Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On April 30, 2010, Optical Cable Corporation (the “Company”) and SunTrust Bank (the “Bank”) entered into a revolving credit facility consisting of a Commercial Note and Agreement to Commercial Note under which the Bank provided the Company with a revolving line of credit for the working capital needs of the Company (the “Commercial Loan”). The Commercial Loan was due to mature on May 31, 2012. On July 25, 2011, the Company entered into a binding letter of renewal of commercial note extending the Commercial Loan to May 31, 2013. The Binding Letter of Renewal is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The Commercial Loan provides the Company the ability to borrow an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of (i) $6,000,000, or (ii) the sum of 85% of certain receivables aged 90 days or less plus 35% of the lesser of $1,000,000 or certain foreign receivables plus 25% of certain raw materials inventory. Within the Revolving Loan Limit, the Company may borrow, repay, and reborrow, at any time or from time to time until May 31, 2013.

Advances under the Commercial Loan accrue at the greater of LIBOR plus 2%, or 3.0%. Accrued interest on the outstanding principal balance shall be paid on the first day of each month, with all then outstanding principal, interest, fees and costs due on May 31, 2013.

Also on July 25, 2011, the Company for itself and as successor by merger to Superior Modular Products Incorporated, formerly a Delaware corporation and Valley Bank, a Virginia banking corporation, its affiliates and their successors and assigns entered into a Fourth Loan Modification Agreement for the purpose of amending the definition of “SunTrust Debt” to provide for the extension of the Commercial Loan.
