See the information set forth in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”), which is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 2.03    Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of the Registrant.
 
On January 30, 2020, BK Technologies, Inc. (the “Borrower”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BK Technologies Corporation (the “Holding Company”), entered into a $5.0 million Credit Agreement and a related Line of Credit Note (the “Note” and collectively with the Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Lender”).
 
The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $5.0 million, with availability under the line of credit subject to a borrowing base calculated as a percentage of accounts receivable and inventory. The line of credit will expire on January 31, 2021. Proceeds of borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes. The line of credit is secured by a blanket lien on all personal property of the Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Continuing Security Agreement with the Lender. The Holding Company and each subsidiary of the Borrower are guarantors of the Borrower’s obligations under the Credit Agreement, in accordance with the terms of the Continuing Guaranty.
 
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to one-month LIBOR (or zero if the LIBOR rate is less than zero) plus a margin of 1.90%. The line of credit is to be repaid in monthly payments of interest only, payable in arrears, commencing on February 1, 2020, with all outstanding principal and interest to be payable in full at maturity.
 
The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants customary for transactions of this type, including restrictions on liens, indebtedness, loans and guarantees, acquisitions and mergers, sales of assets, and stock repurchases by the Borrower. The Credit Agreement contains one financial covenant requiring the Borrower to maintain a tangible net worth of at least $20.0 million at any fiscal quarter end.
 
The Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default, including: (1) failure to pay principal, interest or fees under the Credit Agreement when due and payable; (2) failure to comply with other covenants and agreements contained in the Credit Agreement and the other documents executed in connection therewith; (3) the making of false or inaccurate representations and warranties; (4) defaults under other agreements with the Lender or under other debt or other obligations of the Borrower; (5) money judgments and material adverse changes; (6) a change in control or ceasing to operate business in the ordinary course; and (7) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Lender may declare the entire unpaid balance immediately due and payable and/or exercise any and all remedial and other rights under the Credit Agreement.
 
The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement, the Note, the Continuing Guaranty and the Continuing Security Agreement is a summary only, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, the Note, the Continuing Guaranty, and the Continuing Security Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2, Exhibit 10.3, and Exhibit 10.4, respectively, to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.
