As previously announced, on September 22, 2017, Versar, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Kingswood Genesis Fund I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Kingswood") and KW Genesis Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended and restated by the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 27, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement”).
 
On September 17, 2017, in connection with Kingswood’s negotiations with the Company’s subordinated debt holders in anticipation of the completion of the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into promissory notes with certain existing creditors pursuant to which the creditors have agreed to extend the payment terms of the indebtedness owing by the Company to such creditors. Each of these promissory notes was issued in cancellation of an existing promissory note executed by the Company and payable to the applicable creditor and is subject to the condition that if the Company fails to consummate the closing of a sale of the Company pursuant to the Merger Agreement on or before November 15, 2017, such promissory note will be void and of no effect. In the event that the Merger is not consummated on or before November 15, 2017, these obligations will revert back to their original terms and be immediately due and payable. The aggregate principal amount of the new notes is approximately $3.7 million.
 
Further, on September 22, 2017, the Company and Kingswood entered into a letter agreement with a third party creditor of the Company in settlement of claims. The letter agreement, among other things, provides for a forbearance period and release of claims. The forbearance period will terminate and the release of claims will not become effective if the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement is not consummated on or before December 26, 2017. Pursuant to the letter agreement and in consideration of the settlement of claims, the Company agreed to execute a promissory note payable to the creditor in the original principal amount of $1,444,593.
 
The foregoing description of the promissory notes and letter agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the promissory notes and letter agreement, which are attached hereto as exhibits, and are incorporated herein by reference.
