Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 17, 2022, Art's-Way Manufacturing Co., Inc. (the "Company") entered into
a credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with Bank Midwest, consisting of a
$550,000 revolving line of credit (the "Line of Credit") and a $350,000 term
loan (the "Term Loan"), each of which are governed by Promissory Notes executed
and delivered by the Company on such date (collectively, the "Notes").
The maturity date of the Line of Credit is November 30, 2022. The outstanding
principal and accrued but unpaid interest is due on the maturity date, and
monthly interest-only payments are required. The Term Loan matures on May 15,
2027 and the Company is required to make monthly payments of principal and
interest, including 59 payments of $2,971.50 and one final payment of
$269,516.69. Interest on the Line of Credit and Term Loan accrues at a floating
rate per annum equal to 2.000% above the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate
published from time to time in the money rates section of the Wall Street
Journal. The interest rate floor is set at 5.000% per annum and the current
interest rate is 6.000% per annum. There is no prepayment penalty under either
Note.
If the Company commits an event of default with respect to either Note and fails
or is unable to cure that default, Bank Midwest may immediately terminate its
obligation, if any, to make additional loans to the Company and may accelerate
the Company's obligations under the Notes. Bank Midwest shall also have all
other rights and remedies for default provided by the Uniform Commercial Code,
as well as any other applicable law and the various loan agreements.
Additionally, the Notes are secured by any and all security documents entered
into between the Company and Bank Midwest, including but not limited to, all
Security Agreements, Supplemental Security Agreements, Guaranties, Real Estate
Mortgages and Assignment of Rents.
The foregoing description of the material terms of the Credit Facility,
including the Notes, does not purport to be a complete description of the rights
and obligations of the parties thereunder and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the full text of the Notes, each of which are filed herewith and
incorporated by reference herein.
