(the &#8220;Company&#8221;) agreed to extend the maturity of the Company&#8217;s Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (&#8220;Loan Agreement&#8221;) from September 30, 2015 to October 30, 2015, in order to provide the Company with additional time to refinance its obligations to PNC with another lender. The Company agreed to continue its efforts to refinance its obligations to PNC and agreed to pay the Lender a fee of $0.5 million in the event a new lending arrangement is not in place by October 30, 2015. While we are in negotiations to execute a new lending arrangement in October, we can provide no assurances that the Company will close any such transaction on or before October 30, 2015 or at all. The failure to close a new lending arrangement on a timely basis would adversely affect the Company&#8217;s liquidity, access to capital and its financial results. In connection with the extension, the Company and PNC also agreed to reduce the maximum amount available to be borrowed under the Loan Agreement from $10.0 million to $8.5 million. </FONT></P>

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Loan Amendment
On September 30, 2015, PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC"), and Sypris Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") agreed to extend the maturity of the Company's Revolving Credit and Security Agreement ("Loan Agreement") from September 30, 2015 to October 30, 2015, in order to provide the Company with additional time to refinance its obligations to PNC with another lender. The Company agreed to continue its efforts to refinance its obligations to PNC and agreed to pay the Lender a fee of $0.5 million in the event a new lending arrangement is not in place by October 30, 2015. While we are in negotiations to execute a new lending arrangement in October, we can provide no assurances that the Company will close any such transaction on or before October 30, 2015 or at all. The failure to close a new lending arrangement on a timely basis would adversely affect the Company's liquidity, access to capital and its financial results. In connection with the extension, the Company and PNC also agreed to reduce the maximum amount available to be borrowed under the Loan Agreement from $10.0 million to $8.5 million.
As of September 30, there was $5.2 million in principal amount outstanding under the Loan Agreement with PNC.
Meritor Note and Amendment
On September 30, 2015, Meritor, Inc. ("Meritor") and the Company similarly agreed to amend the Company's previously disclosed promissory note to Meritor ("Note") by extending the maturity date to October 30, 2015. The Company also increased its indebtedness under the Note by an additional $0.3 million, as previously disclosed, for certain roof repairs to the Company's former Morganton, North Carolina facility which were recently assumed by Meritor in connection with its purchase of that facility. The amended principal amount of the Note is approximately $3.8 million, and is secured by substantially all of the collateral for the Loan Agreement, senior to the promissory note previously issued to Gill Family Capital Management, Inc., and subordinate to the rights of PNC.
