Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On April 21, 2020, Servotronics, Inc. (the “Company”) executed a promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $4,000,000 as part of the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”) administered by the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) and authorized under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan is being made through Bank of America, NA (the “Lender”).

 

The term of the PPP Loan is two years. The annual interest rate is 1.00%. Payments of principal and interest on the PPP Loan will be deferred for the first six months of the loan term. Commencing one month after the expiration of the deferral period, the Company is required to pay the Lender equal monthly payments of principal and interest as required to fully amortize by the second anniversary of the effective date of the PPP Loan the principal amount outstanding on the PPP Loan as of the end of the deferral period. The Company may prepay the PPP Loan at any time without payment of any penalty or premium. The Note contains customary events of default for a loan of this type. The occurrence of an event of default may result in the Lender requiring the repayment of all amounts outstanding, collection of all amounts owing from the Company, or filing suit and obtaining judgment against the Company.

 

Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of loans granted under the PPP. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and the maintenance of its payroll levels. No assurance can be given that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan in whole or in part.

 

The foregoing description of the PPP Loan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Note filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
