| Debt Disclosure [Text Block] | 12. DEBT
Debt consists of the following:
On August 9, 2022, the Company executed a Credit Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) with BOKF, NA (“Bank of Oklahoma” or the “Lender”). The Loan Agreement established a fixed rate term loan in the principal amount of $15,000,000 (the “Fixed Rate Term Loan”), a floating rate term loan in the principal amount of $21,000,000 (the “Floating Rate Term Loan”; together with the Fixed Rate Term Loan, collectively, the “Term Loans”), and a revolving promissory note in the principal amount up to $15,000,000 (the “Revolving Loan” or “Line of Credit”).
On April 16, 2025, the Company executed the Eighth Amendment to the Credit Agreement with the Lender. The amendment, effective April 4, 2025, increased the Revolving Loan interest rate on the effective date to SOFR + 6.00%, extended the maturity date of the Revolving Loan to July 11, 2025, and includes a required step down on the Revolving Loan to $4,500,000 million by May 31, 2025. The amendment also changed the maturity dates of the two term loans to September 19, 2025.
On August 12, 2025, Educational Development Corporation executed the Ninth Amendment to the Existing Credit Agreement with the Lender. The Amendment, effective July 11, 2025, extended the maturity date of the Revolving Loan to September 19, 2025, increased the Revolving Loan interest rate on the effective date to SOFR + 8.00% and added a 2% deferred interest rate to the Term loans and Revolving Loan.
The Company’s credit agreement with its lender expired on September 19, 2025, with the balances of our Term Loans and the Revolving Loan unpaid.
On September 30, 2025, the Company received a Reservation of Rights notice from its lender outlining that events of default have occurred and are continuing due to our failure to pay in full in cash the unpaid balance of the Term Loans and Revolving Loan before the maturity date. The Lender did not waive the specified defaults and reserved all of its rights, powers, privileges and remedies under the credit agreement, the UCC, and applicable law. Under the credit agreement, the lender had the right, among other remedies listed, to demand payment or repossess and liquidate the Company’s assets used as collateral for the loans. Under the terms of the credit agreement, an additional default interest rate of 2% was added to the existing interest rates defined in the credit agreement.
On October 27, 2025, upon the completion of the sale of the Hilti Complex, the Company repaid in full all outstanding indebtedness and terminated all commitments and obligations under its Credit Agreement dated August 9, 2022, between the Company and its Lender. The Company’s payment, including interest, was approximately $30.0 million, which satisfied all of the Company’s debt obligations with the Lender. The Company did not incur any early termination penalties because of the repayment of indebtedness or termination of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Further, the Lender waived the additional 2% default interest charge associated with the Ninth Amendment. In connection with the repayment of outstanding indebtedness, the Company was released from all security interests, mortgages, liens and encumbrances under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with the Lender. |
