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%.

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 U.S. Small Business Administration (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 year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a gain on the forgiveness of the PPP Loan and accrued interest in the amount of $3,599,000.

GFCM is an entity controlled by the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey T. Gill, and one of our directors, R. Scott Gill. GFCM, Jeffrey T. Gill and R.

Interest on the Note is reset on April 1 of each year, at the greater of 8.0% or 500 basis points above the five-year Treasury note average during the preceding 90-day period, in each case, payable quarterly. 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 Note maturing in April of 2023 and 2024. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company provided notice to GFCM of its intention to elect to defer the specified portion of the interest payments due beginning on April 6, 2020. All accrued but unpaid interest was paid on January 4, 2021.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company amended its secured promissory note obligation with GFCM to, among other things: (i) extend the maturity dates by one year for $2,500,000 of the obligation from April 1, 2022 to April 1, 2023; and (ii) extend the allowance for up to an 18-month deferral of payment for up to 60% of the interest due on the notes maturing in April of 2023 and 2024.
