Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 30, 2020 and May 2, 2020, CUI Global, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries entered into unsecured loans in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $1.9 million (the “Loans”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”), sponsored by the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) as guarantor of loans under the PPP.  The Loan, and interest accrued thereon, is forgivable, partially or in full, if certain conditions are met. 

 

The Loans are evidenced by four promissory notes, three with Bank of America, NA which are dated as of April 30, 2020 and one with Dogwood State Bank dated May 2, 2020 (the “Notes”). The Bank of America Notes mature two years from funding date of the Notes and the Dogwood State Bank Note matures two years from the Note date.  Each of the Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 1.0 percent per annum with payments deferred for the first six months. The Loans may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. 

 

The foregoing summary is only a summary of certain provisions of the Notes and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Notes, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

 

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. Upon a default under the Notes, including the non-payment of principal or interest, the obligations of the Company under the Notes may be accelerated, and the Lenders may pursue their rights under the Uniform Commercial Code and any other applicable law or in equity.
