Material Changes
On May 31, 2006, CECO repaid in full the "ICS and Sandler Subordinated Debt." This action was enabled by a Letter Agreement entered into on May 30, 2006, with Fifth Third Bank, CECO's primary lender. The repayment eliminated the outstanding obligations evidenced by promissory notes dated February 2006.
