TX Holdings Announces It Has Successfully Reached an Agreement to Consolidate and Restructure Certain Outstanding Indebtedness Due to Its Chairman and CEO

ASHLAND, KY – via eTeligis - TX Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: TXHG), a supplier of mining and rail products to the U.S. coal mining industry, today announced that it has successfully negotiated and, on February 25, 2014, entered into an agreement with Mr. William "Buck" Shrewsbury, the company's chairman and CEO, to consolidate and restructure certain outstanding indebtedness due to Mr. Shrewsbury, including an agreement to extend the term of such indebtedness.

 

Under the terms of the consolidation and restructuring agreements, the company agreed to consolidate the following indebtedness due to Mr. Shrewsbury: the principal due under a Revolving Promissory Demand Note issued on April 30, 2012, in the amount of $1.062 million, and accrued but unpaid interest under the note of $168,905 due as of January 31, 2014; the principal due under a 10% Promissory Note issued February 27, 2009, in the amount $289,997, and accrued but unpaid interest under the note of $93,252 due as of January 31, 2014; and certain advances previously made by Mr. Shrewsbury and due as of January 31, 2014, in the amount of $385,846.

 

In exchange and replacement for such indebtedness, the company issued to Mr. Shrewsbury a new Consolidated Secured Promissory Note in the principal amount of $2 million.

 

The Revolving Promissory Demand Note and 10% Promissory Note that were cancelled in the transaction had each been subject to payment on demand and had born interest at the rates of 5% and 10% per annum, respectively. The advances previously made by Mr. Shrewsbury had been noninterest bearing and due on demand. As part of the consolidation transaction, Mr. Shrewsbury waived and released the company from prior defaults under such notes.

 

The new Consolidated Secured Promissory Note, including interest, is due and payable 10 years from the date of issuance but may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default. The new note bears interest at the rate of 5% per annum, except that if the prime rate of interest as reported by the Wall Street Journal exceeds 5%, then the new note will bear interest at the prime rate reported by the Wall Street Journal. The new note is to be secured by the proceeds of a $2 million key man insurance policy to be purchased on the life of Mr. Shrewsbury. The new note contains events of default, including bankruptcy of the company, appointment of a receiver for the company, default with regard to other indebtedness by the company, a judgment against the company in excess of $250,000, the sale of all or substantially all of the company's assets or a change in control of the company, the company's dissolution, upon the occurrence of Mr. Shrewsbury's death, or upon the company's failure to pay premiums under the key man insurance policy

 

In consideration of his agreement to effect the debt consolidation and restructuring, the company issued to Mr. Shrewsbury options to purchase 500,000 shares of the company's common stock. The options become exercisable April 1, 2014, and remain exercisable for a period of three years at an exercise price of $0.0924 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.

 

The terms of the debt consolidation and restructuring were reviewed and approved by a special committee of disinterested directors of the company.

 

The terms of the consolidation and restructuring were reported by the company in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2014, and reference should be made to such report for a more detailed discussion of the transaction.
