San Diego, CA – June 23, 2016 – Turtle Beach Corporation (NASDAQ: HEAR), a leading audio technology company for over 40 years, has successfully amended its credit agreements with its term loan and ABL lenders.
The amendments provide, among other things, a temporary reduction of the existing loan availability blocks for the period of June 17, 2016 through October 31, 2016. This temporary reduction enhances the Company’s borrowing base by $3,000,000 through September 30, 2016 and by $1,500,000 from October 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016.
“Continued strong headset sales, solid consumer response to our Elite Pro headsets along with our just-announced holiday products are driving us to buy more inventory in advance of the holiday season. So today’s amendment provides our company with valuable working capital to accommodate our strong headset business, which has continued to grow faster than expected and is supportive of the increased outlook we provided on our first quarter call,” said Juergen Stark, CEO, Turtle Beach Corporation. “We are balancing this headset growth while carefully managing our spend in the HyperSound business as we continue to refine the sales approach and find the most effective route to scaling fully-active offices.”
Today’s amendments also call for the Company to maintain certain cash flow levels with respect to HyperSound during each rolling four-week period beginning June 24, 2016 through October 28, 2016.
Full disclosure of the amendments can be found in the Form 8-K filing made with the Securities and Exchange Commission this afternoon.
