On August 22, 2023, Arrival (Nasdaq: ARVL), the creator of an inventive EV production methodology, entered into active dealings with a strategic financial partner concerning a likely transaction for which terms and structure are contingent upon due diligence finishes.
To ensure the completion of due diligence and arrangement of a potential deal, the strategic financial partner, through one of its affiliates, has put forth a term loan facility secured by certain operating subsidiaries’ primary assets. The company has used $5 million under the loan already. An additional $15 million may become available with Lenders’ consent or if Arrival receives an unconditional cash offer on customary "certain funds" basis from an independent third party to purchase Arrival group assets that will provide sufficient net cash proceeds to pay off all amounts owed under the facility.
The Arrival group is availing of this facility for a three-month duration, until November 20th, 2023 (the “Termination Date”). All funds from this agreement are intended to serve Cash Flow and working capital needs. Should the facility be cancelled, paid off ahead of time or otherwise accelerated, a 1.2x make-whole premium must be paid in full, with all outstanding loans and commitments being settled at the same time.
