Restated and Amended Loan Agreement between Greystone and IBC

On July 29, 2022, Greystone and GSM (collectively “Borrowers”) and International Bank of Commerce (“IBC”) entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (“IBC Restated Loan Agreement”) that provided for the consolidation of certain term loans and a renewed revolver loan.

The IBC Restated Loan Agreement, dated July 29, 2022, as amended, provided for IBC to make certain term loans to Greystone to consolidate all existing term loans and provide additional funding for the purchase of equipment and renewal of the revolving loan in the aggregate principal amount of $6,000,000 (the “Revolving Loan”), subject to borrowing base limitations. The Revolving Loan has an interest rate of the greater of 7.50% through February 4, 2025 and 6.50% beginning February 5, 2025 or prime rate of interest plus 0.50% (8.00% as of August 31, 2025) and a maturity date of February 5, 2026. As of August 31, 2025, Greystone’s available revolving loan borrowing capacity was approximately $3,630,000.

The IBC term loans require equal monthly payments of principal and interest in such amounts sufficient to amortize the principal balance of the loans over the remaining lives. The monthly payments of principal and interest on the IBC term loans may vary due to changes in the prime rate of interest. As of August 31, 2025, the aggregate payments for the IBC term loans are approximately $250,000 per month.

The IBC Restated Loan Agreement includes customary events of default, including events of default relating to non-payment of principal and other amounts owing under the IBC Restated Loan Agreement from time to time, inaccuracy of representations, violation of covenants, defaults under other agreements, bankruptcy and similar events, the death of a guarantor, certain material adverse changes relating to a Borrower or guarantor, certain judgments or awards against a Borrower, or government action affecting a Borrower’s or guarantor’s ability to perform under the IBC Restated Loan Agreement or the related loan documents. In addition, without prior written consent, Greystone shall not declare or pay any dividends, redemptions, distributions and withdrawals with respect to its equity interest other than distributions to holders of its preferred stock in the aggregate of $1,000,000 in any fiscal year. Among other things, a default under the IBC Restated Loan Agreement would permit IBC to cease lending funds under the IBC Restated Loan Agreement and require immediate repayment of any outstanding notes with interest and any unpaid accrued fees.

The IBC Restated Loan Agreement is secured by a lien on substantially all assets of the Borrowers. Warren F. Kruger, the Company’s President and CEO, and Robert B. Rosene, Jr., a member of the Company’s Board of Directors and a member of the board for IBC, have provided limited guaranties of the Borrowers’ obligations under the IBC Restated Loan Agreement. Mr. Kruger’s guarantee is limited to 32.4% of all debt obligations to IBC. Mr. Rosene’s limited guaranty is the lesser of (i) $3,500,000 less all amounts paid on the principal amount of the loans after the date of the agreement excluding payments on the revolver and (ii) the amount owed to IBC of the loans outstanding from time to time including accrued interest and fees. During the year ended May 31, 2025, Mr. Rosene was released from his guaranty in accordance with the IBC Restated Loan Agreement.

On February 5, 2024, Greystone and IBC entered into a Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement. Among other things, the primary terms extended the maturity date of the Revolving Loan from July 29, 2024 to February 5, 2026. In addition, distributions to holders of its preferred stock was raised to $1,000,000. IBC authorized the Greystone stock repurchase plan not to exceed $1,000,000.

On January 14, 2025, Greystone and IBC entered into a Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement. The amendment served to limit the repurchase of equity instruments in Greystone Logistics in an aggregate amount not exceeding $1,000,000 through the period ended May 31, 2026.

A waiver was obtained related to the preferred and common stock repurchases being in excess of the maximum allowable under the credit agreement.

Loan Agreement with First Interstate Bank, formerly Great Western Bank

On August 23, 2021, Greystone and First Interstate Bank entered into a loan agreement (the “FIB Loan Agreement”) in connection with certain prior loans and a mortgage loan to refinance certain land and buildings located in Bettendorf, IA.

The FIB Loan Agreement includes customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants which include (i) requiring the Borrowers to maintain a debt service coverage ratio of 1:25 to 1:00 as of the end of each fiscal year end and debt to tangible net worth ratio of 4:00 to 1:00 as of the end of each fiscal year end with a decrease of 0.50 in the ratio each year thereafter until reaching a minimum ratio of 3:00 to 1:00. In addition, the FIB Loan Agreement provides that Greystone shall not, without prior consent of the bank, incur or assume additional indebtedness or capital leases.

The FIB Loan Agreement is secured by a mortgage on one of Greystone’s warehouses.
