Item 8.01. Other Events.
On May 19, 2011, InterAct911 Mobile Systems, Inc. exercised its option to prepay the balance due of $3,222,000 under the Note Receivable issued to BIO-key for the sale of the Law Enforcement division. The total purchase price paid by InterAct911 to BIO-key for their former Law Enforcement Division, after customary closing adjustments was approximately $11.3 million. Of that amount, approximately $7.3 million was received by BIO-key in cash at the closing in December 2009 and InterAct911 issued a guaranteed, secured three-year promissory note for the remaining $4 million due by December 2012. In consideration for the early payment from InterAct911, BIO-key accepted a $150,000 discount on the principal amount due. The Company’s Secured Promissory Note holders have agreed to absorb $50,000 of the discount with the remainder borne by the Company. The total amount received by the Company was $3,113,654 which included principal and interest income net of the discount and legal fees incurred.
On May 20, 2011, BIO-key exercised its prepayment option and paid the outstanding balance owed to its principal investor on its Secured Promissory Note in the amount of $3,157,759. The total amount paid by the Company was $3,192,421 and included principal and interest less the principal investor’s share of the discount described above.
On May 25, 2011, BIO-key International, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its receipt of early payment on its Note Receivable and the company’s plans to retire its Secured Promissory Note which is included as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K.
