The Note initially matured on March 31, 2019 (though the Company had the right to prepay the Note, in whole or in part, at any time prior to maturity) and bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum, compounding annually. The Note is subordinated to the Credit Agreement. The Company used the proceeds received to make the initial payment under the Credit Agreement.

On June 25, 2019, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the subordinated promissory note with Mr. Herzog. The purpose of the amendment was to amend the maturity date of such subordinated promissory note such that it will be extended until September 30, 2022.

As a result, we believe the extinguishment did not and will not have any impact to the Company’s future financial statements.
