Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 30, 2023, FreightCar America Leasing 1, LLC (“FCA Leasing”), an indirect subsidiary of FreightCar America, Inc. (“FCA” or the “Company”), paid an aggregate of $4,480,000 under FCA Leasing’s Credit Agreement (the “M&T Credit Agreement”) with M & T Bank, N.A., as lender (“M&T”), with a term that ended on April 16, 2021 and with respect to which a Forbearance and Settlement Agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) was entered into in December 2021. The payment consisted of proceeds from the sale to a third party of certain railcars and related leases, in lieu of turning over such railcars to M&T as contemplated by the Forbearance Agreement. As part of the payment terms, it was a condition that certain lease payments be made by the current lessees of the railcars to M&T in accordance with the Forbearance Agreement, which payments were timely made. Accordingly, FCA Leasing’s obligations under the M&T Credit Agreement are deemed satisfied in full and the M&T Credit Agreement and all other Credit Documents (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement), as well as the Forbearance Agreement, are terminated.
