Item 1.01.Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 15, 2020, Piezo Technology Inc., MTron Industries Inc., and Precise Time and Frequency LLC (collectively, the “Borrowers”), operating subsidiaries of The LGL Group, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into loans with City National Bank of Florida, a national banking association, as the lender (“Lender”), in an aggregate principal amount of $1,907,500 (the “Loans”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “CARES Act”).
Each of the Loans is evidenced by a promissory note dated April 15, 2020 that matures on April 15, 2022 (such promissory notes collectively, the “Notes”). The Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum, with the first six months of principal and interest deferred. The U.S. Small Business Administration may, at its discretion, increase such deferment period for an additional six month period pursuant to the Small Business Administration’s authority under the CARES Act and any and all rules, regulations, guidance and statutes promulgated thereunder. Principal and interest are payable monthly in equal installments commencing on November 10, 2020 and may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity without prepayment penalties. The Borrowers may apply to the Lender for forgiveness of the amounts due on the Loans in an amount equal to the sum of the funds from the Loans used for payroll costs, payment of interest on a covered mortgage obligation, payment on a covered rent obligation and covered utility payments, in each case incurred during the eight-week period beginning on April 15, 2020. Not more than 25% of the amount forgiven can be attributable to non-payroll costs. The Borrowers intend to use all or a significant majority of the proceeds from the Loans for such qualifying expenses.
The foregoing description of the Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Notes, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03.Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
Reference is made to the disclosure under Item 1.01 above, which is hereby incorporated in this Item 2.03 by reference.
Item 7.01.Regulation FD Disclosure.
On April 20, 2020, the Company issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing the receipt of the Loans pursuant to the PPP, and other financial information. A copy of the Press Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the Exhibit 99.1 hereto, shall not be considered “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into future filings by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under the Exchange Act, unless the
Company expressly sets forth in such future filing that such information is to be considered “filed” or incorporated by reference therein.
