The term loan bears interest at PNC’s Base Rate or the Eurodollar Rate, at INBP’s option, plus 3.25%.

INBP also announced today that on June 27, 2012 it completed a refinancing of its defaulted subordinated convertible note in the original principal amount of $4,500,000 held by CD Financial, LLC, an affiliate of two of INBP’s directors, and a second promissory note in the original principal amount of $300,000 held by CD Financial, LLC.
