Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As disclosed in STR Holdings, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company previously announced that its Spanish subsidiary, Specialized Technology Resources Espana, S.A.U. (“STR Spain”), had received preliminary approval for a term loan (the “Loan”) from the Spanish Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourism (“REINDUS”). On September 10, 2019, REINDUS loaned STR Spain an aggregate principal amount of €2,621,781 million (approximately $2.9 million based on noon buying rates published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for the Euro on such date). STR Spain expects to use the Loan proceeds to help finance the launch and operation of its food packaging products business. The Loan matures in September 2029, with principal due and payable in seven equal annual installments of €374,540 each, commencing in September 2023. Interest, which is payable annually in arrears, accrues at the annual rate of 1.647% for the life of the Loan. The Loan is partially secured by bank guarantees in an initial total amount of €1,198,859 (41% of the total principal and interest amounts due). The required total amount of the bank guarantees is reduced over the term of the loan as principal and interest payments are made.
