On July 5, 2018, the Company entered into a Shareholder Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Pure Sunfarms, whereby, as of September 30, 2020, the Company had contributed $9,959 (CA$13,000) in the form of a demand loan to Pure Sunfarms. As of September 30, 2020, the loan amount bears simple interest at the rate of 4.2% per annum, calculated semi-annually. Interest will accrue and be payable upon demand. The balance of the loan, including interest, was $10,840 as of September 30, 2020. On February 13, 2019, the Company announced that Pure Sunfarms had entered into a credit agreement with Bank of Montreal, as agent and lead lender, and Farm Credit Canada, as lender, respect of a CA$20 million secured non-revolver term loan (“Credit Facility”). Each component of the Credit Facility matures on February 7, 2022, is secured by the Delta 3 facility, and contains customary financial and restrictive covenants. As a pre-condition to complete the debt facility, the Company made an additional contribution of CA$8.0 (US$5.7) million in Pure Sunfarms, further increasing its majority ownership of Pure Sunfarms to 58.7% from 57.4%. The Company is not a party to the Credit Facility but has provided a limited guarantee in the amount of CA$10 million in connection with the Credit Facility. On November 2, 2020, in conjunction with the closing of the acquisition of the remaining shares of Pure Sunfarms, Pure Sunfarms expanded the Credit Facility to CA$59.0 million, including accordion provisions of CA$22.5 million, and the Company increased its guarantee to a total of CA$20 million. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $114 due from its joint venture, Pure Sunfarms, primarily for consulting services and the reimbursement of expenses which mainly occurred in the year. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $4,610 due from Pure Sunfarms, primarily relating to an equity contribution of CA$5,940 (US$4,494) to Pure Sunfarms made by the Company, on November 19, 2019 when Emerald failed to make a required escrow equity payment to Pure Sunfarms on November 1, 2019. Emerald disputed the Company’s additional November equity contribution, as well as the cancellation of 5.94 million common shares of Pure Sunfarms that related to the failure to pay the CA$5,940 equity contribution. In an effort to narrow the issues in dispute and accelerate the resolution of this shareholder dispute, which occurred on March 2, 2020 with the Settlement Agreement, Village Farms unwound its November equity contribution in January with Pure Sunfarms providing Village Farms with a CA$5,940 (US$4,554) refund. On March 25, 2019, the Company entered into a Grid Loan Agreement (the “Grid Loan”) with VF Hemp. The Grid Loan has a maturity date of March 25, 2022 and bears simple interest at the rate of 8% per annum, calculated monthly. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019 the Grid Loan balance was $10,713 and $10,865, respectively. One of the Company’s employees is related to a member of the Company’s executive management team and received approximately $84 and $86 in salary and benefits during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company advanced $249 to an employee in connection with a relocation at the request of the Company. As of September 30, 2020, this amount was included in other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Financial Position. Summarized below are the amounts due from the joint ventures, including interest and included in the interim statements of financial position:
