Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Amended Credit Facility
On June 6, 2014, Baja Aqua Farms S.A. de C.V (“Baja”), a subsidiary of Umami Sustainable Seafood, Inc. (“Umami”), entered into an amended credit agreement (the “Amended Credit Facility”), dated as of that date, with AMERRA Capital Management, LLC (“AMERRA”) as administrative agent and the lenders party thereto.
The Amended Credit Facility amends the credit agreement dated as of June 26, 2013, among Umami, Baja, the lenders party thereto and AMERRA as administrative agent (the “Original Credit Facility”), that provided for a $64.0 million secured revolving credit facility. The Original Credit Facility was superseded with the execution of the Amended Credit Facility.
The Amended Credit Facility provides a credit line of up to $75.0 million. Commitments under the Amended Credit Facility will mature on February 28, 2017.
The lenders under the Amended Credit Facility will be secured with a blanket lien, first priority security interest on substantially all of Baja’s assets, as well as a pledge on 50% of the shares in Baja, which were held directly by Umami at execution of the Amended Credit Facility. Umami is a corporate guarantor under the Amended Credit Facility. AMERRA has also been granted the right to appoint one director to Baja’s board of directors, which it can fill at its discretion. As of the date hereof, AMERRA has not filled the seat.
Baja is the borrower under the Amended Credit Facility. Baja expects to have initial borrowings outstanding of approximately $66.9 million under the Amended Credit Facility. The applicable interest rate is LIBOR plus 950 basis points and the applicable commitment fee on undrawn funds is 100 basis points. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. Baja paid upfront fees or original issue discount equal to 3.5% of the Amended Credit Facility. The Amended Credit Facility provides AMERRA with a grant of equity equal to 5.0% of the pre-grant outstanding equity at Baja.
Under the revolver, Baja is required to make payments sufficient to bring the outstanding loan balance to $35 million or less towards the end of Baja’s harvest season in February 2015 and to $26 million or less in February 2016 unless these requirement are waived by the lender at the relevant measurement dates.
The other terms under which amounts outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility may be accelerated did not materially change.

True, but this last one was with their parent. It is evident that they are getting their house in order. Cleaning up stuff that was in default. Why was it in default? Possibly because of the ex-CEO being out of office since last year? The $60+ million loan was very favorable in terms and interest rate, IMO. This note seems to have a high interest rate but is internal On June 17, 2013, Umami Sustainable Seafood, Inc. (“Umami”); Kali Tuna d.o.o. (“Kali”), a subsidiary of Umami; and MB LUBIN d.o.o. (“Lubin”) entered into a new credit agreement . So, I think this is just house-dressing to get everything caught up and current, Why? For one thing many institutions cannot invest because they are not current.
However, I think they must show a lot of improvement in their bio-mass. Remember they didn't sell much last year...why? The market was fine but they didn't sell and they are in the current fishing season for another month. So, their biomass is going to be through-the-roof. That is going to be a positive for their valuation.
So, the house is in order soon; the biomass is going to be huge; the valuation is going to be up; institutions can buy again; I think that bodes well for the share price of UMAM from here.

News....UMAM appears to be shoring up the Balance Sheet:
Umami Sustainable Seafood and Kali Tuna Enter into a $10.4 Million Credit Facility
Print
Alert
On June 17, 2013, Umami Sustainable Seafood, Inc. (“Umami”); Kali Tuna d.o.o. (“Kali”), a subsidiary of Umami; and MB LUBIN d.o.o. (“Lubin”) entered into a new credit agreement (the “New Credit Facility”), dated as of that date, with Erste&Steiermaerkische Bank d.d. (“Erste Bank”), as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto.
The New Credit Facility replaces the previous credit agreement dated as of July 25, 2012 (the “Original Credit Facility”) among Kali, as the borrower, Umami and Lubin, as the guarantors, and Erste Bank, as administrative agent acting on behalf of the lender, Croatian Bank For The Reconstruction and Development (“HBOR”), that provided for a Croatian Kuna (“HRK”) 60 million (approximately $10.4 million) secured revolving credit facility. The Original Credit Facility, which was structured in two tranches, expired on February 28, 2013 and March 31, 2013, when amounts due thereunder were repaid in full and on time.
The New Credit Facility provides for up to HRK 60 million (approximately $10.4 million). All commitments under the New Credit Facility will mature on April 30, 2014.
The lenders under the New Credit Facility are secured by a pledge/lien on the majority of Kali’s and Lubin’s assets, including a pledge of Kali’s equity holdings in Umami (7.86 million shares of Umami common stock). Umami and Lubin are corporate guarantors under the New Credit Facility.
On June 28, 2013, Kali (together with the above corporate guarantors) entered into a short-term working capital loan agreement under the New Credit Facility that provides up to Japanese Yen (“JPY”) 860 million (approximately $8.7 million) (the “JPY Loan Agreement”). Upon full draw-down of amounts available under the JPY Loan Agreement, the remainder of the New Credit Facility (i.e., approximately HRK 10 million, or $1.7 million) is expected to be provided by HBOR as lender and Erste Bank as administrative agent, through an HRK short-term working capital revolving loan.
On July 8, 2013, Kali received approximately JPY 420 million (approximately $4.25 million) under the New Credit Facility and the JPY Loan Agreement. The JPY Loan Agreement under the New Credit Facility provides for new pricing terms that increase the applicable margin on the loans relative to the Original Credit Facility. The applicable interest rate on borrowings under the JPY Loan Agreement is the three-month JPY LIBOR plus 650 basis points. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. Kali paid upfront fees equal to 0.85% of the full amount available under the JPY Credit Agreement.
The terms under which amounts outstanding under the New Credit Facility may be accelerated did not materially change from those under the Original Credit Facility.
“This credit facility is an important agreement for Umami and Kali Tuna and it improves our liquidity position,” said Timothy Fitzpatrick, Umami’s chief financial officer.

In my view this comment in the last press release is extremely important to long shareholders. It basically says that the company will purchase 10 million shares at one dollar each and then cancel the shares. Therefore the total shares outstanding are going to be reduced by approximately 1/6
" Share Purchase Agreement
On June 26, 2013, MotoMax and Baja entered into a purchase agreement whereby Baja acquired 3.0 million restricted Umami shares from MotoMax for $3.0 million. The $3.0 million purchase price is in the form of a secured note. The applicable interest rate is LIBOR plus 400 basis points. Principal and accrued interest are due and payable on March 31, 2014. Umami intends to cancel the shares.
Share Purchase Agreement
On June 26, 2013, Lisbeth and Baja entered into a purchase agreement whereby Baja acquired 7.0 million restricted Umami shares from Lisbeth for $7.0 million. The $7.0 million purchase price is in the form of a secured note. The applicable interest rate is LIBOR plus 400 basis points. Principal and accrued interest are due and payable on March 31, 2014. Umami intends to cancel the shares.

On Dec. 20, 2012 Daito Gyorui acquired, by purchase, 13 million shares in Umami, representing close to 22% of the shares outstanding at that time. Daito Gyorui was the largest buyer of tuna from Umami in the 2010 fiscal but did not buy any fish in the first six months of fiscal 2013.
Sounds like Daito Gyorui plans on bankrupting this POS and taking over what's left for next to nothing. There's nothing left here. The public company common stock, UMAM, is toast.
Now, who was it that said the Ks were such a mismash that even I couldn't follow them! HAHAHAHAHAHA
