Item 2.04 Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

 

On February 6, 2024, Polished.com Inc. (the “Company”) received a Notice of Additional Events of Default and Acceleration, Imposition of Default Rate, Set-Off and Termination of Commitments (the “Notice of Acceleration”) from Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), regarding that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2022 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, Bank of America (as the Administrative Agent and L/C Issuer, each as defined in the Credit Agreement), Appliances Connection Inc., the guarantors party thereto and the lenders from time to time party thereto.

 

The Notice of Acceleration asserts certain events of default relating to non-payment of certain principal and interest amounts and fees due and payable under the Credit Agreement on January 31, 2024. Pursuant to the Notice of Acceleration, Bank of America demanded immediate repayment of all principal and accrued interest, as well as immediate repayment of all additional fees, costs, charges and other Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) owing under the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document (as defined in the Credit Agreement). As of February 12, 2024, the outstanding principal balance under the Credit Agreement was $91,250,000.

 

The Notice of Acceleration declares that the Company’s outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and that the commitments of the lenders to make loans and obligations of Bank of America, as the L/C Issuer, to make certain credit extensions pursuant to the Credit Agreement be immediately terminated. In addition, Bank of America, as Administrative Agent, has exercised its rights of set-off as described in the Credit Agreement against certain deposits contained in the accounts of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries maintained at Bank of America in the aggregate amount of $1,989,754.83 and applied such amounts towards the repayment of a portion of the Company’s outstanding liabilities and other obligations under the Credit Agreement.

 

The Company is seeking to reach a resolution with Bank of America and the other lenders and will pursue a defense to any enforcement action taken by Bank of America, but the Company cannot guarantee a resolution on a timely basis, on favorable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to reach a resolution, it would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the Company to become bankrupt or insolvent.
