Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 7, 2020, Prime World International Holdings, Ltd. (“Prime World”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Applied Optoelectronics, Inc., entered into a revolving credit facility totaling 100,000,000 NTD (the “NT$100M Credit Line”) and 1,000,000 USD (the “US$1M Credit Line”) with Taishin International Bank in Taiwan (the “Bank”). Borrowing under the NT$100M Credit Line will be used for short-term working capital; borrowing under the US$1M Credit Line will be strictly used for spot transactions in the foreign exchange market. The NT$100M Credit Line and US$1M Credit Line are collectively referred to as the “Credit Facility”.

 

Prime World may draw upon the Credit Facility from October 7, 2020 through January 31, 2021. The term of each draw under the NT$100M Credit Line shall be either 90 or 120 days and will bear interest at a rate of 2.15% for each draw; borrowings under the US$1M Credit Line will bear interest equal to the Bank’s foreign exchange rate effective on the day of the applicable draw. At the end of the draw term Prime World will make payment for all principal and accrued interest.

 

Prime World’s obligations under the Credit Facility will be secured by a promissory note between Prime World and the Bank. The agreements for the Credit Facility contain representations and warranties, and events of default applicable to Prime World that are customary for agreements of this type.
