Introductory Note
SPAR Group, Inc. ("SGRP" or the "Corporation", and together with its subsidiaries, the "Company", "SPAR" or "SPAR Group") has listed its shares of common stock, par value $0.01 ("Common Stock") for trading through the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") under the trading symbol "SGRP" and periodically files reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Reference is made to: (a) SGRP's Amended 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on July 17, 2025 (the "2024 Annual Report"), and (b) SGRP's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other reports and statements as and when filed with the SEC (together with the 2024 Annual Report, each an "SEC Report").
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 14, 2026, SPAR Marketing Force, Inc. ("SMF"), a wholly owned subsidiary of SGRP and part of the Company, entered into a $4,000,000 unsecured loan arrangement (the "Loan") with PC Group, Inc. ("PC Group"). The Loan is evidenced by a Senior Unsecured Promissory Note (the "Note") issued by SMF as borrower to PC Group, as lender, and effective as of March 13, 2026. The Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum, with interest-only payments required monthly, and the Loan is repayable in full after a term of 36 months on March 16, 2029.
The Loan provides for a staggered funding schedule as follows:
| |
●
|
Initial Drawdown: $3,000,000 was drawn by the Company on March 16, 2026.
|
| |
●
|
Additional Drawdown: The remaining $1,000,000 is available to drawdown in July 2026.
|
In connection with the Loan, SMF has agreed to cause SGRP to issue to PC Group 1,000,000 shares of SGRP's Common Stock at a deemed value of $0.80 per share, totaling $800,000, which issuance is to occur within thirty (30) days after execution of the Note without restrictions other than applicable securities laws. Under the terms of the Loan, this $800,000 deemed value will be applied as a reduction to the final principal payoff amount due at the end of the 36-month term, but that a reduction is subject to adjustment if SGRP issues shares of its Common Stock, or securities convertible into such shares, for less than $0.80 per share at any time during the thirty-six (36) months following the Note's effective date.
SGRP joined in executing the Note as an unconditional guarantor of the payment and performance of all of SMF's obligations under the Note.
Forward Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K (this "Current Report") contains forward-looking statements within the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, made by, or respecting, the Corporation and its subsidiaries. "Forward-looking statements" are defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and other applicable federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations, as amended.
Readers can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Words such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "believe," "estimate," "anticipate," "continue," "plan," "project," or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions also identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements made by the Corporation in this Current Report may include (without limitation) statements regarding: risks, uncertainties, cautions, circumstances and other factors ("Risks"). Those Risks include (without limitation): borrowing, repaying or guarantying the Loan under the Note or paying interest thereon; issuing the shares of SGRP's Common Stock pursuant to the Note; the departure of various Corporation executives and the agreements made with them; potential non-compliance with applicable Nasdaq rules regarding minimum bid prices, the filing of periodic financial reports, director independence, holding annual meetings, or other rules; the impact of selling certain of the Corporation's subsidiaries; or any impact resulting from the Risks on revenues, earnings or cash; the Company's cash flows or financial condition; and plans, intentions, expectations.
For additional information and risk factors that could affect the Corporation, see its 2024 Annual Report and other SEC Reports as filed with the SEC. The information contained in this Current Report is made only as of the date hereof, even if subsequently made available by the Corporation on its website or otherwise.
You should carefully review and consider the Corporation's forward-looking statements (including all risk factors and other cautions and uncertainties) and other information made, contained or noted in or incorporated by reference into this Current Report, but you should not place undue reliance on any of them. The results, actions, levels of activity, performance, achievements or condition of the Company (including its affiliates, assets, business, clients, capital, cash flow, credit, expenses, financial condition, income, legal costs, liabilities, liquidity, locations, marketing, operations, performance, prospects, sales, strategies, taxation or other achievement, results, risks, trends or condition) and other events and circumstances planned, intended, anticipated, estimated or otherwise expected by the Company (collectively, "Expectations"), and our forward-looking statements (including all Risks) and other information reflect the Corporation's current views about future events and circumstances. Although the Corporation believes those Expectations and views are reasonable, the results, actions, levels of activity, performance, achievements or condition of the Company or other events and circumstances may differ materially from our Expectations and views, and they cannot be assured or guaranteed by the Corporation, since they are subject to Risks and other assumptions, changes in circumstances and unpredictable events (many of which are beyond the Corporation's control). In addition, new Risks arise from time to time, and it is impossible for the Corporation to predict these matters or how they may arise or affect the Company. Accordingly, the Corporation cannot assure you that its Expectations will be achieved in whole or in part, that it has identified all potential Risks, or that it can successfully avoid or mitigate such Risks in whole or in part, any of which could be significant and materially adverse to the Company and the value of your investment in the Corporation's common stock.
These forward-looking statements reflect the Corporation's Expectations, views, Risks and assumptions only as of the date hereof, and the Corporation does not intend, assume any obligation, or promise to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements (including any Risks or Expectations) or other information (in whole or in part), whether as a result of new information, new or worsening Risks or uncertainties, changed circumstances, future events, recognition, or otherwise.
