On June 20, 2019, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement among the Company and Choice Financial Group. The Loan Agreement provides for a term loan in the principal amount of up to $24.0 million and is evidenced by a promissory note. The note has a maturity date of June 20, 2025. The first year of the note provided for payments of interest only, with the remaining five years requiring payments of interest and principal based on a 60 month amortization period. Interest is payable in an amount equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, but in no circumstances shall the rate of interest be less than 5.00%. The note may be prepaid, partially or in full, at any time and for no prepayment penalty. The Company is subject to various financial and non-financial covenants on this debt, including a debt-service coverage ratio. As of October 3, 2021, the note balance was $8.8 million, and the Company was compliant with all of its covenants.

In fiscal year 2020, the Company received funds of approximately $14.0 million in aggregate in connection with “Small Business Loans” under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP Loans”). These amounts were borrowed pursuant to the terms of the PPP Loans, in favor of Choice Financial Group. On June 11, 2021, the Company received a notification from Choice Financial Group that the Small Bussiness Administration approved the Company’s loan forgiveness applications for the entire $14.0 million balance of the PPP Loans and that the remaining balance of the PPP Loans is zero. As such, the Company wrote off the debt balance and related accrued interest of $14.1 million. Such amount was included in the Company’s income statement in the second quarter of 2021.
