Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 16, 2020, Educational Development Corporation (the “Company”), entered into a loan with MidFirst Bank as the lender (“Lender”) in an aggregate principal amount of $1,447,400 (the “Loan”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

The Loan is evidenced by a promissory note dated April 16, 2020 and matures on April 16, 2022. The Note bears interest at a rate of 1.000% per annum, with the first six months of interest deferred. Principal and interest are payable monthly commencing on November 1, 2020 and may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. In order to be entitled to forgiveness, funds from the Loan may only be used for payroll costs, costs used to continue group health care benefits, mortgage payments, rent, utilities, and interest on other debt obligations under the terms and conditions outlined by the PPP. The Company intends to use all or a significant majority of the Loan amount for qualifying expenses.

The Company issued a press release regarding the loan and announced, among other impacts, that the Loan, under current CARES restrictions, does not prevent the Company from continuing its practice of paying quarterly dividends.
