Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.





Amendment to Loan Agreement


Coffee Holding Co., Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary Organic Products Trading Company LLC ("OPTCO," and together with the Company the "Borrowers") are party to a Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, as amended (the "Loan Agreement"), dated April 25, 2017, by and among the Borrowers and Webster Bank ("Lender").

As of October 31, 2022, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants which constituted events of default under the Loan Agreement ("Events of Default"). On March 15, 2023, Borrowers entered into the Ninth Loan Modification Agreement (the "Amendment") with the Lender which amended the Loan Agreement to waive the foregoing Events of Default. The Amendment, among other things: (i) requires for subordination agreements to be executed with the Lender prior to the issuance of any subordinate debt of the Company, if necessary, (ii) allows for transactions with Affiliates (as defined in the Loan Agreement) in the ordinary course of business, (iii) establishes a new debt to tangible net worth ratio covenant, and (iv) establishes a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant.

Other than as modified above, the terms of the Loan Agreement remain in full force and effect.

The foregoing summary of the terms of the Amendment is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Amendment, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company's next periodic report.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

As of March 15, 2023, the Amendment constitutes a direct financial obligation of the Company, the material terms of which are described above under Item 1.01 and are incorporated herein by reference.
