Item 1.01                                             Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On November 30, 2007, EMRISE Corporation (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively with the Company’s subsidiaries that later became party to the agreement pursuant to that certain Amendment Number 1 to Loan Documents dated August 20, 2008, the “Borrowers”) entered into a Credit Agreement with GVEC Resource IV Inc. (the “Lender”), an affiliate of Private Equity Management Group LLC, which Credit Agreement has been amended from time to time (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”).

 

The Borrowers and the Lender entered into Amendment Number 15 to Loan Documents (“Amendment 15”), which amends the Credit Agreement as of July 31, 2010.  Among other things, Amendment 15 extends the maturity date of the Credit Agreement from July 31, 2010 to August 31, 2010 and modifies the schedule for certain milestone events related to the process for the sale of certain assets of the Borrowers.  Amendment 15 further provides that a termination of the stock purchase agreement for the sale of Advanced Control Components, which became terminable by either party at any time on August 1, 2010, is an event of default.  Except for these amendments, the Credit Agreement remains in full force and effect.

 

Item 8.01                                             Other Events.

 

On August 4, 2010, the Company issued the attached press release regarding its annual meeting of stockholders, including consideration of proposals to approve the sale of Advanced Control Components, elect a director, and ratify the independent auditors, as well as to describe Amendment 15.

 

A copy of the Company’s press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
