Paycheck Protection Program Loan

8. Paycheck Protection Program Loan

In April 2020, the Company received loan proceeds of $717,000 (“PPP Loan”) under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”).  The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business, calculated as provided under the PPP. The PPP provides a mechanism for forgiveness of up to the full amount borrowed after twenty-four weeks as long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds during the twenty-four week period after the loan origination for eligible purposes, including payroll costs, certain benefits costs, rent and utilities costs or other permitted purposes, and maintains its payroll levels, subject to certain other requirements and limitations. The amount of loan forgiveness is subject to reduction, among other reasons, if the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries during the measurement period. The Company will submit its application for loan forgiveness in the third quarter of 2020 and anticipates that the loan will be forgiven based on the current guidelines. The Company cannot provide any assurance that it will be eligible for loan forgiveness or that any amount of the PPP loan will ultimately be forgiven.

 

The PPP Loan is unsecured, evidenced by a promissory note (the “Note”) given by the Company as borrower through its bank, serving as the lender.  The interest rate on the Note is 1.0% per annum. Payments of principal and interest are deferred for seven months from the date of the Note (the “Deferral Period”). Any unforgiven portion of the PPP Loan is payable over the two-year term, with payments deferred during the Deferral Period.  The Company is permitted to prepay the Note at any time without payment of any premium.
