Item 2.04 – Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement| 8-K Explained

Defaults on loans or other events that trigger the acceleration or increase of a financial obligation must be disclosed in an 8-K if the consequences of the event are material to the company. For example, if a company defaults on a loan, its creditors typically have the right to demand immediate payment of the entire amount owed. In such a case, if immediate repayment would be material, the company must disclose the amount to be repaid, the repayment terms and other financial obligations that might have to be repaid on an accelerated basis as a result of the initial default. Cross default provisions may allow other creditors to demand immediate repayment of amounts owed to them.
