Upon the sale, the Company maintained the right to designate one member on Global Link's Board of Directors. The purchase price consisted of $1.0 million in cash, a $5.25 million promissory note payable in February 1998, which bears interest at the rate of 8-1/2% per annum, and 9.9% of Global Link's issued and outstanding capital stock, which increased the Company's equity interest in Global Link to 19.9% of Global Link's issued and outstanding capital stock. Jeffrey Hanft and Jody Frank are directors and shareholders of Global Link as is Mr. Bernard M. Frank, a former director of the Company. 3. Information concerning indebtedness of directors and/or executive officers to the Company since January 1, 1994 is as follows: (a) Largest Aggregate Indebtedness Outstanding: Jeffrey Hanft ($2,385,000); Robert D. Rubin ($735,000); Richard F. Militello ($907,000); Jody Frank ($309,000); Ronald Gelber ($47,000); (b) Currently Outstanding Indebtedness: Jeffrey Hanft ($1,712,000); Robert D. Rubin ($574,000); Richard F. Militello ($734,000); Jody Frank ($309,000); Ronald Gelber ($47,000). Since January 1, 1994, the Company has loaned (the "Company Loans") certain funds to Jeffrey Hanft, Robert D. Rubin, Richard F. Militello, Jody Frank and Ronald Gelber (the "Borrowers") for reasons described below. Each of the Company Loans is evidenced by a promissory note. Each such Company Loan is due in full on March 28, 1996, and bears interest at Creditanstalt's prime rate of interest. Included in the currently outstanding loans for these transactions are the following: Mr. Hanft $967,000; Mr. Rubin $434,000; Mr. Militello $501,000; Mr. Frank $239,000; and Mr. Gelber $47,000. Each of the Company Loans was made following approval by the members of the Board of Directors who were not parties to the transaction as a means to provide the Borrowers with a vehicle to refinance certain commercial bank indebtedness they had incurred to exercise Company stock options and pay related income taxes. The Borrowers exercised the stock options in December 1993 to purchase the Company's common stock for purposes of increasing the Company's shareholders' equity without accessing external capital markets. The Borrowers personally borrowed the funds to exercise the options from a commercial bank and pledged the 11 Company's common stock issued upon exercise as collateral for the bank loans ("Bank Loans"). This equity increase in turn was a significant factor in permitting the Company to increase its credit facility from $60,000,000 to $125,000,000 in February 1994. Commencing in May 1994, as the market price of the stock declined, the bank on several occasions required the Borrowers to pay down the Bank Loans or provide additional collateral. Given that the option exercises were intended to, and in fact did, benefit the Company, the Borrowers then approached the disinterested members of the Company's Board of Directors to seek the Company's assistance in refinancing a portion of their Bank Loans. The Company then advanced the Company Loans upon the repayment terms noted above. Mr. Hanft, Mr. Militello and Mr. Frank also borrowed $535,000, $128,000 and $70,000, respectively, from the Company in connection with the payment of personal income taxes related to the phantom gain incurred upon the December 1993 exercise of the stock options mentioned above. The loans are due in 1995 and bear interest at a rate equal to the average annual borrowing rate of the Company for senior debt (for the fiscal year ending on or immediately preceding the date interest on the outstanding principal is payable). In an unrelated transaction, in lieu of receiving payment of their earned 1993 bonus, Mr. Hanft, Mr. Rubin and Mr. Militello agreed to accept loans from the Company which bear interest at a rate equal to the average annual borrowing rate of the Company's senior debt (for the fiscal year ending on or immediately preceding the date interest on the outstanding principal balance is payable) which loans are payable within five years of the date of the loan. Included in the currently outstanding loans for this transaction are the following; Mr. Hanft $210,000; Mr. Rubin $140,000; and Mr. Militello $105,000. 12 SIGNATURES In accordance with Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
