Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On July 13, 2015, Medical Transcription Billing, Corp. (the “Company”) amended and restated its promissory note to Mahmud Haq, the Company’s chairman of the board of directors, chief executive officer and largest shareholder. The amended and restated note amends, restates and replaces the obligations under the Company’s original promissory note to Mr. Haq dated July 5, 2013, as amended, which was made in the amount of $1,000,000.

 

The amended and restated note allows, upon mutual consent of Mahmud Haq and the Company, the re-borrowing by the Company of sums which have been prepaid under the amended and restated note as long as the total amount outstanding at any time does not exceed $1,000,000. The terms of the amended and restated note, including the principal amount, interest rate and maturity date, are otherwise substantially the same as the terms of the original note.

 

The amended and restated note was approved by all of the independent members of the Company’s Audit Committee, none of whom has a direct or indirect interest in the amended and restated note.

 

The description of the transactions described in this Item 1.01 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the amended and restated note which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.5.


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