the equivalent of $29,734,071 USD. The Second DNI Loan matures on September 12, 2026 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.0% per annum. Interest is payable on the last day of each calendar quarter.
The net proceeds under the Second DNI Loan will be used to repay the remaining amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement, dated as of February 9, 2022, by and among the Company, as borrower, the other loan parties party thereto, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent.
The obligations under the Second Loan Agreement are secured by the same collateral that was pledged under the First Loan Agreement: liens on certain assets of DNS Korea and on 9,999,999 shares of the common stock of DNS Korea held by DZS California.
Other than the amount of the Second DNI Loan, the Second Loan Agreement is substantially the same as the First Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, the collateral provisions, prepayment rights, covenants (including financial covenants) and events of default, in each case, as described in the Prior 8-K, which description is incorporated herein by reference.
The foregoing description of the Second Loan Agreement is only a summary, does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Second Loan Agreement, an English translation of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) and is incorporated herein by reference.
