Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 31, 2025, Mill City Ventures III, Ltd. (“Mill City”) entered into an Amended and Restated Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement with Orion Pip, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent for senior lenders to Mustang Funding, LLC, and with Mustang Funding, LLC. The agreement contains customary and negotiated terms and conditions relating to the full subordination of Mill City’s right to payment (subject to certain exceptions) and right to collateral pledged by Mustang Funding in favor of Mill City to secure the obligations of Mustang Funding under that certain Fourth Short-Term Loan Agreement and Fourth Short-Term Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $10 million (most recently amended effective January 21, 2025 to extend the maturity date of Mill City’s loan to Mustang Funding to March 28, 2027, and to increase the per annum rate of interest to 20%, as earlier disclosed). The agreement is deemed effective as of January 24, 2025.
On February 1, 2025, Mill City entered into a Security Agreement with Mustang Funding, LLC, also deemed effective as of January 24, 2025, pursuant to which Mustang Funding granted Mill City a security interest in substantially all of Mustang Funding’s assets, subject to certain enumerated exceptions, as collateral security for the above-described $10 million principal amount loan.
On February 1, 2025, Mill City entered into new Executive Employment Agreements with each of Douglas M. Polinsky, the Chief Executive Officer of Mill City, and Joseph A. Geraci II, the Chief Financial Officer of Mill City. These new Executive Employment Agreements are substantially identical to the prior executive employment agreements with these executives that had earlier expired on December 31, 2024, each containing the same two-year term and restrictive covenants, and were deemed to be effective as of January 1, 2025. The new Executive Agreements increase the base salary of each executive to $220,000 per year.
Copies of the above-described Amended and Restated Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, Security Agreement, and Executive Employment Agreements are being filed as exhibits to this report. In addition, Mill City is filing a copy of Amendment 5 to Fourth Short-Term Loan Agreement and Fourth Short-Term Promissory Note as an exhibit to this report (the entry into which, and the terms of which, were earlier disclosed in a current report on Form 8-K filed on January 28, 2025).
