Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On August 30, 2013, Optical Cable Corporation (the “Company”) and SunTrust Bank (the “Bank”) entered into a revolving credit facility consisting of a Commercial Note and Agreement to Commercial Note under which the Bank provided the Company with a revolving line of credit for the working capital needs of the Company (together, the “Commercial Note”). The Commercial Note matures on August 31, 2015.

 

On August 11, 2014, the Company entered into a commercial note renewal letter (“Binding Letter of Renewal”) extending the maturity date of the Commercial Note to August 31, 2016. The Binding Letter of Renewal only extends the maturity date of the Commercial Note. All other terms of the Commercial Note remain unaltered and remain in full force and effect.

 

The Commercial Note provides the Company the ability to borrow an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of (i) $9.0 million, or (ii) the sum of 85% of certain receivables aged 90 days or less plus 35% of the lesser of $1.0 million or certain foreign receivables plus 25% of certain raw materials inventory. Within the revolving loan limit of the Commercial Note, the Company may borrow, repay, and reborrow, at any time or from time to time until August 31, 2016 (as a result of the extended maturity date as provided for in the Binding Letter of Renewal).

 

Advances under the Commercial Note accrue interest at LIBOR plus 2.2%. Accrued interest on the outstanding principal balance is due on the first day of each month, with all then outstanding principal, interest, fees and costs due at the Commercial Note maturity date of August 31, 2016. The Company currently has $3.0 million outstanding under the Commercial Note.

 

The Binding Letter of Renewal is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Subject: Renewal of Commercial Note and Extension of Maturity Date

 

 

Dear Tracy:

 

SunTrust Bank hereby agrees to renew your open-end revolving line of credit under Commercial Note Number 6899978-18/26/34 (the “Note”), dated August 30, 2013 made by Optical Cable Corporation (the “Borrower”). Upon our receipt of the original of this letter duly executed by you as provided below, we hereby agree to extend the current maturity date of August 31, 2015 to August 31, 2016. If the Note is not renewed, the outstanding principal amount and all unpaid accrued interest will be due and payable on the current maturity date.

 

Other than the maturity date as changed above, all other terms and conditions of the Note and all other documents executed in connection with the Note remain unchanged unless otherwise agreed in a separate writing by SunTrust. Any collateral or guaranties which currently secure the Note will continue to secure the Note as renewed.

 

If you have questions regarding this matter, please call me at 540-982-3120.

 

Sincerely,

 

/s/ Chad H. Brown

Accepted and agreed this 11th day of August, 2014.
