Item 1.01           Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On February 15, 2018, Air T, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into certain financing documents with Minnesota Bank & Trust (“MBT”) pursuant to which MBT extended a new $1,680,000 real estate loan (“Term Note D”) to the Company and amended the $1,900,000 term loan evidenced by Term Note C to reduce the principal amount of Term Note C to $1,000,000 and to adjust the amortization schedules set forth therein to reflect the reduced principal balance. The interest rate on Term Note D floats at a rate equal to the one month LIBOR rate plus 2%. In connection with the financing, the Company entered into a swap agreement to fix the interest rate on Term Note D at five and 9/100th percent (5.09%). The principal balance of Term Note D is payable in equal monthly installments of $5,600 each commencing on March 1, 2018 and continuing until January 1, 2028 at which time the entire principal balance of Term Note D will be due and payable in full. The interest rate on Term Note C will continue to float at a rate equal to prime minus 1% subject to a floor of 3.25%. The maturity date of Term Note C continues to be January 1, 2019. The monthly installments of principal under Term Note C have been reduced from $158,333.33 a month to $90,909.09 per month to reflect the reduced principal balance. Term Note D is secured by a first mortgage on the real property of the Company located at 5930 Balsom Ridge Road, Denver, NC 28037. In addition, both Term Note C and Term Note D, along with all other financing extended by MBT to the Company, have been guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company, and are secured by a first lien on all personal property of the Company and the guaranteeing subsidiaries.
