Item 1.01 Entry into a Definitive Agreement
On December 21, 2016, Optical Cable Corporation (the “Company”) and Bank of North Carolina (the “Bank”) entered into a Loan Modification Agreement (the “Agreement”) to modify the Credit Agreement dated April 26, 2016 entered into between the Company and the Bank, the Revolving Credit Notedated April 26, 2016 payable by the Company to the Bank which provides the Company with a $7,000,000 revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Credit Note”), theterm loan dated April 26, 2016 payable by the Company to the Bank in the principal amount of $1,816,609 (“Term Loan A”) and the term loan dated April 26, 2016 payable by the Company to the Bank in the principal amount of $5,271,411 (“Term Loan B”). Collectively, we refer to the Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note, Term Loan A and Term Loan B as the “Loan Documents”
The purpose of the Agreement was to lower the interest rates of the Revolving Credit Note, the Term Loan A and Term Loan B which also resulted in lower monthly installment payments for the Revolving Credit Note, Term Loan A and Term Loan B. The applicable margin in the Revolving Credit Note was lowered to 2.50% from 3.65%. The fixed interest rate of the two term loans was lowered to 3.75% from 4.25%. The Agreement also established a floor on the interest rate for the Revolving Credit Note such that the LIBOR Adjusted rate will never be less than 2.5% per annum.
The Revolving Credit Note, Term Loan A and Term Loan B are generally secured by the land and buildings at the Company’s headquarters and manufacturing facilities located in Roanoke, Virginia and its manufacturing and office facilities located near Asheville, North Carolina and the Company’s personal property and assets.
No other substantive changes were made to the Loan Documents as a result of the Agreement and the remaining terms of the Loan Documents remain in full force and effect. The Agreement with Bank of North Carolina is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
