Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On May 24, 2019, Global Technology, Inc. ( “Global Technology”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Applied Optoelectronics, Inc., entered into a five-year revolving credit line agreement, totaling 180,000,000 RMB (the “Credit Line”) and a mortgage security agreement (the “Security Agreement”), with Shanghai Pudong Development Bank Co., Ltd., in Ningbo City, China ( the “Bank”). Borrowing under the Credit Line will be used for general corporate and capital investment purposes.
The full Credit Line of 180 million RMB shall be inclusive of all credit facilities previously entered into with the Bank including: the 30 million RMB credit facilities entered into on May 7, 2019; the 2 million USD credit facility entered into on May 8, 2019; and the 9.9 million RMB credit facility entered into on April 30, 2019.
Global Technology may draw upon the Credit Line on an as-needed basis at any time during the 5-year term; however, draws under the Credit Line may become due and repayable to the Bank at the Bank’s discretion due to changes in Chinese government regulations and/or changes in Global Technology’s financial and operational condition. Each draw will bear interest equal to the Bank’s commercial banking interest rate effective on the day of the applicable draw.
Global Technology’s obligations under the Credit Line will be secured by real property owned by Global Technology and mortgaged to the Bank under the terms of the Security Agreement. The agreements for the Credit Line and Security Agreement also contain rights and obligations, representations and warranties, and events of default applicable to the Global Technology that are customary for agreements of this type.

(5) | The Client has provided documents on its production, operation, financial activities, and financial statements, and promised to provide and accept the supervision and inspection for and of the Financing Bank on time within the validity period of this Agreement. |
(6) | The proposed financing amount does not exceed the remaining credit balance. |

(8) | Other prerequisites proposed by the Financing Bank (if any, see "Other Agreed Matters" in Part 2 for details). |
8. | Occupied Financing Credit Line It refers to the sum of the financing fund that the Financing Bank has already issued to the Client in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the accompanying financing documents, the amount that has not been repaid by the Client, and the amount involved in the commitment made at the Client's request, subtracting the amount that the Client or the Client’s guarantor has paid to the Financing Bank in the form of cash pledge (including margin) except as otherwise agreed by the parties. |
9. | Revolving As for the revolving financing credit line, after the Client has fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement and the accompanying financing documents (including repaying the relevant financing funds, increasing the margin to 100%, and relieving the Financing Bank of its payment responsibility), the credit line occupied by the amount involved in the fulfilled obligations shall be restored, and the Client may continue to apply to the Financing Bank for use of the financing credit line within its use period in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Once the non-revolving financing credit line is occupied, it cannot be restored for use unless the Financing Bank agrees to it. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Financing Bank is entitled to review the conditions of the Client and the collateral on a yearly basis. If the conditions of the Client and the collateral pass the Financing Bank's review, the Client may continue to use the financing credit line in the next year. If the conditions of the Client and the collateral fail the Financing Bank's review, the Financing Bank is entitled to cancel the financing credit line at the beginning of the next year. Except for the accompanying financing documents that are still in force, the unused and to-be-prepaid financing credit line can no longer be used. |
10. | Guarantee If the financing credit line hereunder is guaranteed, the additional prerequisite for the Client's application for financing in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement is that the guarantee document has been signed and has become effective. If the Financing Credit Line Form contains any requirements for the margin ratio of the opened LC, LG/standby LC, or bank acceptance bill, the precondition for the Client to apply for the opening of the LC, LG/standby LC, or bank acceptance bill is that the relevant proportion of the deposit has been paid in full. If the Client applies for a change of the financing credit line and as a result the financing credit line is increased, the Client shall provide additional collateral or urge the guarantor to confirm the change and provide additional collateral. If the Client can continue to use the financial credit line in the next year upon the Financing Bank's review, it shall ensure that the relevant guarantee will continue to be effective according to the requirements of the Financing Bank. |
11. | Tax Unless the law requires the Client to pay the relevant tax when repaying the financing fund, the Client's repayment hereunder shall be made in full without any deduction. If the Client must pay the relevant tax in accordance with the law, it shall issue a tax payment certificate to the Financing Bank within fifteen (15) days after the relevant deduction is made, and shall pay additional amount to the Financing Bank to make the total amount equivalent to that the Financing Bank should have received without any deduction. |

1.4 | Changes to the Principal Contract |
The Mortgagor hereby acknowledges that, if any extension granted by the Mortgagee to the debtor or the amendments or changes made by the Mortgagee and the debtor to any provisions of the Principal Contract do not increase the responsibilities of the Mortgagor, the rights and interests of the Mortgagee under this Contract shall not be affected by such changes, and the guarantee liabilities of the Mortgagor shall not be reduced or exempted because of such changes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Mortgagee has issued a letter of credit (LC), a letter of guarantee (LG), or a standby LC to the debtor, the Mortgagee and the debtor may make any amendments to the Principal Contract (including the LC, LG, or standby LC issued thereunder) without consent from or further notice to the Mortgagor.
