Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On May 6, 2020, Arcimoto, Inc. (the “Company”), received funds from a loan in the principal amount of $1,068,686 (the “Loan”) from Seattle Bank (the “Lender”), pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was enacted on March 27, 2020.

 

The Loan is evidenced by a promissory note (the “Note”), dated May 5, 2020, issued by the Company to the Lender. The Note is unsecured, matures on May 5, 2022, and bears interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum, payable monthly commencing on December 5, 2020, following an initial deferral period as specified under the PPP. The Note may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Proceeds from the Loan will be available to the Company to fund designated expenses, including certain payroll costs, rent, utilities and other permitted expenses, in accordance with the PPP. Under the terms of the PPP, up to the entire amount of principal and accrued interest may be forgiven to the extent Loan proceeds are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act and applicable implementing guidance issued by the U.S. Small Business Administration under the PPP (including that up to 75% of such Loan funds are used for payroll). The Company intends to use the entire Loan amount for designated qualifying expenses and to apply for forgiveness of the respective Loan in accordance with the terms of the PPP. No assurance can be given that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the Loan in whole or in part.

 

With respect to any portion of the Loan that is not forgiven, the Loan will be subject to customary provisions for a loan of this type, including customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of the provisions of the Note and cross-defaults on any other loan with the Lender or other creditors.

 

The description above is only a summary of the material provisions of the Loan and the Note and is qualified in its entirety by reference to a copy of the Note, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report on Form 8-K and 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.
