On July 31, 2009, Cobra Electronics Corporation (the "Company") released earnings information for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99-1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The Company is obligated to meet certain financial covenants under its Loan and Security Agreement dated as of February 15, 2008, among the Company, The PrivateBank and Trust Company, as a lender and administrative agent for itself and the other lenders, and RBS Citizens, N.A., as lender, as amended (the "Loan Agreement"). A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under the Loan Agreement and could cause all amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement to become immediately due and payable. As of June 30, 2009, the amount of outstanding indebtedness under the Loan Agreement was $18.2 million.

As a result of the Company's financial performance for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company failed to satisfy the financial covenants for the period set forth in the Loan Agreement relating to the Company's total debt to EBITDA ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio. As a result, all amounts of unpaid interest and principal under the Loan Agreement would be subject to acceleration at the option of the lenders pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement; however, the Company and its lenders have reached an agreement in principle on the terms of an amendment to the Loan Agreement pursuant to which the Company's lenders would waive any defaults resulting from the existing covenant violations. The amendment is also expected to reduce the maximum principal amount of the Company's revolving line of credit from $40 million to $28 million, in line with the Company's historical and anticipated future borrowing needs, and to contain amended financial covenants and amended borrowing base and pricing formulas.
