Alabama State Industrial Development Authority Financing and Economic Incentives

Note 13 – Alabama State Industrial Development Authority Financing and Economic Incentives

In conjunction with the 1995 expansion of our Huntsville, Alabama facility, we were approved for participation in an incentive program offered by the State of Alabama Industrial Development Authority (the “Authority”). Pursuant to the program, in January 1995, the Authority issued $20.0 million of its taxable revenue bonds (the “Taxable Revenue Bonds”) and loaned the proceeds from the sale of the Taxable Revenue Bonds to the Company. Further advances on the Taxable Revenue Bonds were made by the Authority, bringing the total amount outstanding to $50.0 million. The Taxable Revenue Bonds bore interest, payable monthly with an interest rate of 2% per annum. The Taxable Revenue Bonds’ aggregate principal amount outstanding of $24.6 million matured on January 1, 2020 and was repaid in full on January 2, 2020, using the funds held in a certificate of deposit by the Company. This certificate of deposit, which totaled $25.6 million, was included in short-term investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019. We made a principal payment of $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.

In conjunction with this program, we were eligible to receive certain economic incentives from the state of Alabama that reduce the amount of payroll withholdings that we were required to remit to the state for those employment positions that qualify under the program. Economic incentives realized related to payroll withholdings totaled $0, $1.2 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. This program concluded on January 2, 2020 following the maturity of the Taxable Revenue Bonds.
