Paycheck Protection Program

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company secured a $3,558,000 term loan (the “PPP Loan”) with BMO Harris Bank National Association (“BMO”). Proceeds from the PPP Loan were used to retain workers and maintain payroll and make lease and utility payments. The PPP Loan is evidenced by a promissory note in favor of BMO, as lender, with a principal amount of $3,558,000 that bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 1.00%. The term of the PPP Loan is two years, with no payments due under the PPP Loan until July 2021, although interest will accrue during the deferment period.

The PPP Loan is unsecured and guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company applied for forgiveness of the PPP Loan, with the amount which may be forgiven equal to the sum of payroll costs, covered rent and mortgage obligations, and covered utility payments incurred by the Company during the 24-week period beginning upon receipt of funds from the PPP Loan, subject to limitations and calculated in accordance with the terms of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”).

On June 28, 2021, the Company received notice from BMO that BMO had received confirmation from the SBA that the application for forgiveness of the PPP Loan had been approved. The loan forgiveness request in the amount of $3,558,000 was applied to the Company’s entire outstanding PPP Loan balance with BMO. During the three and six months ended July 4, 2021, the Company recorded a gain on the forgiveness of the PPP Loan and accrued interest in the amount of $3,599,000.

The note allows for up to an 18-month deferral of payment for up to 60% of the interest due on the portion of the notes maturing in April of 2022 and 2024.
