Item 1.01
Entry into Material Definitive Agreement;
On June 4, 2014, Trans-Lux Corporation (the “Company”) executed a promissory note (the “Note”) in favor of George Schiele (“Schiele”), pursuant to which Schiele will loan $200,000 to the Company in order to provide the Company with temporary financing (the “Loan”). Schiele is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. The Note bears interest at the rate of ten percent per annum and has a maturity date of July 1, 2014, with a bullet payment of all principal and accrued interest due at such time; provided, however, that the parties may agree in writing to convert or exchange all or any part of the Note into a long term investment by Schiele in Trans-Lux (a “Conversion Transaction”). In the event the parties engage in a Conversion Transaction (of which there can be no assurance), all amounts due under the Note will be payable (or not, as the case may be) in accordance with the terms of the documentation executed by the parties in connection with such Conversion Transaction, if any. As of June 6, 2014, the net proceeds in the amount of $200,000 were received from Schiele. The funds were used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
