Rhea-AI Filing Summary

White Hat Capital group filed Amendment No. 4 to its Schedule 13D on Comtech Telecommunications (CMTL) dated 21 Jul 2025. The group – six affiliated funds plus principals David J. Chanley and Mark R. Quinlan – now reports beneficial ownership of up to 4.81 million shares, or 9.99 % of the 29.4 million shares outstanding. Holdings include 4.40 million shares issuable on conversion of Series B-3 preferred stock and 54,655 RSUs. A 9.99 % “Blocker” in the preferred certificate prevents further conversions that would push ownership above that threshold.

The disclosure responds to the issuer’s Amendment No. 2 to its Subordinated Credit Agreement executed 21 Jul 2025, which materially revises the capital structure:

  • Introduces a $35 million incremental priority subordinated unsecured term loan (extended by lenders other than White Hat) that ranks senior to existing subordinated loans.
  • Interest accrues paid-in-kind monthly at the greater of the senior term-loan rate or Term SOFR + 10.5 %; no make-whole premium.
  • Suspends fixed-charge coverage, net-leverage and minimum EBITDA covenant tests until the four-quarter period ending 31 Jan 2027.
  • Lowers minimum quarterly average liquidity to $15 million (from $17.5 million).
  • Resets stepped minimum EBITDA covenant: $26 m (Q4 FY27) rising to $32 m from Q4 FY27 onward.
  • Permits a specified asset disposition and requires management incentive/retention plans.

No share transactions were effected by the reporting persons in the past 60 days.

Il gruppo White Hat Capital ha presentato l'Emendamento n. 4 al suo Schedule 13D su Comtech Telecommunications (CMTL) datato 21 luglio 2025. Il gruppo – composto da sei fondi affiliati e dai principali David J. Chanley e Mark R. Quinlan – riporta ora una partecipazione beneficiaria fino a 4,81 milioni di azioni, pari al 9,99% delle 29,4 milioni di azioni in circolazione. Le partecipazioni includono 4,40 milioni di azioni convertibili da azioni privilegiate di Serie B-3 e 54.655 RSU. Un “blocco” del 9,99% nel certificato preferenziale impedisce ulteriori conversioni che supererebbero tale soglia.

La comunicazione risponde all’Emendamento n. 2 al Contratto di Credito Subordinato eseguito il 21 luglio 2025 dall’emittente, che modifica sostanzialmente la struttura del capitale:

  • Introduce un prestito subordinato non garantito a termine incrementale di 35 milioni di dollari (concesso da finanziatori diversi da White Hat) che ha priorità rispetto ai prestiti subordinati esistenti.
  • Gli interessi maturano e vengono capitalizzati mensilmente al tasso maggiore tra quello del prestito senior a termine o Term SOFR + 10,5%; non è previsto alcun premio make-whole.
  • Sospende i test di covenant relativi a copertura delle spese fisse, leva finanziaria netta e EBITDA minimo fino al periodo di quattro trimestri che termina il 31 gennaio 2027.
  • Riduce la liquidità minima media trimestrale a 15 milioni di dollari (da 17,5 milioni).
  • Reimposta il covenant EBITDA minimo a scalare: 26 milioni di dollari (Q4 FY27) salendo a 32 milioni da Q4 FY27 in poi.
  • Consente la dismissione di un asset specificato e richiede piani di incentivazione e retention per il management.

Negli ultimi 60 giorni non sono state effettuate transazioni azionarie da parte dei soggetti segnalanti.

Die White Hat Capital Gruppe reichte am 21. Juli 2025 die Änderung Nr. 4 zu ihrem Schedule 13D bezüglich Comtech Telecommunications (CMTL) ein. Die Gruppe – bestehend aus sechs verbundenen Fonds sowie den Hauptakteuren David J. Chanley und Mark R. Quinlan – meldet nun eine wirtschaftliche Beteiligung von bis zu 4,81 Millionen Aktien, bzw. 9,99 % der 29,4 Millionen ausstehenden Aktien. Die Beteiligungen umfassen 4,40 Millionen Aktien, die durch Umwandlung von Series B-3 Vorzugsaktien ausgegeben werden können, sowie 54.655 RSUs. Eine 9,99 %ige „Blocker“-Klausel im Vorzugsaktienzertifikat verhindert weitere Umwandlungen, die die Beteiligung über diese Schwelle hinaus erhöhen würden.

Die Offenlegung erfolgt als Reaktion auf die vom Emittenten am 21. Juli 2025 abgeschlossene Änderung Nr. 2 zum nachrangigen Kreditvertrag, die die Kapitalstruktur wesentlich überarbeitet:

  • Einführung eines 35 Millionen US-Dollar zusätzlichen, vorrangigen, nachrangigen unbesicherten Terminkredits (verlängert von Kreditgebern außer White Hat), der gegenüber bestehenden nachrangigen Krediten vorrangig ist.
  • Zinsen werden monatlich in Form von Zinseszinsen gezahlt, und zwar zum höheren Satz aus dem vorrangigen Terminkreditzinssatz oder Term SOFR + 10,5 %; keine Make-Whole-Prämie.
  • Aussetzung der Covenant-Tests für Fixed-Charge-Coverage, Netto-Verschuldungsgrad und Mindest-EBITDA bis zum Vierquartalszeitraum, der am 31. Januar 2027 endet.
  • Senkt die Mindestquartalsdurchschnittsliquidität auf 15 Millionen US-Dollar (von 17,5 Millionen).
  • Setzt das gestufte Mindest-EBITDA-Covenant zurück: 26 Mio. USD (Q4 FY27), steigend auf 32 Mio. USD ab Q4 FY27.
  • Erlaubt eine bestimmte Vermögensveräußerung und verlangt Management-Anreiz-/Bindungsprogramme.

In den letzten 60 Tagen wurden von den meldepflichtigen Personen keine Aktiengeschäfte getätigt.

Positive
  • $35 million incremental facility immediately strengthens CMTL’s liquidity position.
  • Covenant suspension until FY27 offers operational breathing room during strategic review.
Negative
  • PIK interest at Term SOFR + 10.5 % materially raises financing costs and leverage.
  • Relaxed EBITDA and liquidity covenants indicate deteriorating operating performance expectations.
  • New debt ranks senior to existing subordinated loans, increasing subordination risk for current stakeholders.

Insights

TL;DR: White Hat holds 10 % cap; Comtech takes costly $35 m PIK loan and relaxes covenants—signals liquidity need.

The 13D/A is strategically neutral on ownership—White Hat remains capped at 9.99 % due to the preferred Blocker, so dilution risk is limited near-term. However, the accompanying credit-agreement amendment is credit-negative: a senior-ranking, PIK-interest facility priced at ≥SOFR + 10.5 % implies high perceived risk and materially increases effective leverage. Suspending leverage and coverage covenants through FY27 and lowering liquidity and EBITDA thresholds highlight near-term operational pressure and weak cash generation. While the extra $35 m boosts liquidity and buys time for “strategic alternatives,” equity holders face higher interest expense and subordination to new lenders. Net impact skews negative.

TL;DR: New priority subordinated debt improves cash but subordinates legacy creditors, raises cost of capital.

The incremental facility ranks ahead of existing subordinated loans, is PIK and carries a double-digit spread. The absence of a make-whole suggests lenders demanded structural, not pricing, protection. Covenant holidays through Jan-27 reduce default risk short-term but point to weak EBITDA trajectory, underlined by the step-down in required EBITDA from historical levels. Liquidity buffer lowered to $15 m provides limited headroom. Overall, the amendment is a liquidity bridge rather than a balance-sheet fix and increases refinancing risk at maturity.
