AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · OPTICAL CABLE CORP (OCC)

Optical Cable Corp. repays Northeast Bank loan with new $2.65 million credit union loan

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 financing Written later

Optical Cable Corporation entered a $2,650,000 business loan with Freedom First Federal Credit Union on April 30, 2026, and used it to pay off its existing Virginia real estate loan with Northeast Bank. The new loan matures May 1, 2036, is secured by a deed of trust on real property in Roanoke County, Virginia, and carries a 6.5% fixed rate for the first five years. The filing does not state how the company will use the proceeds beyond the payoff, so shareholders will mainly see a change in the terms and lender of the company's debt.
