On April 15, 2016,  Arthur Black submitted his resignation as a member of the Board of Managers of Ministry Partners Investment Company, LLC (the “Company”). Mr. Black became a Board member in 1997 and served in that capacity for 19 years.  By written consent taken by the Board of Managers effective April 15, 2016, the Board has appointed Mendell L. Thompson to complete Mr. Black’s term as a Class I Manager.  Mr. Thompson’s term of office will expire on May 31, 2017 or the 2017 annual meeting of the Company’s equity members, whichever

occurs first.  Until his appointment by the Board, Mr. Thompson had not previously served as a Manager of the Company. 



Mr. Thompson currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of America’s Christian Credit Union in Glendora, California (“ACCU”), a position he has held since 1986.  ACCU currently serves more than 75,000 members, with over $313 million in assets, and manages assets of over $450 million.  With Mr. Thompson’s extensive experience in serving the credit union industry and its members during his career, he provides the Company with special expertise in credit union management, regulatory affairs, governance, marketing and strategic planning.  Mr. Thompson holds a bachelor’s degree from Point Loma Nazarene University and is a graduate of the Western CUNA Management School and Stanford University’s Executive Development Program.



There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Thompson and any other person pursuant to which he was elected to serve as a Class I Manager and there are no relationships or transactions in which Mr. Thompson has an interest that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.





Item 8.01 Other Events



On April 8, 2016, the Company and Evangelical Christian Credit Union, a California state chartered credit union (“ECCU”), entered into a Master Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company will provide marketing, member and client services, and operational and reporting services to ECCU commencing on the effective date of the Services Agreement and ending on December 31, 2016; provided, however, that unless either party provides at least thirty (30) days written notice to the other party prior to its expiration, the agreement will automatically renew for successive one year periods.  Either party may terminate the Services Agreement for any reason by providing thirty (30) days prior written notice.  During the term of the Services Agreement, ECCU has agreed to pay the Company $7,500 per month.  The Company has agreed to assign a designated service representative which must be approved by ECCU in performing its duties under the Agreement.



Pursuant to the terms of the Services Agreement, the Company will make visits to, deliver reports, and provide marketing, educational and underwriting related services to ECCU’s members, borrowers, leads, referral sources and contacts in the southeast region of the United States.  ECCU is the Company’s largest equity owner and the Services Agreement will be deemed to be a related party agreement.
