In addition, the Company received a delinquency notification letter from Nasdaq, dated August 16, 2024, indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq for failing to timely file the Company’s Form 10-K annual report for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024. This notification also constituted a default under the Credit Agreements (collectively with the 2024 Covenant Defaults, the “2024 Defaults”). The Company had 60 days from the date of the Nasdaq delinquency notice, or until October 15, 2024, to file a plan with Nasdaq to regain compliance.

Due to the 2024 Covenant Defaults, the facilities under the Credit Agreements were classified as current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at July 31, 2024 and April 30, 2024. In addition, due to the lender demand of a Replacement Transaction by September 2025 and the risk of additional Note A - Description of the Business - Continued covenant compliance failures based on current revenue levels (see Note B - Basis of Presentation - Going Concern for additional information) the Company continues to classify this debt as current liabilities as of October 31, 2024.

In consideration of the TCW Amendment, the Company and the Agent also entered into the Third Amendment Fee Letter to the TCW Credit Agreement (the “Fee Letter”) dated as of the Third Amendment Effective Date. The 2024 Amendments also amended the financial covenants and certain other terms of the Credit Agreements, including, among other things, that the Company will pursue and close a Replacement Transaction (as defined in the Credit Agreements) to pay the obligations under the Credit Agreements in full no later than September 30, 2025 unless the Company meets certain debt ratios for the twelve month period ending on August 31, 2025. See Waivers and Amendments No. 3 within Note E – Long-term Debt for more information. The Company is taking steps to reduce its debt and cost structure. Most recently, since the beginning of calendar year 2024, these actions include the sale of its Elgin, Illinois property and consolidation of the Elgin operations to the Elk Grove Village, Illinois headquarters, reduction of headcounts at various operations and corporate, and inventory reduction. Subsequent to October 31, 2024, during December 2024, the Company executed a sale/leaseback transaction with respect to its Elk Grove Village, Illinois headquarters, using the proceeds to further reduce its debt position. For further discussion of the transaction, see Note K – Subsequent Event. The Company continues to explore other strategic initiatives to further reduce its debt to enable it to comply with increasingly stringent financial covenants.
