Bank Indebtedness and Production Facilities Bank Indebtedness and Production Facilities
Upon the acquisition of Wow, the Company assumed certain credit facilities (the “Facilities”). The Facilities are comprised of the following:
Revolving Demand Facility
On December 15, 2022, the Company amended the Facility. Draws of up to $8.0 million CAD (previously $5.0 million CAD) under a revolving demand facility can be made in Canadian or US dollars at the option of the Company by way of bank prime rate loans, Canadian Bankers’ Acceptances, Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or letters of credit. Canadian or US dollar bank prime borrowings bear interest at a rate equal to bank prime plus 2.00% per annum. For other draws under the revolving facility, the respective loans bear interest at a rate equal to Canadian Bankers’ Acceptances or SOFR plus 3.75% per annum.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had an outstanding balance of $2.4 million CAD ($1.7 million USD) on the revolving demand facility by way of bank prime rate loan draws, included as Bank Indebtedness within current liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
Equipment Lease Line
On December 15, 2022, the Company amended the terms of the equipment lease line under the Facility. Under the equipment lease line, the Company may borrow up to $4.3 million CAD.
Each transaction under the equipment lease line has specific financing terms in respect of the leased equipment such as term, finance amount, rate, and payment terms. The finance rates for these equipment leases range from 3.94% - 4.49% with remaining lease terms of 8 - 22 months. The Company has recorded finance lease right of use assets and finance lease liabilities for the leased equipment acquired in respect of these draws.
As at December 31, 2022, the Company has drawn down a total of $3.3 million CAD ($2.4 million USD) under the equipment lease line. These outstanding balances as of December 31, 2022, net of repayments, are included within current and noncurrent Finance Lease Liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
Treasury Risk Management Facility
Advances under the treasury risk management facility are subject to market rates as determined by the lender’s treasury department or derivatives group at the time of the drawdown request. The maximum term for foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps is one year.
As of December 31, 2022, there were no outstanding amounts drawn under the treasury risk management facility.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Facility.

Production Facilities
As part of the acquisition of WOW, the Company assumed production facilities for financing specific productions. The Company’s production facilities bear interest at rates ranging from bank prime plus 1.00% - 1.25% per annum. The production facilities are generally repayable on demand and are guaranteed and secured by the Company. The security reflects substantially all of the Company's tangible and intangible assets including a combination of federal and provincial tax credits, other government incentives, production service agreements and license agreements.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had an outstanding balance of $24.8 million CAD ($18.3 million USD), including $1.5 million CAD of interest ($1.1 million USD), recorded as Production Facilities, net within current liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

Equipment Lease Facility
During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022, a subsidiary of the Company entered into an equipment lease agreement with a Canadian bank, separate from the Facility's equipment lease line. This additional equipment lease facility allows the Company to finance equipment purchases of up to $1.4 million CAD in total. Each equipment lease is for a term of three years and will have specific financing terms such as, finance amount and the bank’s lease base rate. The Company has recorded finance lease right of use assets and finance lease liabilities for the leased equipment acquired in respect of these draws.
As at December 31, 2022, the Company has drawn a total of $0.7 million CAD ($0.5 million USD) under the equipment lease facility. These outstanding balances as of December 31, 2022, net of repayments, are included within current and noncurrent Finance Lease Liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
