Note 9.  Related Party Transactions

Emmett J. Wood, the brother of our Chairman and CEO, has been an employee of the Company since 1996. The amounts paid to this individual as compensation were $151,000 and $324,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $76,000 and $234,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Additionally, as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Mr. Wood owned 810,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and 50,000 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock.

On March 31, 2015, the Company entered into the Porter Notes. Mr. Porter and Toxford Corporation, of which Mr. Porter is the sole shareholder, own 35.0% of our Class A Common Stock. Under the terms of the Porter Notes, Porter lent the Company $2.5 million on or about March 31, 2015. According to the original terms of the Porter Notes, the outstanding principal sum bears interest at the fixed rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum which would be payable in arrears in cash on the 20th day of each May, August, November and February, with the first interest payment date due on August 20, 2015. The Porter Notes do not call for amortization payments and are unsecured. The Porter Notes, in whole or in part, may be repaid at any time without premium or penalty. The unpaid principal, together with interest, was originally due and payable in full on July 1, 2017. 

On April 18, 2017, we amended and restated the Porter Notes to reduce the interest rate from twelve percent (12%) to six percent (6%) per annum, to be accrued, and extended the maturity date from July 1, 2017 to July 25, 2022. Telos also entered into Intercreditor Agreements with Porter and EnCap, in which the Porter Notes are fully subordinated to the Credit Agreement and any subsequent senior lenders, and payments under the Porter Notes are permitted only if certain conditions are met. All other terms remain in full force and effect. We incurred interest expense in the amount of $88,000 and $175,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $82,000 and $162,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, on the Porter Notes. As of June 30, 2020, approximately $1.2 million of accrued interest was payable according to the stated interest rate of the Porter Notes.
