Financings—In April 2015, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer guaranteed $5 million of borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, increasing our Borrowing Base by that amount. See Note 5.

In February 2014, the Company entered into an arrangement with Aston, an affiliate of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which the Company borrowed $3.5 million for general corporate purposes (the “February Note”). The borrowing originally had a scheduled maturity of April 1, 2015, and the Company had the option to prepay the note at any time without penalty. In April 2014, the Company borrowed an additional $1 million from Aston for general corporate purposes on the same terms and conditions as the February Note (the “April Note”). Also in April 2014, the Company borrowed $10.8 million from RVL to fund the acquisition of Value Lighting (the “RVL Note”) which originally had a scheduled maturity of the earliest of April 1, 2015 or the date on which the Company received proceeds from a financing transaction. All of these notes bore interest at the rate of 9% per year.

In June 2014, the Company exchanged the $10.8 million RVL Note and $1.6 million of the February Note plus related accrued interest, for an equivalent amount of Series G preferred stock (see Note 7). The remaining $1.9 million of the February Note, together with accrued interest thereon, was refinanced with a new Note Payable to Aston dated June 30, 2014 (the “June Note”).

In addition, Aston advanced $2.7 million for general corporate purposes in four separate transactions during May and June 2014. As of July 31, 2014, the Audit Committee ratified these advances. A new promissory note payable to Aston was issued for $5.7 million (the “July Note”), in exchange for the April Note and the June Note, and to evidence the amounts advanced by Aston during May and June. The July Note matures on April 1, 2016, bears interest at 9%, and can be prepaid at any time at the option of the Company.

The Company has accrued interest on the July Note of $0.3 million at June 30, 2015 and recorded interest expense of $0.06 million and $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

Management Agreement—On April 9, 2013, the Company ratified a management services agreement with Aston (the “Management Agreement”) to memorialize certain management services that Aston has been providing to the Company since RVL acquired majority control of the Company’s voting securities in September 2012. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, Aston provides consulting services in connection with financing matters, budgeting, strategic planning and business development, including, without limitation, assisting the Company in (i) analyzing the operations and historical performance of target companies; (ii) analyzing and evaluating the transactions with such target companies; (iii) conducting financial, business and operational due diligence, and (iv) evaluating related structuring and other matters. In consideration of the services provided by Aston under the Management Agreement, the Company issued 500,000 shares of restricted common stock to Aston to vest in three equal annual increments, with the first such vesting date being September 25, 2013. On April 21, 2014, the Company granted an additional 300,000 shares of restricted stock to Aston which vest in three annual installments with the first such vesting date being September 25, 2014. The Audit Committee of the Board will consider from time to time (at a minimum at such times when the Compensation Committee of the Board evaluates director compensation) whether additional compensation to Aston is appropriate given the nature of the services provided.

Corporate Headquarters—The Company’s corporate headquarters utilizes space in Stamford, Connecticut which is also occupied by affiliates of RVL. The Company pays Aston approximately $26,000 monthly, representing its proportionate share of the space under the underlying lease.

Other—A distributor of the Company’s products is owned by a son of the Company’s former President and Chief Financial Officer who retired in July 2015. Sales to the distributor, at standard pricing, aggregated $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015.
