Identiv Improves Working Capital to Support Growth in 2021

Company Favorably Amends East West Bank Loan and Remaining 21 April Fund Note

FREMONT, Calif. — February 11, 2021 — Identiv, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE), a global leader in digital security and identification, today announced that the company has amended its short term debt facility with East West Bank (“EWB”) and the second of two promissory notes to 21 April Fund to ensure the company has access to the working capital required to support its anticipated growth in 2021.

On February 8, 2021, Identiv entered into a two-year extension of its current loan and security agreement with EWB. The extension includes:

  • Lower interest rates of prime + 25bps for the first half of 2021, which will subsequently decrease to prime with no floor if compliance is maintained with all covenants
  • A one-year increase in the total facility from $20 million to $24 million
  • No additional warrants

Additionally, the company modified the maturity date of its remaining short term note with 21 April Fund to March 31, 2021. The amendment, which is interest free and contains no additional warrants, provides Identiv with flexible access to capital during the first quarter.

Both amendments have resulted in improvements to Identiv’s working capital, which will support the company’s anticipated growth in 2021.

“With positive cash flow from operations in the fourth quarter of 2020, we were able to pay down debt and leave capacity on our revolver untapped at year end,” said Identiv’s CFO, Sandra Wallach. “By reducing our interest rates, we’ve decreased our borrowing costs, and we expect to further reduce these costs by paying down debt from cash flows during 2021. These improvements to our balance sheet have placed us in a stronger position to capitalize on the tailwinds driving our business in 2021 and beyond. We appreciate the continued confidence from our partners at East West Bank and our long-term investors.”
