Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 13, 2018, Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an Agreement of Sale (the "Sale Agreement") with Mountainblue Jake Brown Realty LLC (the "Buyer"), providing for the sale by the Company of its Old Bridge, New Jersey facility (the "Old Bridge Facility"), which houses the Company's principal manufacturing, engineering, sales and administrative functions, to the Buyer.  In connection with the transaction, the Buyer has agreed to pay the Company $10,300,000 at closing, subject to certain adjustments as provided in the Sale Agreement.  Upon execution of the Sale Agreement, the Buyer deposited $525,000 in escrow as a deposit towards the full purchase price.  Completion of the transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement is subject to a number of closing conditions, including the Buyer's satisfactory completion of certain due diligence matters.

In addition, in connection with the closing, the Company (as tenant) and the Buyer (as landlord) will enter into a lease (the "Lease"), pursuant to which the Company will continue to occupy, and continue to conduct its manufacturing, engineering, sales and administrative functions in, the Old Bridge Facility.  The Lease will have an initial term of five years and allows the Company to extend the term for an additional five years following the initial term.  The Company is obligated to pay base rent of $573,750 for the first year of the Lease, with the amount of the base rent adjusted for each subsequent year to equal 102.75% of the preceding year's base rent.  For the first year of the Lease, this amount would offset the anticipated annualized saving of interest and depreciation expense of approximately $512,000 and the cash debt service of approximately $533,000.

The Company currently expects to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Old Bridge Facility to repay outstanding amounts under the Company's credit facility with Sterling National Bank ("Sterling"), repay outstanding amounts under its senior subordinated convertible indebtedness (to the extent the holders do not convert all or part of  the indebtedness into shares of the Company's common stock), and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.  As of March 14, 2018, the amount currently outstanding under the Sterling credit facility was approximately $5,330,000 and the amount outstanding under the senior subordinated convertible indebtedness was approximately $636,000.  Assuming the transaction had closed on March 14, 2018, the Company anticipates it would have received approximately $3,109,000 of net proceeds on the sale after satisfying all of the aforementioned indebtedness.

The foregoing description of the Sale Agreement (including the Lease, which is an attachment to the Sale Agreement) is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Sale Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
