PPP Loans In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. As a result of COVID-19, we faced risks to raising necessary capital which could significantly disrupt our business. To help mitigate those risks and support our ongoing operations, in June 2020, we received proceeds totaling $3.34 million for two loans granted under the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) PPP. The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses. The loans and accrued interest are forgivable after 24 weeks as long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels. The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries during the forgiveness period. For the $3.30 million PPP loan, any unforgiven portion would be payable over two years, at an interest rate of 1%, with a deferral of payments for the first six months. For the $0.04 million PPP loan, any unforgiven portion would be payable over five years, at an interest rate of 1%, with a deferral of payments for the first 16 months. Our use of the loan proceeds through the forgiveness period was in compliance with the conditions for forgiveness of the loan. Per the terms of the PPP loans, payments are deferred for borrowers who apply for loan forgiveness until the SBA makes a determination on the loan amount to be forgiven. We applied for forgiveness of the loans following the covered period of the loans. Our $3.34 million PPP loans were fully forgiven by SBA in 2021.
