(a) On January 15, 2016, Park Electrochemical Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a three-year revolving credit facility agreement with HSBC Bank USA, National Association. This credit facility agreement provides for loans of up to $75 million to the Company and letters of credit up to $2 million for the account of the Company and, subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement, an interest rate on the outstanding loan balance of LIBOR plus 1.15%.
