Section 1 - Registrant's Business and Operations
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 20, 2006, FFD Financial Corporation (the "Company") entered into a Business Loan Agreement (the "Line of Credit") with The Huntington National Bank ("Huntington") permitting borrowings by the Company of up to an aggregate principal amount of $2,500,000. The obligations of the Company under the Line of Credit are secured by a pledge of all of the Company's shares of stock in First Federal Community Bank ("First Federal"), its wholly-owned subsidiary, pursuant to a Commercial Pledge Agreement (the "Pledge Agreement").
Borrowings under the Line of Credit may be used to finance working capital needs of the Company and its subsidiaries and will bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.5% per annum. The Line of Credit contains usual and customary covenants for transactions of this type, including, without limitation, covenants limiting other indebtedness, liens and certain asset sales and various financial covenants relating to the capital, assets and net worth of the Company and its subsidiaries.
In the event of a default by the Company under Line of Credit, Huntington may terminate the commitments made under the Line of Credit, declare the amount outstanding, including all accrued interest and unpaid fees, payable immediately, and enforce any and all rights and interests created and existing under the Line of Credit documents, including, all rights under the Pledge Agreement and all other rights available under the law.
The Company currently has no borrowings outstanding under, and no present intention to draw any funds from, the Line of Credit; however, per the terms of the Line of Credit, the Company may draw funds at any time.
