Item 1.01     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On May 25, 2018, Air T, Inc.’s (the “Company”) wholly-owned subsidiaries Worthington Acquisition, LLC, Worthington Aviation, LLC and Worthington MRO, LLC, as Borrowers, completed a loan transaction with Minnesota Bank & Trust (“MBT”) pursuant to which Borrowers obtained from MBT a new revolving loan in the amount of up to $1,500,000 (the “Revolving Loan”) and new term loan in the amount of $3,400,000 (the “Term Loan” and together with the Revolving Loan, the “Loans”).  The entire loan proceeds were disbursed by MBT on May 25, 2018 and were used to reduce amounts previously advanced on Air T’s line of credit financing with MBT. Until the Term Loan is paid in full and certain other conditions met, the Company guaranteed up to $3,000,000 of the Loans.  The guaranty is thereafter reduced to $1,500,000. The interest rate on Term Loan floats at a rate equal to the one month LIBOR rate plus 2.5% and the interest rate on the Revolving Loan floats at a rate equal to the one month LIBOR rate plus 2.0%.  The Loans mature on November 30, 2019, at which time the entire unpaid balance of the Loans will be due and payable in full.  In addition, the loan agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants and the loans are secured by a first lien on all of the assets of the Borrowers and a pledge of certain assets held by Stratus Aero Partners, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company.
