<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">On June 8, 2018, CTI Industries Corporation, along with its subsidiaries Flexo Universal, S. de R.L. de C.V. and CTI Supply, Inc. (collectively, &ldquo;the Company&rdquo;) entered into Waiver and Amendment No. 1 (the &quot;Amendment&quot;) to Revolving Credit, Term Loan, and Security Agreement (the &ldquo;Agreement&rdquo;) with PNC Bank, National Association (&ldquo;PNC&rdquo;). The original Agreement included a $6 million term loan and up to $18 million of availability under the revolving credit facility. As previously reported, the Company notified PNC of failure to meet two financial covenants in the Agreement for the period ended March 31, 2018. The Amendment provides a waiver for this failure, an amendment fee, and revised covenants for the remainder of the Agreement.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">The following is a summary of certain material elements of the Amendment.&nbsp; The Amendment and related documents are filed as Exhibits to this Form 8-K. The Agreement has a five year term, and is collateralized by the assets of the Company.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">In consideration of the waiver and amendments described in the Amendment, the Company has agreed to pay $58,750.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">The Agreement includes certain financial covenants including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum fixed coverage ratio, as well as weekly and monthly reporting obligations, and the usual and customary events of default and certain restrictions related to the repayment of subordinated debt, capital expenses, affiliate transactions and indebtedness. The Amendment incorporates a similar Fixed Charge coverage ratio, the calculation for which is quarterly beginning April 1, 2018 for future covenant commitments. In addition, until the Fixed Charge coverage ratio meets or exceeds 1.1 to 1.0 for the previous twelve months, the rate of interest is increased by 2%.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">The Leverage ratio has been modified to be calculated quarterly, beginning June 30, 2018 using data beginning April 1, 2018, at a multiple beginning at 4.5 and gradually reducing to 2.75 by September 30, 2019. A new EBITDA covenant was added in the Amendment, with the Company committing to EBITDA of at least $300,000 during April 2018 and $750,000 during the two months ended May 31, 2018.</p>
