Item 5.02. 

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On April 24, 2020, Ryan R.K. Turnersubmitted his resignation from the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of BK Technologies Corporation (the “Company”), effective immediately. Mr. Turner’s resignation was not due to any disagreement with the Company.

On the same day, D. Kyle Cerminara and Lewis M. Johnson notified the Board of their desire to step down as Chairman and Co-Chairman of the Board, respectively, and the Board determined to transition to John W. Struble as Chairman of the Board, effective immediately.

Item 8.01.

Other Events.

As previously announced, on April 13, 2020, BK Technologies, Inc. (the “Borrower”), a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of the Company, received a loan of $2,196,335 (the “Loan”) from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Lender”) under the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (or “PPP”) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The Borrower intended to use the Loan for qualifying expenses in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act. At the time the Borrower applied for the Loan, it believed it qualified to receive the funds pursuant to the PPP.

On April 23, 2020, the SBA, in consultation with the Department of Treasury, issued new guidance that creates additional uncertainty regarding the qualification requirements for a PPP loan. On April 24, 2020, out of an abundance of caution, the Board determined to repay, and the Borrower initiated the immediate repayment of, the full amount of the Loan to the Lender.
