China
Construction Bank was previously provided a pledge of the land use rights and buildings of the Chinese subsidiary of Applied Optoelectronics,
Inc. (the “Company”) in connection with certain credit facilities. The aggregate amount available under these credit
facilities totaled approximately $13.2 million. As of December 31, 2016, the outstanding balance of bank acceptance notes issued
by the Company’s Chinese subsidiary to vendors under these facilities was $0.3 million. These amounts were subsequently repaid.
A portion of the available amount under these facilities had been allocated under the Comprehensive Credit Line Agreement between
China Construction Bank and the Company’s Taiwan branch, which provided a $10 million revolving credit line to the Company’s
Taiwan branch, maturing as of March 15, 2017. As of December 31, 2016, no amounts were outstanding with respect to the Company’s
Taiwan branch.
On March
29, 2017, the Company’s Chinese subsidiary received a notice of release with respect to the land use rights and buildings
that had been pledged as collateral for these credit facilities. As a result of the release of this collateral, the credit facilities
previously provided by China Construction Bank to Company’s Chinese subsidiary and the Company’s Taiwan branch have
been terminated.
