Item 2.03.
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On April 23, 2020, Pharma-Bio Serv PR, Inc., Pharma Serv, Inc., and Pharma-Bio Serv US, Inc. (collectively, the “Borrowers”), each a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pharma-Bio Serv, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into loan agreements and related promissory notes (the “SBA Loan Documents”) to receive U.S. Small Business Administration Loans (the “SBA Loans”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), in the aggregate amount of $1,931,700 (the “Loan Proceeds”). The Borrowers received the Loan Proceeds on April 23, 2020. Under the SBA Loan Documents, the SBA Loans have a fixed interest rate of 1%, repayment begins six months from the date of disbursement of each SBA Loan, and the SBA Loans mature two years from the date of first disbursement. There is no prepayment penalty.
Pursuant to the terms of the SBA Loan Documents, the Borrowers may apply for forgiveness of the amount due on the SBA Loans in an amount equal to the sum of the following costs incurred by the Borrowers during the eight-week period (or any other period that may be authorized by the U.S. Small Business Administration) beginning on the date of first disbursement of the SBA Loans: payroll costs, any payment of interest on a covered mortgage obligation, payment on a covered rent obligation, and any covered utility payment. The amount of SBA Loan forgiveness shall be calculated in accordance with the requirements of the PPP, including the provisions of Section 1106 of the CARES Act, although no more than 25% of the amount forgiven can be attributable to non-payroll costs. No assurance is provided that forgiveness for any portion of the SBA Loans will be obtained.
The promissory notes evidencing the SBA Loans contain customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, or provisions of the promissory notes. The occurrence of an event of default may result in the repayment of all amounts outstanding, collection of all amounts owing from the Borrowers, and/or filing suit and obtaining judgment against the Borrowers.
The foregoing description of the SBA Loan Documents is a summary only and is qualified in its entirely by the reference to the full text of the loan agreements and promissory notes, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6 to this Current Report and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01
Other Events
On April 29, 2020, the Company's Board voted unanimously to temporarily suspend the Company's stock repurchase plan. The Board believes it is prudent to suspend the program due to current economic uncertainties and will review reinstating the program at a future date.

WHEREAS, Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that it meets all qualifications for participation in the PPP set forth in the Act and further meets any and all other requirements or conditions for participation set forth by the SBA;
NOW THEREFORE: The SBA has authorized a guaranty of a loan from Lender to Borrower for the amount and under the terms stated in the attached Authorization ("Loan").

c. The Loan proceeds will be used to retain employees and maintain payroll and at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the proceeds must be used for payroll costs. The remaining balance, up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Loan proceeds may be used for authorized purposes under the PPP, including for mortgage interest payments, lease payments, and utility payments (i.e., not more than twenty-five percent (25%) of loan proceeds may be used for non-payroll costs). Borrower understands and acknowledges that if the funds are knowingly used for unauthorized purposes, the federal government may hold Borrower legally liable for fraudulent use of funds.

2
j. Borrower is familiar and complies with the SBA affiliation rules and regulations set forth in Title 13 Part 121 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for purposes of obtaining the Loan.

This Agreement and any amendments hereto or document related hereto, to the extent signed and delivered by electronic means (including portable document format (.pdf)), shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effects as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person.
