Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

  

On April 17, 2020, P&F Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) executed a promissory note (the “Note”) in favor of BNB Bank (the “Lender”) evidencing an unsecured loan in the aggregate principal amount of $2,929,200 (the “PPP Loan”) which was guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The Loan was made pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), which was enacted on March 27, 2020 and provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times the average monthly payroll expenses of qualifying business. All the funds under the PPP Loan were disbursed to the Company on April 20, 2020.

 

The Note provides for a fixed interest rate of one percent per year with a term of two years from the date of the first disbursement of the PPP Loan. No payments are due on the PPP Loan for six-month period (the “Deferment Period”) beginning from the date of first disbursement of the PPP Loan, however, interest will continue to accrue during the Deferment Period. At the end of the Deferment Period, the Company shall pay all accrued and unpaid interest outstanding that is not subject to forgiveness (discussed below). The unpaid, unforgiven principal balance of the Note outstanding at the end of the Deferment Period shall be payable in eighteen (18) equal consecutive installments of principal and interest payable (based upon an 18 month amortization schedule) commencing on the seven-month anniversary of the date of the Note and ending on the date of maturity of the PPP Loan. The PPP Loan may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties, subject to certain notice requirements.

 

Under the PPP and pursuant to the Note, the Company can apply for and be granted forgiveness of a portion of the PPP Loan in an amount equal to the sum of costs incurred during the eight-week period (the “Measurement Period”) beginning on the date of the first disbursement of the PPP Loan including: payroll costs; any payment of interest on a covered mortgage obligation (which shall not include any prepayment of or payment of principal on a covered mortgage obligation); any payment on a covered rent obligation; and any covered utility payment, in each case calculated in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act. The amount of loan forgiveness shall be calculated (and may be reduced) in accordance with the requirements of the PPP, including the provisions of Section 1106 of the CARES Act, which among other things includes provisions that reduce forgiveness based on the termination of employees or reduction of salaries during the Measurement Period. Additionally, not more than 25% of the amount forgiven can be attributable to non-payroll costs. The terms of any forgiveness may also be subject to further regulations and guidelines the SBA may adopt. The Company will carefully monitor all qualifying expenses and other requirements necessary to properly maximize loan forgiveness; however, no assurance can be provided that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan in whole or in part.

 

The Note also provides for customary representations and warranties and default provisions.

For example, we may also ask to see such person’s driver’s license or other official documents to identify such person.

The incurrence of the PPP Loan shall constitute a representation on behalf of the Borrowers and Guarantors that (i) the PPP Loan shall remain unsecured and shall not adversely affect any right, remedy or Lien of Agent with respect to the Obligations under the Loan Agreement, and (ii) except as has been obtained, no consent of any other person or entity (including, without limitation, shareholders or creditors of any Borrower or Guarantor) is required in connection with such incurrence of the PPP Loan.

 

 

 

 

Borrowers have further advised Agent that BNB Bank (“BNB”), the lender servicing the PPP Loan, requires that P&F establish and maintain a deposit account at BNB in connection with the PPP Loan (the “PPP Loan Account”). Notwithstanding anything contained in the Loan Agreement, Agent and Lenders hereby consent to the establishment and maintenance of the PPP Loan Account, provided that Borrowers and Guarantors shall (a)  use the PPP Loan Account exclusively for receiving and disbursing the proceeds of the PPP Loan, (b) not deposit (or have deposited) into the PPP Loan Account monies from any other source, including, without limitation, the proceeds of any Collateral, and (c) shall deliver to Agent, promptly upon Agent’s request, a copy of the most recent account statement received from BNB (or other documentation acceptable to Agent evidencing the account balance and account activity) with respect to the PPP Loan Account.

 

This letter agreement is limited solely to the specific matters listed above and shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or a consent to or an amendment of any other provision of the Loan Agreement. Borrower hereby represents and warrants that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date hereof. All terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as modified hereby, remain in full force and effect. Execution and delivery of an executed counterpart of this letter agreement by facsimile transmission, electronic mail in pdf form or other electronic signature shall be as effective as execution and delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof; provided, however, that upon request by Agent the parties agree to promptly provide hand-signed original signatures hereto.

P&F INDUSTRIES, INC. CLOSES ON PAYCHECK PROTECTION

PROGRAM LOAN UNDER THE CARES ACT

 

MELVILLE, N.Y., April 23, 2020 P&F Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:PFIN), today announced that on April 20, 2020 it closed on a $2,929,200 Payroll Protection Program (PPP) loan, as provided pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ( CARES Act), signed into law on March 27, 2020. PPP loans, which are unsecured and guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), were designed to create economic stimulus by providing additional operating capital to small businesses, such as P&F, in the United States for permitted uses for an eight-week period following receipt of funds.

 

The loan, which was obtained from BNB Bank under a promissory note dated April 17, 2020, provides for a fixed rate of one percent per year with a maturity date of two years from the April 20, 2020 receipt of the funds. No payments of principal or interest are due during the initial six-month period. Beginning in the seventh month, the Company is required to make monthly payments of principal and interest until maturity, for any portion of the loan that is not forgiven. Up to 100% of the loan can be forgiven based on the amount of the funds used during the first eight-week period after receiving the funds towards payroll, rent, and certain other permitted operating expenses calculated pursuant to the CARES Act, although no assurance can be provided that P&F will obtain forgiveness of the loan in whole or in part.

 

Richard Horowitz, P&F's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated “We are grateful for this stimulus in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Access to this form of funding will help us continue to execute our plans and maintain our workforce while we manage through this crisis, and continue to manufacture and distribute our products to our customers, many of which are critical to the ongoing operation of many essential and life sustaining industries.”
