Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 4, 2016, Owens Realty Mortgage, Inc. (the “Company”) signed and entered into the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Loan Documents, which is dated as of March 1, 2016 (the “First Amendment”), with California Bank & Trust, a division of ZB, N.A (“CB&T”), as administrative agent, swingline lender and a lender, and First Bank as lender, together with two Master Revolving Notes from the Company (one to CB&T in an amount up to $35,000,000 and the other to First Bank in an amount up to $15,000,000).  The First Amendment and related Master Revolving Notes collectively amend the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and related loan documents, dated as of April 16, 2015 (as amended, the “Credit Facility”), among the parties to increase the current maximum commitment of the lenders from $30,000,000 to $50,000,000 and to permit the maximum commitment of the lenders to be increased in the future to up to $75,000,000 if requested by the Company and approved by the lenders. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein are further defined in the Credit Facility agreements.

The maximum borrowings under the revolving Credit Facility is the lesser of $50,000,000 (the “Commitment”) or the amount determined pursuant to a borrowing base calculation described in the Advance Formula Agreement as amended by the First Amendment. The First Amendment also provides that the maximum Commitment can be increased to $75,000,000 if requested by the Company and agreed by the lenders, and additional lenders can be added as parties to the Credit Facility agreements.  Funds under the Credit Facility may continue to be borrowed, repaid and redrawn, and the First Amendment documents extend the maturity date for borrowings under the Credit Facility to March 1, 2018. The First Amendment also amends certain financial covenants in the Credit Facility, and requires payment by the Company to the lenders of an origination fee of $250,000.

The foregoing descriptions of the First Amendment documents do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the First Amendment and the two Master Revolving Notes attached as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. A copy of a press release announcing the amendment of the Credit Facility is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
 
The information set forth under Item 1.01 above is incorporated herein by reference.
