Lease Agreement
On May 28, 2010, the Company filed an 8-K in which it announced that the Company entered into a lease agreement (the “Lease”) with KB Building, LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. David J. Langevin, the Company’s Chairman and CEO. Under the terms of the Lease, the Company leases land and building located at 9725 South Industrial Drive, Bridgeview, Illinois 60455. The Lease had an initial six year term and provides for six one year extension periods. Due to the related-party aspect of transaction, the transaction and the original lease agreement were approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.
On June 6, 2014, the Lease was amended to lengthen the initial lease term from six years to 10 years and to modify the Lease so that the six one year extension periods begin after ten years instead of six years. Due to the related-party aspect of this transaction, the Lease Amendment was approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.
The description of the Lease Amendment set forth herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Lease Amendment as attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by this reference.
