NOTE 12 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Bank had various loans outstanding to directors and officers. All of these loans were made under normal credit terms and did not involve more than normal risk of collection. See Note 3 for further details.

In September 2014, the Company closed a $600,000 one-year borrowing. The loan was provided by a board member of the Bank and as a result needed to comply with Regulation O. Proceeds of the loan were used primarily to fund the research and development effort in the Transaction Services business segment. The loan was collateralized by a first perfected security interest in certain real estate assets of the Company. The loan was fully drawn at closing, and carried an annual interest rate of 7% per annum for the first six months on any outstanding borrowings and then stepped up to 8% per annum for the remaining 6 months of the term. On March 18, 2015, one of the parcels of real estate was sold and a payment was made on the loan so that the outstanding balance of the loan was $149,774, which was equal to the balance on June 30, 2015. The outstanding balance of $149,774 plus accrued interest was repaid in its entirety on September 3, 2015.

On May 14, 2015, the Company entered into a license agreement with MPIB pursuant to which it received a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-licensable, worldwide license to use certain intellectual property of MPIB related to mobile payments and digital transactions. On January 4, 2016, the parties amended and restated the license agreement (the “Amended and Restated License Agreement”) pursuant to which MPIB agreed to make the license perpetual, subject to termination rights of the parties set forth in the Amended and Restated License Agreement, in exchange for the Company’s payment of an additional license fee of $275,000.
