ITEM 1.01.
ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On December 6, 2019, Roanoke Gas Company ("Roanoke"), the utility subsidiary of RGC Resources, Inc. ("Resources") entered into unsecured notes ("Notes") with Prudential Arizona Reinsurance Universal Company under a Note Commitment with Prudential Investment Management ("Prudential") executed on June 5, 2019. These Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 bear an interest rate of 3.60% per annum with interest payable semi-annually in June and December of each year, commencing June 6, 2020. The principal balances of the Notes are due on December 6, 2029. The proceeds from these notes will be used fund Roanoke's capital expenditures.

The Notes were issued under the provisions of the Private Shelf Facility Agreement ("Shelf Agreement") Roanoke entered into with Prudential effective September 30, 2015 as amended. On December 6, 2019, Roanoke entered into the Second Amendment to Private Shelf Agreement ("Amendment"). This Amendment increased the aggregate amount available for borrowing to $68,000,000 under the Shelf Agreement. The Amendment also extended the provision for borrowing under the Shelf Agreement for an additional three-year period through December 6, 2022, unless terminated by either party with 30 day written notice. The Amendment maintains the same covenants as provided for in the Shelf Agreement for all notes issued including the limitation on consolidated long-term indebtedness to no more than 65% of consolidated total capitalization and priority indebtedness to not more than 15% of consolidated total assets.

In addition and in connection with the above Notes, also on December 6, 2019, Resources executed an Unconditional Guaranty in favor of Prudential and the affiliates participating in the unsecured notes unconditionally guaranteeing timely payment and performance of the obligations of Roanoke to Prudential.
