Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On January 29, 2018, Cardinal Ethanol, LLC ("Cardinal") and its primary lender, First National Bank of Omaha, executed a Twelfth Amendment of First Amended and Restated Construction Loan Agreement to be effective as of December 31, 2017, which amends the First Amended and Restated Construction Loan Agreement dated June 10, 2013 (the "Amendment"). In connection therewith, Cardinal also executed a Grain Loadout Facility Term Note. The primary purpose of the Amendment was to convert the construction loan for the grain receiving and train loading facility to term debt (the "Grain Loadout Facility Loan"). The Grain Loadout Facility Loan is for a maximum of $10,000,000 and the interest rate is based on the 3-month LIBOR plus two hundred ninety basis points. The Grain Loadout Loan requires monthly installment payments of principal and interest of approximately $119,048, commencing on February 1, 2018, with a final maturity date of February 28, 2023.
