Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Effective June 20, 2014, Ballantyne Strong, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Third Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) to make certain revisions to the terms of its $20 million Revolving Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) and an associated $20,000,000 Revolving Line of Credit Note (the “Note”). The Third Amendment and the Note:

The Third Amendment also contains certain other nonmaterial amendments to the Revolving Credit Agreement.

The Third Amendment preserves the Company’s ability to request an increase in the Revolving Credit Agreement by up to an additional $5 million; however, any advances of the additional $5 million would continue to be subject to approval of Wells Fargo, N.A. The borrowings from the Revolving Credit Agreement will primarily be used for working capital purposes and for other general corporate purposes.  The Company’s accounts receivable, general intangibles and inventory secure borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement. As of the date of this report, no borrowings were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

The Note provides that borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 125 basis points. Interest on the Note is payable on a monthly basis beginning July 1, 2014.. [Under the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Company also pays a fee of 0.15% per annum on any unused portion of this credit facility.

This summary is qualified entirely by reference to the Revolving Credit Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Form 8-K filed on July 7, 2010, to the First Amendment to Credit Agreement which was filed as Exhibit 4.2 to the Form 8-K filed on June 30, 2011, to the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement which was filed as Exhibit 4.2 to the Form 8-K filed on May 11, 2012, and to the Third Amendment and the Note filed on Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 to this report.
