Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 28, 2014, Rosetta Stone Ltd. (the “Borrower”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rosetta Stone Inc. (the "Company"), , entered into a $25 million revolving credit Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank. The Loan Agreement has a term of three (3) years during which the Borrower may borrow and re-pay loan amounts and re-borrow the loan amounts subject to customary borrowing conditions. Presently, no borrowings have been requested or made under the Loan Agreement.
The Borrower may elect to have interest on borrowed amounts accrue at either a LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.25 percent or a prime rate plus a margin of 1.25 percent. The Borrower may select LIBOR interest periods of certain defined intervals ranging from one month to one year. All or portions of outstanding loans may be converted by Borrower from one interest rate method to the other. The Company and each of its other U.S. subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) have agreed to guarantee the Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Agreement. The Borrower’s obligations are also secured by a security interest on substantially all its and the Guarantors’ assets including their intellectual property rights and by a stock pledge by the Guarantors and the Borrower of 100% of their ownership interests in U.S. subsidiaries and 66% of their ownership interests in certain foreign subsidiaries. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to certain covenants under the Loan Agreement including financial covenants and limitations on indebtedness, encumbrances, investments and distributions and dispositions of assets. The Loan Agreement contains customary events of default, the occurrence of which could result in the Bank’s acceleration of the Borrower’s repayment obligation of any loan amount then outstanding.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Loan and Security Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
