Debt Covenant Compliance will be Redefined through June 30, 2013; $2 Million Revolving Line of Credit will be Extended through January 31, 2013
CENTER VALLEY, Pa., June 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TechPrecision Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: TPCS) ("TechPrecision" or "the Company"), an industry leading manufacturer of precision, large-scale fabricated and machined metal components and systems with customers in the alternative energy, cleantech, medical, nuclear, defense, aerospace and other commercial industries, today announced that it has agreed to terms effectively amending debt covenants for the period March 31, 2012 through June 30, 2013 and also extending its $2 million credit line through January 31, 2013. The latter was due to expire on July 31, 2012. Management believes the new terms are improved and favorable to the Company, when compared to previous terms. The Company expects to execute the amendment in the next few days and following such execution, the terms of the amendment will be described in a report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, within the time frame allowed for such a report.
Due to the changes in the Company's debt terms, and the resulting impact on the Company's upcoming Annual Report on Form 10-K, management will require additional time to complete such Annual Report, resulting in a delay in filing for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. The Company anticipates that the Annual Report will be filed as soon as practicable but, in any event, no later than the 15th calendar day following the prescribed due date.
