See the

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
April 13, 2020, BK Technologies, Inc. (the “Borrower”),
a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of BK Technologies Corporation,
a holding company (the “Company”), received approval
and funding pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”)
evidencing an unsecured loan in the amount of $2,196,335 under the
Paycheck Protection Program (the “Loan”). The Paycheck
Protection Program (or “PPP”) was established under the
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the
“CARES Act”) and is administered by the U.S. Small
Business Administration (“SBA”). The Loan is being made
through JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the
“Lender”).
The
Loan has a two-year term and bears interest at a rate of 0.98% per
annum. Monthly principal and interest payments are deferred for six
months. Beginning seven months from the date of the Note, the
Borrower is required to make monthly payments of principal and
interest to the Lender, each in such equal amount required to fully
amortize the principal amount outstanding on the Note on the last
day of the deferral period by the maturity date. The Loan may be
prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties.
The Note matures on April 8, 2022. The Note contains customary
events of default relating to, among other things, payment
defaults, making materially false and misleading representations to
the SBA or Lender, or breaching the terms of the Loan documents.
The occurrence of an event of default may result in the immediate
repayment of all amounts outstanding, collection of all amounts
owing from the Borrower, or filing suit and obtaining
judgment.
Under
the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for and
be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of loan granted under
the PPP. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to
limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds for payment of
payroll costs and any payments of mortgage interest, rent, and
utilities. However, no assurance is provided that forgiveness for
any portion of the Loan will be obtained.
The
foregoing description of the Note is a summary only and is
qualified in its entirely by the reference to the full text of the
Note, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1
to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by
reference.
