Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Sale of AMK Welding, Inc.

On January 27, 2017, we sold all of the outstanding shares of AMK Welding, Inc. (“AMK”) to Meyer Tool, Inc., pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated January 27, 2017 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) for a purchase price of $4,500,000, subject to a working capital adjustment, plus additional quarterly payments, not to exceed $1,500,000, equal to five percent (5%) of Net Revenues of AMK commencing April 1, 2017.  
 
AMK, based in South Windsor, Connecticut, is a provider of sophisticated welding and machining services for diversified aerospace and industrial customers which we acquired in October 2014. AMK owns all of the outstanding shares of Air Industries Group Poland, LLC, which conducts welding operations in Poland.

Fourteenth Amendment to PNC Loan Agreement

In connection with the sale of AMK to Meyer Tool, Inc., on January 27, 2017 we, together with our wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into the Fourteenth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan And Security Agreement with PNC Bank, N.A. (the “PNC Loan Agreement”) which amends certain terms and conditions of the PNC Loan Agreement and releases AMK from its obligations under the PNC Loan Agreement.

The proceeds of the sale of AMK were applied as follows: $1,700,000 to the payment of the Term Loan (as defined in the PNC Loan Agreement), $1,800,000 to the payment of outstanding Revolving Advances (as defined in the PNC Loan Agreement), and $500,000 to the payment of  existing accounts payable. The remaining $500,000 will be applied to outstanding accounts payable on a future date to be determined by PNC or used to reduce the amount of the Revolving Advance. The amendment also waives the non-compliance at September 30, 2016 with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the Minimum EBITDA covenants for the period then ended, and requires that we maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.00, tested quarterly on a consolidated rolling twelve (12) month basis; however, for the quarter ending June 30, 2017, which shall be tested based upon the prior six (6) months,  the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall not be less than 1.00 to 1.00 and for the quarter ending September 30, 2017, which shall be tested based upon the prior nine (9) months, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall not be less than 1.10 to 1.00. The amendment also reduces the amount to be paid weekly in repayment of excess advances in the amount of $5,294,071 under the revolving credit facility from $100,000 to $50,000 for each Monday during the months of January, February and March of 2017.  Thereafter, the weekly payments will return to $100,000 until such excess advances have been repaid in full.
