The new facility replaces an existing $6.5 million credit line and term loan.
"We are excited to complete this new facility which will provide us with capital to execute our growth strategy," said Berke Bakay, president and CEO of Kona Grill.

Our team would like to thank KeyBank and Stearns Bank for their partnership in this facility."

The new facility bears interest between 3.0% and 3.5% over LIBOR, dependent upon the company's leverage ratio, compared to an interest rate of 4.95% under the old facility. The facility is secured by the assets of the Company and has a four-year term with an option to extend the term for one year upon the Lenders' consent.
