As of December 2017, Mr. John H. Schwan was owed a total of $1.1 million, with additional accrued interest of $0.4 million, by the Company. Mr. Schwan is the father of Jana Schwan. As part of the December 2017 financing with PNC Bank, Mr. Schwan executed a subordination agreement related to these amounts due to him, as evidenced by a related note representing the amount owed to Mr. Schwan. During January 2019, Mr. Schwan and the Company agreed to an exchange of $0.6 million of his debt for approximately 181,000 shares of CTI common stock at the then market rate of $3.32 per share. As of December 31, 2023, the balance of Mr. Schwan’s note was approximately $1.3 million, including accrued interest. Per agreement between the parties, this note was repaid in installments: $0.5 million on January 2, 2024, another $0.5 million on January 16, 2024, with the remaining $0.3 million outstanding as of December 31, 2024 with an ultimate payment date subject to mutual determination by the parties.

The Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Yunhong Technology (Hubei) Co. Ltd., in the Hubei Province of China. On June 30, 2024, the Company, through the China subsidiary, acquired certain production assets pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement and in exchange for 5 million shares of the Company’s common stock, which was valued at $6.25 million. Certificates representing these common shares were not issued as of December 31, 2024, however, we deem this an administrative action which will be resolved during 2025.

Relationships and transactions in which the Company and its directors and executive officers or their immediate family members are participants or have conflicts of interest are reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee. While the Audit Committee has not adopted a written policy for the review and approval of related party transactions, in determining whether to approve or ratify any such transaction, the Audit Committee considers, in addition to such other factors it may deem appropriate in the circumstances, whether (i) the transaction is fair and reasonable to the Company, (ii) under all of the circumstances, the transaction is in, or not inconsistent with, the Company’s best interests, and (iii) the transaction will be on terms no less favorable to the Company than could have been obtained in an arms’ length transaction with an unrelated third party. The Audit Committee, in its discretion, may request information from any party to facilitate its consideration of the matter. The Audit Committee does not allow a director to participate in any review, approval or ratification of any transaction if he or she, or his or her immediate family member, has a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction.
