Paycheck Protection Program Loan

On April 15, 2020, EVO Transportation & Energy Services, Inc. (the “Company”) obtained a loan (the “Loan”) from BOKF, N.A. (dba Bank of Oklahoma) in the amount of $10,000,000 under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act.

The Loan, which is memorialized by a Note dated April 15, 2020 issued by the Company, matures on April 15, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum, payable monthly commencing on November 15, 2020. The Company may prepay the Note at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The principal amount of the Loan and accrued interest are eligible for forgiveness after eight weeks if the Company uses the Loan proceeds for qualifying expenses, including payroll, rent, and utilities and the Company maintains its payroll levels. The amount of the Loan eligible for forgiveness will be reduced if the Company terminates employees or reduces salaries during the eight-week period.

The Company intends to use the entire Loan amount for qualifying expenses. While the Company currently believes that its use of the Loan proceeds will meet the conditions for forgiveness, the Company cannot be certain that it will not take actions that could cause it to lose eligibility for Loan forgiveness. In order to obtain full or partial forgiveness of the Loan, the Company must request forgiveness and must provide satisfactory documentation in accordance with applicable United States Small Business Administration (“SBA”) regulations and guidance. The Company will be obligated to repay any portion of the principal amount of the Note that is not forgiven, together with accrued interest thereon at the rate set forth above until such unforgiven portion is paid in full.

The foregoing summary description of the material terms of the Note is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Note, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On April 21, 2020, the Company and Thomas J. Abood, the Company’s chief executive officer, entered into an amended and restated employment agreement effective April 10, 2020 (the “A&R CEO Employment Agreement”). The A&R CEO Employment Agreement amends the September 23, 2019 executive employment agreement between Mr. Abood and the Company (the “Original Employment Agreement”) and extends the initial term of the Original Employment Agreement from September 23, 2020 to December 31, 2023. If Mr. Abood is terminated without cause or he resigns with good reason, he will be entitled to receive severance, subject to his execution and non-revocation of a release of claims in favor of the Company and its officers, directors and affiliates, equal to his annual base salary. The A&R CEO Employment Agreement also provides that, beginning January 1, 2021, if the Company is performing at 80% of the then applicable Company budgeted EBITDA for the applicable quarterly period as shown in the Company’s internal unaudited financial statements, the Company will pay Mr. Abood a quarterly transportation supplement of $25,000. Pursuant to the A&R CEO Employment Agreement, the Company agreed to grant Mr. Abood options to purchase 1,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $2.50 per share. 25% of the options vested on the effective date of the A&R CEO Employment Agreement, and the remaining options vest in equal annual installments on the first, second and third anniversary of the effective date of the A&R CEO Employment Agreement.

The foregoing summary description of the material terms of the A&R CEO Employment Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the A&R CEO Employment Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
