On June 15, 2023, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement with Alliance, the family limited partnership of the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, William A. Coskey, P.E. The Credit Agreement provides for an initial term loan of $1,000,000 and, under certain conditions, an additional term loan of $250,000. During the one-year term of the loan, the Company will make interest-only payments on a quarterly basis. The loan carries an annual interest rate of 8.5% and has an origination fee of 0.5%, payable upon maturity.

In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries, entered into a Security Agreement granting a security interest in favor of Alliance on substantially all of the Company’s and Guarantors’ assets to secure all of the indebtedness and other obligations owed to Alliance under the Credit Agreement and the Guarantors entered into a Continuing Guaranty pursuant to which the Guarantors guaranteed the payment of all indebtedness owed to Alliance.

Alliance is the beneficial owner of more than 22% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock and is controlled by William A. Coskey, P.E., the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. In accordance with the charter of the Company’s Audit Committee and the Company’s policy on related party transactions, the loan documents and the resulting transactions were reviewed and approved by the Company’s Audit Committee and determined in good faith to be on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from unrelated third parties and fair to the Company from a financial point of view, and were approved by all of the disinterested members of the Company’s Board of Directors.
